Avant Window Navigator (Awn) 0.2 was just released, and there is no doubt that it is one of the best looking docks I’ve seen on any operating system. There is a video below that shows all of the cool icon effects, including the sweet reflection. Before we get into that let’s take a look at what’s new:
- Icon effects - choose whether your icons bounce like cartoon characters, spin like a coin, or have a spotlight cast on them.
- Awn Manager - a unified interface for managing all of the settings Awn has to offer.
- Applets - you’ll soon be able to get things like weather, system information, and more all from the comfort of your own dock. Things like Stacks and a clock are also in the works.
Below is a video that demonstrates the various icon effects, and you better sit down if you haven’t seen it before. The 3D turning with the spotlight is my favorite.

Way too cool.
3D Turn w/spotlight = Awesome!
But can the start button be any distro you want? I use Klikit and don’t want a Ub’ start button. And will the start button show all your programs and load, or is it just for show? Will it also load Firefox and connect to the net?
Looks Kewl. gonna try it.
