Other Recommendations (If you know how to do any of these programmatically, please contribute)

1. Install all Kali tools: apt-get install kali-linux-all (This is not included in kali-fresh-setup.sh because the install is 2GB, and some people may not be interested in all of the tools.
2. Add custom shortcuts: Settings --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts --> Custom Shortcuts --> +
3. Change power saving settings so screen doesn't go blank after 5 minutes: Settings --> Power --> Blank Screen
4. Change theme/icons: Tweak Tool --> Appearance
   • My personal favorites are Albatross for Window and GTK+ and Gnome (default) for Icons
5. Enable/Disable Extensions: Tweak Tool --> Extensions
   • Recommend enabling Native window placement, Removable drive menu, Window list, and Workspaces to dock
   • Recommend disabling Dash to dock
6. Show date and seconds at top: Tweak Tool --> Top Bar
7. Enable static workspaces: Tweak Tool --> Workspaces --> Workspace Creation
   • I prefer 6
