It will be possible to configure COSMIC to look like Unity out of the box. There's only a few panel applets that need to be implemented to make the experience 1:1.
I am still a bit confused that it's considered pre-alpha, when a final release is scheduled for later this year. That will be an awfully short alpha, beta and RC cycle then.
Yes, you can do anything with COSMIC's dock and panel. No extensions needed. If an applet exists on the system, you can embed it into your panel or dock.
Whoa, nice. Sounds like the best of GNOME and KDE combined, plus extra goodies like tiling. I'm not sure I can give up the AUR so I hope I can use this on Arch one day.
This is what I've been chasing for a while. Bspwm like tiling with a unity like interface for the status bar, dock, system management, etc. I've been debating trying this through xfce or kde but havent had the spoons to give it a go
