I used synaptic to download it, it appears in my applications but when I click on the AWN it blinks a white box at me and then disappears. Is there something I am missing or have to install with terminal?

Other people are reporting crashes with this software. The latest version seems to be buggy. It's not to be relied upon.Originally Posted by deadlySniper
Update: it opens fine for me, but after a few seconds, it freezes with my icons in mid-bounce.

Open up a terminal and type the following:
What is the output?Code:avant-window-navigator

Well, I get this:

Looks to me like your configuration for AWN is bad. Try uninstalling it from Synaptic, including configuration files, and try again.

I get thisavant-window-navigator
Code:Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager.

That's a no-brainer.Make sure you have desktop efects turned on. Ubuntu, since 7.10 Gutsy, has Compiz Fusion installed by default. Just make sure you have a video card that supports it, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and click on the Visual Effects tab and select Minimal or Extra.
Note: If you're feeling lucky, you can try installing compizconfig-setting-manager and customizing your effects. But that's not needed for AWN.
If THAT doesn't wanna work, go into the terminal and type the following:
Code:compiz --replace

Do you have compiz installed?

i do but the screen resolution is too small for me which causes the apps to look very big
