Looks nice! Will it be possible to switch desktops with this using the scroll wheel (the way Metacity does it)?

No problem. I'll add it to the list.

how about "on hover show available workspaces"? this way you can keep your single-click approach and me/we space on AWN.

Mention it again once I have the other items completed and I'll consider it as an option.

Looking for testers using a non-compiz window manager or using compiz without large desktops.

Large desktop ? I have a standard desktop :-)

But maybe too much "bleeding edge"....?

Starts OK but if I clicks on another desktop every icon
are removed from AWN dock and the desktop has only the wallpaper.

Alt-tab and choosing one running app and everything is back to normal...

Nothing with gdb....

Running apps on other desktops are also invisible. In your picture its possible to see this.

gconf-editor

win_grab_method and mode ????

EDIT found it

"win_grab_mode,win_grab_method - if window grabbing is enabled controls the the method. Currently there is only 1 method..."

Your repo, rev 444, Hardy Heron, CF-Git

Thanks !

I understand....
ok. I think I know what is happening.
In your awn-manager general tab is show windows from all viewports checked? If not then try checking it.

Yup.... works OK with that function unchecked :-)

One alternative is to disable the viewport switcher plugin but
then you loose the scrollwheel functionality.

I now also sees running apps on different desktops.

Thanks !

there should be some useful output in $HOME/.xsession-errors if other autostarted apps haven't filled it with crap (I'm looking at you, pidgin).

Well... it was "high traffic" in that logfile.... :-)

Crap ???

Heh... it's been pushed now.

Did you try restarting gconfd (the process name is probably gconfd-2) ?

dirken said:
wtf is doesn't work, in fact your tric does work but when switching desktop by clicking on a desktop everything disapears. My windows, my awn content,... Not the bar itself or the gnome-bar but just all the rest and i can't get it back :s

what is your window manager? Might it be compiz?

plunn said:
Its complete broken for me also... the same error as I had a week ago.

Is it this one?

"plunn said:

That isn't supposed to be an error per se. It's actually an event that is expected to occur sometimes. But if it's crashing immediately afterwards then that's a problem.

plunn said:
Everything just crashes with an empty dock.

So it isn't working at all?

plunn said:
Hardy Heron and Compiz from GIT

Yeah... compiz is kind of problematic for me right now.

moonbeam said:

Well, it works with Metacity composite manager :-)

Broken with Compiz, it doesnt crash with an empty bar, nothing happens if I click on another workspace.

Your branch, rev 484

Onilton said:
Can I have the 4 viewports, like this

So you would like to have a vertical size of 4, horizontal of 1 in the compiz config and wrap the switcher viewports wrap it so it shows up as 2x2?

Onilton said:
Yeah, something like this, it's a matter of saving space in the bar... :P

You might want to check out the "applet_scale" gconf key. try something like 0.7.

Onilton said:
If it's not possible or ridiculous to have an option like this.. never mind...

I'll keep it in mind but I think it would be surprisingly painful to do.

Onilton said:
Other thing, would be nice to have something showing in which viewport you are... Or something to number the viewports, don't know if is good or not. maybe a number in the center of the 2x2 view for example<br />

The background transparency actually varies for the active workspace but you don't see that when there are fullscreen windows. You might want to check some of the other config option. I believe the default config actually lightens the icon emblem on the active window.

I'll look into adding something a bit obvious.
