Supplement to the Mac style of ubuntu with Awn beautification

There are a lot of articles on the Internet that beautify Ubuntu as a Mac interface (you can see that I post turn your Ubuntu hard to Mac OSX leopard
For Ubuntu 9.10 installation, which has been modified in this article), the AWN tool simulates the startup bar of the tray at the bottom of the Mac. The big icon is really easy to use.

 

Defects:

However, as mentioned above, deleting the panel at the bottom of ubuntu will cause a problem when maximizing the application. The bottom of the application will be at the bottom of the display, and will overlap with awn. In this way, the use of word and other programs will cause some inconvenience, and awn may hold some buttons at the bottom of the word.

 

Solution:

Use a transparent and appropriate panel in the lower left or lower right corner to block the application window from the bottom of the monitor.

 

Practice:

Right-click on the top panel and choose new panel from the shortcut menu ~
/. Gconf/apps/panel/toplevels may have the panel_0 folder (the folder names may vary by individuals). Modify ~
/. Gconf/apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0

/% Gconf. xml file, which can be referenced or modified by younger brother. There are two lines in red, and the first line in red "48" indicates the height of the Panel. The second line in red indicates the position of the Y axis, and the value is equal to the total pixel of the Y axis of the Monitor-the above 48
.

<? XML version = "1.0"?> <Gconf> <Entry name = "size" mtime = "1265035829" type = "int" value = "48"/> <Entry name = "x_right" mtime = "1265035426" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/x_right" type = "int" value = "-1"/> <Entry name = "screen" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/screen" type = "int" value = "0"/> <Entry name = "unhide_delay" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/unhide_delay"/> <Entry name = "animation_speed" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/animation_speed"/> <Entry name = "Monitor" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/monitor" type = "int" value = "0"/> <Entry name = "auto_hide_size" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/auto_hide_size"/> <Entry name = "X" mtime = "1265035854" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/X" type = "int" value = "0"/> <Entry name = "Y" mtime = "1265035854" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/y" type = "int" value = "852"/> <Entry name = "orientation" mtime = "1265035985" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/orientation" type = "string"> <Stringvalue> bottom </stringvalue> </Entry> <Entry name = "y_bottom" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/y_bottom"/> <Entry name = "auto_hide" mtime = "1265034058" Schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/auto_hide" type = "bool" Value = "false"/> </Gconf>

At this time, the Panel will be reduced to the lower left corner of the screen. When the application window is maximized, it will not continue to overlap with awn.
In addition, the background of the Panel is ~ /. Gconf/apps/panel/toplevels/panel_0/background/% gconf. for configuration in the XML file, you can right-click on the panel-> properties, set the background to transparent, or refer to my configuration file:

<? XML version = "1.0"?> <Gconf> <Entry name = "stretch" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/stretch"/> <Entry name = "fit" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/fit"/> <Entry name = "image" mtime = "1265036624" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/image" type = "string"> <Stringvalue>/home/Miao/pictures/wallpaper/dscf0090.jpg </stringvalue> </Entry> <Entry name = "color" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/color"/> <Entry name = "type" mtime = "1265036634" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/type" type = "string"> <Stringvalue> color </stringvalue> </Entry> <Entry name = "Rotate" mtime = "1265033883" schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/rotate"/> <Entry name = "opacity" mtime = "1265033961" Schema = "/schemas/apps/panel/toplevels/background/opacity" type = "int" Value = "0"/> </Gconf>

 

Final Result: The csdn image cannot be uploaded and will be added later. Defect: in the lower right corner, the edge of the Panel is exposed. In the Panel enpand, the edge disappears, but sometimes it stores awn.
