Hello people! I've been using a RPI B for over a year now and I heared about the new GUI in raspberian (let me know if I spelt this right). I was wondering if there is a way to get this without re-imaging my Sd card.

Hey fruitoftheloom thanks I have seen that page but it doesn't seem to say anything about getting the new GUI to work. However I may have missed it...if it is in there it would be great if you could let me know what paragraph it's in.

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-ui-mods

Gets the new GUI installed. To get it active for an existing user you have to delete all the stored GUI metadata in the home directory.

I set up a new id and logged in to the GUI to discover what all that stuff was called and which hidden files and directories it was stored in.

Sorry, I did it once then promptly forgot the details because it worked.
