[edit] Trunk

These features are only available in Awn's trunk, and are not available in any release. You must either install from source or use a repository to get the latest and greatest of Awn and Awn Extras.

[edit] New Features

  • Several new configuration options were added, but are not yet available in Awn Manager. See list
  • You can right-click on any applet, launcher, and task to access Awn Manager.
  • Awn now uses Cairo for icon effects, reducing memory usage and increasing speed.
  • Vala applets can now be built using multiple source files, easing applet development.
  • The icons of many applets can be changed by simply dragging and dropping the desired icon onto the applet.
