Openbox +xcompmgr + Avant window navigator

Running arch + AWN and it works pretty good, except one thing, and that thing sure is annoying! It is like AWN occupies all the space on the bottom of the window. Like all the scrollbars/button on the bottom 50 pixels are unusable. I can't click on them,And I can't use autohide on AWN either. It hides, and it stays hidden!

I think you might find cairo-dock more to your liking, it has the option to stay below other windows until you move the mouse
to the edge of the screen.

Re: Openbox +xcompmgr + Avant window navigator

It's a bug/feature not implemented in openbox. It takes the invisible part of the window as part of it. AFAIK, it's solved in svn, but I have never tried it.

PS: It happens with gnome-do+docky too

Re: Openbox +xcompmgr + Avant window navigator

It seems like my computer doesen't want cairo-dock, becuase when I try to install the cairo-wglitz package it conflicts with other packages, And when I try to remove those packages,they conflict with other packages like openbox.

Hi bredin, I think what you are describing might be an awn bug.
You may also try wbar (and it's configuration utility wbarconf), which is simple and cute also.

To be honest, Arch's XFCE is pretty damn light. You could just hop up to that since the difference isn't enormous.

Or if you're feeling saucy, set up Compiz as a standalone. I do that every so often and aside from using a bit more CPU (surprise) it's just as quick and light.


And in the midst of such perfection,
I can't help but feel diseased.

Re: Openbox +xcompmgr + Avant window navigator

the cairo-dock that pacman offered didnt agree with me either, but i had more success with the svn version
get from svn by doing

svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/cai … cairo-dock

and compile/install manually
