Installation is pretty simple -- Go to terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install awn-applets-all
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/neelance/awn/ubuntu natty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/neelance/awn/ubuntu natty main
Then update; The new repository will be there and the software can be installed. But we still have that little issue of it not working... Do this:
Code: Select all
gksu pluma /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu/mintMenuAwn.py
Once saved, kill AWN, then restart it. After a minute it should show up.
EDIT: Modding some features of AWN plugins where no dialog is accessible
Sadly, MateConf can't do this. Install gconf-editor, then once there, navigate to apps/avant-window-navigator to see the available components and change their features at will. When finished, you can safely remove gconf-editor and gconf-defaults-service.
If you want to replace mate with AWN entirely, this one is easy too! Go into the Configuration Editor utility, navigate to /desktop/mate/session/required_components and change panel from mate-panel to avant-window-navigator. Note you'll have to use xkill to force-kill it.
Want mate-panel back? Revert changes, or select Mate from the list of available sessions.
