OK, that is a good point, I am a bit confused about Unity 8 on the 
desktop, so that is going to have a switcher and dash that look more 
like the simplified phone stuff and not the nice translucent stuff we 
have today in 16.04. Bit disappointing we have to dumb down the desktop 
graphics to the phone level to be honest, but that is better than being 
inconsistent I suppose.
