Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
This page is for suggestions for awn, please list them below:
- Add an option to change the font of the tooltips and to change the size of the icons.
- Plugin API
- Widget API
- Theme Packages
- Make topaz ideas a reality.
- Gaim Icons that show whats going on
- close application by pressing the middle mouse button while on icon
- display the systray / notification area
- autohide & hide on hotspot / hotkey
- Allow setting the icon for an app manually, so that the default icon settings can be overridden.
- Allow adding a launcher icon via a right-click menu.
- My Topaz Gaim awn twist
- Include an option to disable the sudden appearance of apps that want my attention (like a gaim window that just got a message) from appearing in awn when they're on another desktop.
- The ability to add gnome-applets to the dock (or at least the usp menu, trash and "show desktop")
- Option to make icons not bounce when I hover over them (This may introduce a whole new set of options that let you customize feedback based on the information provided by the window manager, e.g. opening, closing, needs attention.)
- make the height of the dock configurable
- Cycle focus thru window list using the scroll wheel
- Differentiate between minimized and opened windows
- Support Unicode labels
- Add Zoom/Fisheye animation effect a la MacOSX - perhaps appropriate code from gnome-dock? http://www.gnome-dock.org/
- Make dock movable, to different sides of the screen
- translate AWN for other languages
- Order app icons by the viewpoints where the apps are located
- Add plugin-load hook (see: Listen plugin)
- Add ability to disable all mouseover effects, including the little bounce.
- Group windows and have the option of when to group them (always, never or when space is limited)
- Add a context menu option to launch new, to launch another instance of a already launched program.
- Make awn scroll when it's bigger than the screen (the most friendly thing I see is to position it inversely proportional to the pointer, so the more the left the mouse moves the more to the left of the bar is revealed until it the dock's border is in touch with the screen)
- The possibility to move the awn bar in another desktop side.
- Allow AWN able to ignore certain program windows. Useful for programs that have a systray icon/other access.
- Better support for drag and drop between programs: if the cursor touches a window icon while draging something, awn should bring that window on top so one can drop the something (really useful).
- Add ability to group icons. You could switch between entrys in a group by using the scrollwheel over an icon. In this case the current icon would change to the next in the group (would be a good idea for window-groups for gimp or glade2 too)
- Fly-out launches like in ObjectDock, or at least some form of application menu.
- Let us be able to move launchers around by dragging them, so we can change their order on the dock.
Implemented Suggestions
- Have a clear separator between launchers and windows.
- Have launcher/window separator bar disappear when nothing is on the other side of it.
- Tooltips should be "on top" of everything - at the moment, the dock is always on top, but windows near it cover up the app name when I hover.
- Music Player Icon Changes to album art of song playing Let us be able to move launchers around by dragging them, so we can change their order on the dock.
