The demonstrated prototype is based on the Wayfire compositing manager, which utilizes Wayland and allows for resource-friendly user interfaces with 3D effects similar to Compiz 3D plugins. The sidebar and top panels, pop-up dialogs, and the Dash interface for navigating installed applications were developed using the gtk4-layer-shell extension and widgets provided by the libadwaita library.      <center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Recreating the Unity user interface using Wayfire and Libadwaita\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4473a49f9b687656f2df9941fb43f2ff.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center>    <center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Recreating the Unity user interface using Wayfire and Libadwaita\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c766bfb1ade5a36ef59aba4a46cc67a4.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center>    <center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Recreating the Unity user interface using Wayfire and Libadwaita\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1961967c01c2611f3b8939099e37702.jpg\" style=\"display:block;margin: 0 auto;\" \/><\/center>      <center><div class=\"youtube-placeholder\" data-id=\"eoUYAcf2ml0\" onclick=\"loadVideo(this)\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/eoUYAcf2ml0\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Play video\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\">\r\n        <div class=\"play-button\"><\/div>\r\n    <\/div><\/center>      <\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that the UBports team is developing the Lomiri user interface (last updated in 2025), which branched off from Unity 8, while the Ubuntu Unity distribution has taken over the Unity 7 codebase development (last updated in 2022).

In Ubuntu 16.10, in addition to Unity 7, the Unity 8 interface was included, which was adapted to the Qt5 library and the Mir display server. <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\"
