Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.6 released with Desktop Recovery(Download Link Include)

Ubuntu-Tweak has released a very important version Ubuntu-Tweak-0.5.6 with a powerful desktop setting backup tool:Desktop Recovery.
There are some tutorials in my blog about how to decorate Ubuntu desktop make it looks like Windows 7 or Mac.It always changes the panels,themes,and it is troublesome to reset them to the default. Desktop Recovery is the tool integrated into Ubuntu Tweak to help people safely tweak with desktop settings, and never worry about how to go back.

It has three basic actions:

Backup: backup the current settings, keep as many as backups you want;
Recover: recover to the backup;
Reset: even you don’t have any backup, you can also reset to the default settings;

Desktop Recovery can backup almost everything of desktop/applications.

One thing You MUST know: it will only operate with the setting, not the files related with the setting. E.G. It will backup the setting about the background name, but not the real background file.
