Awn 0.2

It has been quite a while since I’ve written any Linux related topics. This one should be good - at least I’m excited about it. The image above is a partial screenshot of an image on Flickr, displaying a last.fm player applet. Take a look at the full image if you’re curious.

Awn 0.2 has just been released. This version has some really nice features, which includes icon effects and has an awesome 3D look. There is even a manager for it that allows you to change options, applets and themes.

Check out the video of the icon effects in action.

Linux that looks like Vista. I’m sure some people have their own opinions on this one. I think it’s great. So many people like how Vista looks, but can’t stand the problems with it. Vixta.org could be a solution.

It looks almost like Vista, except for the start button. There may be more features that aren’t exactly like Vista, but it’s close enough. I have not yet tried it out, but I may in the near future.
