1 **Avant Window Navgator** (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of
2 the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows.
4 Awn uses libwnck to keep a track of open windows, and behaves exactly like a
5 normal window-list : * Clicking an icon switches to that window, clicking
6 again will minimise the window * Right-clicking will bring up a menu exactly
7 like that of what you see on the window-list, allowing you to max, min, close,
8 resize etc the window. * Dragging something on top of an icon will activate
9 that window. * Visually (and quite attractively) responds to 'needs attention'
10 & 'urgent' events * Can show windows from the entire viewport, or just the
11 visible viewport.
13 The bar can be customised extensively: * Choose between two 'engines': * Glass
14 engine. All the gradients can be changed to your tastes. * Pattern engine.
15 That's right, you can now have a leopard print bar to match your underpants.
16 * The border & internal border colours can be changed. * The 'glow' (the
17 background of an active window icon) can be changed, to be as simple or as
18 lavish as you require. * Choose between sharp or rounded corners. * Choose
19 the text & shadow colour of the window title text.
21 All preferences can be adjusted using the provided avant-preferences program,
22 which provides a friendly interface to the gconf settings.
