Install a binary or compile from source.
Since there are no graphical presentation of gconf available in KDE, we use the command line.
So in konsole we type:
gconftool -R /apps | grep avant
...this outputs...
/apps/avant-window-navigator:
/apps/avant-window-navigator/title:
/apps/avant-window-navigator/app:
/apps/avant-window-navigator/bar:
/apps/avant-window-navigator/window_manager:
This time we want /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar
So in konsole we type:
gconftool --recursive-list /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar
...this outputs something like...
render_pattern = false
hilight_color = FFFFFF11
show_separator = true
sep_color = FFFFFF00
bar_height = 48
pattern_alpha = 1
icon_offset = 0
glass_step_1 = 454545C8
bar_angle = 0
pattern_uri = ~
glass_step_2 = 010101BE
rounded_corners = false
corner_radius = 10
glass_histep_1 = FFFFFF0B
glass_histep_2 = FFFFFF0A
border_color = 000000CC
Now change the bar_angle value from 0 to 45. (this lays down the bar), type in konsole:
gconftool-2 \
--set "/apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/bar_angle" \
--type int "45"
Next go down to icon_offset from 0 to 18. this adds a reflection underneath, type in konsole:
gconftool-2 \
--set "/apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/icon_offset" \
--type int "18"
Thats it, now restart AWN and you have a new sexy looking dock!
Pros:
- Looks and feels good.
- Easy to add new icon entrys. Just drag and drop.
Cons:
- KDE icons looks unclear.
- Requires gnome libraries
