<p>You can hide the <gui>Launcher</gui> if you only want to see it when you move your
21
mouse or touchpad pointer to the left side of the screen.</p>
24
<item><p>Click the icon at the very right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
25
<item><p>In the Personal section, click <gui>Appearance</gui>.</p></item>

<p>To help prevent you from accidentally showing the Launcher, Ubuntu requires you to
31
push a little bit harder with your mouse or touchpad pointer to make the Launcher show.
32
You can adjust the force needed by setting the <gui>Reveal sensitivity</gui> lower or higher.</p>
