AWN Manager – Mac OSX like dock for Ubuntu

By Prakash / 28-Dec-2009

I installed AWN Manager on Ubuntu, following the instructions here.

Here is what I liked.

It looks cool 🙂
Can auto-hide, giving you more desktop real estate.
Has cool applets like fortune which I enjoy reading and reminds me of bash days.

What I didn’t like

It crops up when you don’t want it to.
A little buggy, it doesn’t show when you want it to! and sometimes the icons goes missing, a refreshing of the screen fixing this issue.

Have you tried cairo-dock? I have been using it for quite some time (I tried awn before that) and it really works well.
