hackdorte@20009 1 **Avant Window Navgator** (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of
hackdorte@20009 2 the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows.

hackdorte@20009 4 Awn uses libwnck to keep a track of open windows, and behaves exactly like a
hackdorte@20009 5 normal window-list : * Clicking an icon switches to that window, clicking
hackdorte@20009 6 again will minimise the window * Right-clicking will bring up a menu exactly
hackdorte@20009 7 like that of what you see on the window-list, allowing you to max, min, close,
hackdorte@20009 8 resize etc the window. * Dragging something on top of an icon will activate
hackdorte@20009 9 that window. * Visually (and quite attractively) responds to 'needs attention'
hackdorte@20009 10 & 'urgent' events * Can show windows from the entire viewport, or just the
hackdorte@20009 11 visible viewport.

hackdorte@20009 13 The bar can be customised extensively: * Choose between two 'engines': * Glass
hackdorte@20009 14 engine. All the gradients can be changed to your tastes. * Pattern engine.
hackdorte@20009 15 That's right, you can now have a leopard print bar to match your underpants.
hackdorte@20009 16 * The border & internal border colours can be changed. * The 'glow' (the
hackdorte@20009 17 background of an active window icon) can be changed, to be as simple or as
hackdorte@20009 18 lavish as you require. * Choose between sharp or rounded corners. * Choose
hackdorte@20009 19 the text & shadow colour of the window title text.

hackdorte@20009 21 All preferences can be adjusted using the provided avant-preferences program,
hackdorte@20009 22 which provides a friendly interface to the gconf settings.
