Avant Window Navigator - a MacOS inspired panel replacement
The task bar, first introduced with Windows 95, has remained a fixture in a number of operating systems for many years. Small additions have been made like searching or quick launch shortcuts, but the basic formula has not changed a great deal. Ubuntu (or Gnome more specifically) is no exception. Windows 7 and the MacOS have broken away from this established paradigm, merging quick launch shortcuts and the list of running programs by allowing you to launch a new instance of an application, and then select it while it is running, using the same icon. It saves on screen real estate, and both OS's do it in a fairly sexy way. Avant Window Navigator is an application for Linux that emulates these newer task bars. It can be freely downloaded from the Ubuntu repositories. |
