In Unity, how can I make application windows open in the center of the screen?

Question

For Gnome this solution seems to work to center opened application windows horizontally and vertically. Does Ubuntu Unity 16.04 have a similar feature?

What yo need is CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM):

sudo apt install compizconfig-settings-manager
sudo apt install compiz-plugins

then open CCSM by going to the dash and type CCSM:

then go to Window management and window placement:

and play around till you've got exactly what you want!

Great! Tab `General` actually allows you to set `Centered` as the default. – orschiro Oct 22 '16 at 14:24
:D It has a ton of possibilities! I knew it existed but was too lazy to find it exactly. Favour returned, question upvoted! @RobertOrzanna – Fabby Oct 23 '16 at 08:52
