The world and its dog knows that I’m a Docky die-hard but even my jaw dropped a little when Ulbadulba sent me a preview of his new experimental AWN build dubbed ‘Lucido’.
It. Is. Crazy. Good.
It takes AWN away from just being a window manager and jettisons it fully into the land of panel-replacement territory ” with a slick interface to boot. This is exactly the kind of direction AWN needs to be taking, in my opinion at least, in order to “keep up” with the joneses’ ” in this case Docky.
Enough of boring you with too many details, just watch the video below to see it in action or scroll on down for installation instructions.
