avant window manager, from google code.

i installed it but (in my case) it is too buggy to be usable.

I believe it's avant window navigator, hence the acronym AWN. I haven't tried it yet...is it gnome-centric?

my bad

notice how it cuts off the bottom of the screen, and the glass engine doesn't work. maybe i can blame ATI for this.

I know it's only been a day, but I just stumbled across this, thought it was cool, and jumped right in with the same problem that you had. Any fix found on your end?

I just installed it and love it.. but one question. Is there a way to make it so windows like firefox (when maximized) don't go under AWN, but instead STOP right at the top of AWN? Just a little annoying having to resize firefox everytime, or have a bunch of buttons at the bottom of the window, covering content.

Yes, I installed using the SVN method described


Avant-Window-Navigator (svn):
First install the dependencies:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev libgnome-common libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-vfs-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libwnck-common python-gtk2 python-gconf subversionNow, open a terminal in the directory you want to build AWN in (I use ~/Installs/avant/)

and do this:

Code:

svn checkout http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ avant-window-navigator
cd avant-window-navigator
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

I then ran AWN from the menu entry and encountered the issue. It's not that big of a deal, but it was pretty and I was hoping to add that to my desktop. I can either wait for a fix (since I'm a coding moron) or wait until I get a better lappytoppy :)

Thanks for the advice, though.
