Good guide. My 2 cents. AWN is not actually known to be stable. Theres a huge thread on ubuntuforums.org. I got couple of errors compiling error but was able to get it to run with them. I don't seem to have problems now. but not all APplets it provides work properly.

Great work, Shashwat

Btw, for those whom AWN is not working kindly post the output of command "avant-window-navigator" in the terminal.

Dark Star · 24-11-2007, 08:58 AM

ALso make sure 3d composite manager is switched on

praka123 · 24-11-2007, 11:03 AM

make sure ur /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains

Code:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

enabling compositing!just to make sure!

u can even start the dock from applications-> accessories ...

Kenshin · 24-11-2007, 01:38 PM

hehe ha re....and how to make the dock a bit away from the edge...ie i want to increase the offset of the bar and not the icons.

infra_red_dude · 24-11-2007, 01:45 PM

The reason why I asked you to post the output of avant-window-manager in Terminal was to get to know error messages, if any. Its still not a stable release. Its good that its working now

The Bar offset CANNOT be changed.

Kenshin · 24-11-2007, 02:01 PM

Ohh and can i change the icon of launchers and notification icons....like rt now i hv added the notification area to the bar....and this pidgin icon kinda looks odd hehe

infra_red_dude · 24-11-2007, 02:04 PM

This is coz the Pidgin icon used in the theme is NOT scalable. You need a theme with bigger icons. To maintain clarity icons which are not scalable are NOT scaled.
