Version 34 - view current page

This page is for suggestions for awn, please list them below:

  1. Let us be able to move launchers around by dragging them, so we can change their order on the dock.
  2. Add an option to change the font of the tooltips and to change the size of the icons.
  3. Plugin API
  4. Widget API
  5. Theme Packages
  6. Make topaz ideas a reality.
  7. Gaim Icons that show whats going on
  8. close application by pressing the middle mouse button while on icon
  9. display the systray / notification area
  10. autohide & hide on hotspot / hotkey
  11. Allow setting the icon for an app manually, so that the default icon settings can be overridden.
  12. Allow adding a launcher icon via a right-click menu.
  13. My Topaz Gaim awn twist
  14. 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.
  15. The ability to add gnome-applets to the dock (or at least the usp menu, trash and "show desktop")
  16. 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.)
  17. make the height of the dock configurable
  18. Cycle focus thru window list using the scroll wheel
  19. Differentiate between minimized and opened windows
  20. Support Unicode labels
  21. Fisheye view effect
  22. Make dock movable, to different sides of the screen

Implemented Suggestions


  1. Have a clear separator between launchers and windows.
  2. Have launcher/window separator bar disappear when nothing is on the other side of it.
  3. 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.
  4. Music Player Icon Changes to album art of song playing
