Avant Window Navigator description |
|
|
Avant Window Navgator is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen tracking open windows. Avant Window Navgator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows.
Awn uses libwnck to keep a track of open windows, and behaves exactly like a normal window-list:
· Clicking an icon switches to that window, clicking again will minimise the window · Right-clicking will bring up a menu extactly like that of what you see on the window-list, allowing you to max, min, close, resize etc the window. · Dragging something on top of an icon will activate that window. · Visually (and quite attractively) responds to 'needs attention' & 'urgent' events · Can show windows from the entire viewport, or just the visible viewport. The bar can be customised extensivley:
Choose between two 'engines':
· Glass engine. All the gradients can be changed to your tastes. · Pattern engine. Thats right, you can now have a leopard print bar to match your underpants :). · The border & internal border colours can be changed. · The 'glow' (the background of an active window icon) can be changed, to be as simple or as lavish as you require. · Choose between sharp or rounded corners. · Choose the text & shadow colour of the window title text.
All preferences can be adjusted using the provided avant-preferences program, which provides a friendly interface to the gconf settings. Requirements:
· GTK version 2.8.x
· patched libwnck & libwnck devel
