Unity bar redefines the traditional taskbar, looks magnificent on on large screens. By default the Unity bar sits in the left side of the screen and you can position it anywhere depending upon your choice. You can't however remove the unity bar from the interface. Unity bar can be used to launch applications, minimize them and even perform desktop searches. The buttons on the bar can be moved, and new buttons can be added. We are yet to explore it more, so more update about it will come later.
In Apple Mac, the top bar updates itself with the menu items of the application which is currently active. The new uBuntu features the dynamic menu-bar which gets the relevant menu items and drop-downs. Looks like uBuntu got this feature directly from OSX.
