Avant Window Navigator
Avant Window Navigator (Awn) is a Mac OS X like panel for the
GNOME
Desktop written in C. In addition to launchers that can be
dragged onto the bar, it features a taskbar that behaves similarly to
the Mac OS X dock. The window navigator uses the composite extension
for transparency and other effects.
It can be used for anything from the launching of simple
programs to complex multi-tasking. This application compares to The Mac
OS X dock in functionality, allowing the user to specify its position
on the screen.
The look and feel are fully customizable, and theming support
is also available.

Features include:
- Based
on the workspace concept, but the space is two dimensional
- Customise
the bar:
- Choose between two 'engines':
- Glass engine. All the gradients can be changed to your
taste
- Pattern engine
- The border & internal border colours can be
changed
- The 'glow' (the background of an active window icon) can
be changed, to be as simple or as lavish as you need
- Choose between sharp or rounded corners
- Choose the text
& shadow colour of the window title text
- Each time you move to a new, unvisited workspace, a
terminal window is automatically launched, emulating TTYs' behavior
- Delete an entire workspace, killing all the window launched
in it
- Delete an entire dimension, deleting all the residing
workspaces
- Order windows on the fly
- Proc-like interface
- Launchers
- Task lists
- Plugins:
- Awn Extras provides a number of important applets (not
unlike the panel applets for GNOME
and Xfce)
in a single package, along
with a number of plugins that allow applications to better interface
with Awn's task manager. These applets range from a Trash applet to
fancy workspace switcher
