What dock app is that? and does it require a composite manager? :-O

I grabbed awn from this launchpad repository

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu/ hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu/ hardy main

by installing the following packages

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr awn-manager-bzr

I imagine it does require compiz.

I really like the concept you have going on there! (Y)(Y)

My Windows cd broke so, I decided to give Arch a try have been running it for a few days now. I wish I was running tint. But it has no pager, dock, time, volume control. The recent version is very visually appealing and very customizable, except there needs to be an option for controlling the tint of non-selected icons. It's too dark by default. I tried to setup tint, pypanel, netwmpager and to provide me with missing functionality but it's impossible to adjust many things like system tray sizing with out overlapping. Netwmpager has become annoying due to the fact that clicking a full screen app in a different desktop moves to the one you are in. For now I use lxpanel, very nice panel but visual customization is garbage, partial transparency doesn't work for some reason.

Also using a custom openbox theme I'm working on, will release at some point. Murrina-Color is the GTK and wallpaper is a new one from interfacelift.(Calm Before The Storm) Sorry for long post. :p

BilliShere: Interesting setup.
