Re: New GUI
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.

Re: New GUI
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.
