AWN – Just another launchbar for linux desktop

Written by Mel Kham on November 10, 2009. Posted in Linux tutorials

Avant Windows Manager is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. It can be used to keep track of open windows and behaves like a normal window list. AWN is some eye candy.

Open terminal and add the repository using this command : (Newbis just copy/past the command on the terminal)

Ubuntu9.10 Karmic koala :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awn-testing/ppa

I like the idea of a dock, but I prefer to use wBar. It is configured by a text file, but it is way fast. Less features than launchy or awm or cairo, but it just does what is has to do: launch apps…

I agree with you about Wbar,but the problem of wbar is that the last release date of 2007, you can check here :
