AWN Manager

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.
