Everyone's got a different taste. This counts for clothes, art, ... and your desktop. You should be able to customize your desktop to your needs, no matter if your computer supports 3D acceleration or not.
Unity 2D Configuration Utility helps you customize your Unity 2D desktop to your likings.
Added a warning dialog for when the user is not running Ubuntu 12.04.
Replaced the notify-osd telling you to log out and log back in by a dialog, but it only shows when some of the QML properties were changed.
Made the dialog unresizable.

Added a dialog that warns the user when he is not running Unity 2D, and asks if he wants to continue anyway.
It's in beta! This basically means that the risk of screwing up your system is almost as small as it can get...
