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.

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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.

      Google Chrome 149.0.7827.115 (offline installer) by Razvan Serea The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer.

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Chrome has many useful features built in, including automatic full-page translation and access to thousands of apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store. Google Chrome is one of the best solutions for Internet browsing giving you high level of security, speed and great features. Important to know! The offline installer links do not include the automatic update feature.
