If you are a Mac OSX fan, I am sure you love the dock functionality of OS X. We have docks for Windows like Object Dock etc. but so far none of them have come up to terms with the OS X Dock. Well finally Linux has a dock, that I believe is a lot more better than the dock in OSX. I am not a Linux user, and I still use Windows XP as my default OS, but with every passing day, i am itching to try out Ubuntu.
I Have been building replacement software for everything that I use in Windows, and I can say that AWN(Awant Window Manager) is definitely a better Alternative to Objectdock. Just a couple of days ago, we saw the release of AWN 0.2 and here is what is new :
- Icon Effects
You can choose weather you want to have the dock icons bounce, spin or have a spotlight cast on them, when you click or hover over it.
- AWN Manager
A Unified interface to tweak all the settings and options that AWN has to offer. - Applets
Applets are coming soon, You will be able to have Weather Docklets, Clock, System info, and OS X look alike Stacks.
Well if you aren’t impressed enough, then have a look at this video. The video demonstrates some of the effects that are possible with AWN.
So if you are a Linux user, go ahead and try out, AWN today.
Thanks Cybernet News
