The Launcher is a prominent feature in Ubuntu's desktop interface, providing quick access to your frequently used applications. However, if you prefer a less cluttered desktop environment, you may want to auto-hide the Launcher so that it only appears when you need it. Here are the steps to auto-hide the Launcher in Ubuntu: 1. Open the Settings app by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of your screen. 2. Select "Appearance" from the left-hand menu. 3. Under the "Behavior" tab, toggle the switch next to "Auto-hide the Launcher" to the on position. 4. Use the "Reveal sensitivity" slider to adjust how sensitive the Launcher is to mouse movements when it is hidden. 5. Close the Settings app and test out the auto-hide feature by moving your mouse to the left-hand side of your screen. The Launcher should appear when you hover over it and disappear when you move your mouse away. That's it! You have successfully set up auto-hide for the Launcher in Ubuntu.
