[ubuntu] HOWTO: functional eye-candy with Avant-Window-Navigator

Yeah.. I thought as much. Thanks again for the comfirmation of doom, though.

Hello together,

hope my english is good enough to understand what i'm talking about

I've pulled the main panel (from top) to bottom, because i like it as more as on top. Now there is a problem with onTop / ofTop:



How can i tell the panel to stay in the back? or other way round, how can i tell the AWN to stay ontop if i click on the panel?

Greetings
MrM

this is not currently possible I'm afraid. AWN is not intended to be used on the same screen edge as a panel.

Hi, thanks for making such a cool app! I have one issue, and that is it opens on the wrong display and I can't find an option to change this.

here are some of my specs, I'm not sure what's relevant:
ubuntu version: Hardy 8.04
video card: Nvidia (installed via Edgy)
window manager: Compiz

I am using twinview, and my second display is a TV (to my left). I need it to open on my Samsung (main screen) instead of the TV. Any help is appreciated, thanks again.

close AWN

open gconf-editor (alt+f2, enter gconf-editor)

navigate to apps->avant-window_navigator

enable force_monitor
set monitor_height to the height of your main monitor
set monitor_width to the COMBINED width of your monitors
set monitor_xoffset to the width of your TV monitor

start AWN, it should now be it the correct position

reacocard, you are a genius. I just finished doing this and was going to post the workaround in the thread but you beat me to it!

Thanks so much, have a great day!

How do I eliminate the gnome panel?

Except for the top panel, you can just rightclick on it and 'delete' it.

Or make it Autohide.

The task that I start using the launchers do not show up anywhere.

I'm having this same problem, and been looking through many pages to see if a solution was posted but couldn't find one.
Any help would be much appreciated, and thanks for this great how to!
