I found this application on the crunchbang linux forums. It is a python/pygtk application and it has its own configuration program built it.
I think people on here might like it. I installed by downloading the tar file, unzipping and running ./adeskbar-conf to configure the app and then ./adeskbar to run it. It can sit on the bottom,top,left or right and can autohide. Transparency does not work with xcompmgr, but does with compiz.

Wow, that's what I keep looking for, but I just install Cairo-dock for my apps launcher....
Thank you, perhaps I'll try it one day.

Something also to look into is the latest release of Gnome-do. It has a pretty nice dock interface called Docky! For those who don't know, gnome-do is an application launcher of awesomness. It opens files, opens programs, gets you girlfriends, drinks your milkshake, and a myriad of other things. Using it will really help you understand. But, the docky interface is a smart dock that customizes itself to your usage patterns. Do you open firefox a lot? A launcher will be created on the dock, and so on.
Plus, it's really sexy! Give it a try!
I've never heard of adeskbar, though. Is it rather new? I'd assume it would've been mentioned whenever AWN came up in conversation.

Hey, I just tried this out and it's the first dock / app launcher I like
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

running your bzr pkgbuild and it works great, thanks. Also, I think it is around 2 months old.

Change -conf to adeskbar-conf :-)

This looks like what I was looking for a few months ago, but I just set up Xfce-panel like a dock now.

i can't get it to work with pekwm...it shows up and then it stays hidden...mouse over won't bring it up

hi geoisis,
I never try pekwm before. So I can't really help you. I just install pekwm , same thing append for me I don't know what 's wrong with this WM ...
If you set "hidden size" to 4 or 5 px , adeskbar bring up on mouse over .. ( you can change this value in config file : ~/.config/adeskbar/config )
I use openbox , so I develop and test ADeskBar for openbox , but it works fine with xfce , fvwm, gnome, ..
Maybe you should add some stuff into your pekwm' config ?
Again , sorry I can't help a lot ( and for my 'scrappy' english, too )

hey adcomp!
adeskbar is really nice.
but you cannot add commands with options (smth like "/usr/bin/gmusicbrowser -launch_or_cmd ShowHide");
i always get this error:
[ADB] config = config
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/adeskbar", line 46, in <module>
bar = ADeskBar.Bar(cfg_file)
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/ADeskBar/__init__.py", line 178, in __init__
self.load_config()
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/ADeskBar/__init__.py", line 181, in load_config
self.config = read_config(self.cfg_file)
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/ADeskBar/core.py", line 70, in read_config
desc, icon, cmd = tmp[1].split('##')
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
and the mouseover aminations do not seem to work like in the youtube video. actually only the hover zoom works.
have i missed smth?

Hi DonVla,
It's strange .. It should work. I use command like "xdotool key meta+space" or "midori www.ad-comp.be" , and it works fine for me ..
Can you copy/paste ( pastebin ? ) your config file ? take a look ~/.config/adeskbar/config
here an launcher' example :
## Example : launcher = <command>##<icon>##<description>
launcher = firefox##/usr/share/pixmaps/firefox-3.0.png##Web Browser
launcher = midori www.ad-comp.be##/usr/share/icons//hicolor/48x48/apps/midori.png##Home Page
launcher = xdotool key meta+space##/mnt/data/images/adeskbar/menu.png##Openbox Menu
If you want "animation", "zoom" checkbox should not be selected ..
Thanks for your feedback, bye
## EDIT
This is an "alpha release" so it's for testing .. source : http://www.ad-comp.be/public/projets/AD … .3.tar.bz2
* bar size, icon padding / icon spacing , % fade when inactive, new 'form' for background, some change into UI settings ..
* line and curve form/syle are "in progress" , "Use image as background" need some work around ( mask with cairo drawing/form ? )

hello again
changing the "hidden size" did the trick, but i finally found the solution. if you use pekwm you must set the "EdgeSize" in config file to "0 0 0 0".
i assume having the "hidden size" to "1", and the "edgesize" to "1 1 1 1" didn't allow adeskbar to showup when the mouse was over it.
thanx again and keep rocking
btw i use adeskbar-svn
one more thing...for opacity to work i need xcompmgr right?

@ geoisis : Thanks for your feedback .. and yes , it works without composite ( xcompmgr , compiz , .. ) but for opacity , you need it.

hey ADcomp,
tried now version 1.7.3. works great so far!
though the config file bug still exists. the problematic entries are:
launcher =catfish --method=slocate --path=/home --fileman=rox##/home/vlad/.icons/black-white_2-Vista_big/scalable/apps/tracker-applet-indexing1.png##catfish
launcher =export OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0 && /usr/bin/opera -style skulpture -notrayicon##/home/vlad/.wbar.icons/opera_black.png##Opera
when i uncomment them adeskbar runs fine.
once again, really good work!
thanks,

@ DonVla : Thanks for your feedback. With this , I found where is (my stupid mistake) the bug. I update quickly
By the way, i'm working on little 'menu' for adeskbar ( but you can launch it as standalone ) :

Hi DonVla,
If you can't wait .. simply apply this change in /usr/share/adeskbar/ADeskBar/core.py , line ~85
desc, icon, cmd = tmp[1].split('##')
tmp2 = line[len(tmp[0])+1:]
desc, icon, cmd = tmp2.split('##')
nb : take care .. Python uses indentation to mark blocks of code.

thanks ADcomp.
tried that and it works fine now (1.7.3).

hello ADComp,
i have a feature request .
i like the auto-hide option;
with an opened window, it would be nice if adeskbar would stay below,
but visible when root desktop is shown - like without auto-hide.
when the cursor hits the screen border adeskbar pops up above the window - like with auto-hide enabled.
i don't know if it's hard to implement.
i think it is a nice and useful feature.

Hi,
Thanks guys ..
@DonVla : cool feature but at this time, I can't do it .. I just started python and I'm not a guru So if i found a work around for this , I add it soon as possible.

hi ADComp,
adeskbar still hangs because of the
launcher =export OPERAPLUGINWRAPPER_PRIORITY=0 && /usr/bin/opera -style skulpture -notrayicon##/home/vlad/.wbar.icons/opera_black.png##Opera
line.
when i try to start opera by clicking on the opera icon in adeskbar, i get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/ADeskBar/__init__.py", line 401, in expose
self.draw_launcher(cr)

OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/go-openoffice'
and adeskbar hangs.
i have to kill it with ctrl-c or kill command.
vlad
ps: the last four lines are opera related.
opera starts fine, adeskbar hangs.
