Good Morning :)

Today I stumbled upon a very interesting panel, The Avant Window Navigator, it is like the Mac OS X panel, 3D, Buttons bounce, flip, glow etc… It is very pretty and it replaces every widget we have ever used…

The Avant panel can’t operate without compiz, so first you need to install compiz, there is plenty of articles around the net, just search for an article that works for your distribution, once that’s done and tested you should install the AVN…

Now you should remove all Gnome panel, just follow this tutorial, don’t forget to add AVN to your session.

This is merely a TIP, but It’s very usefull, if, for some reason, you would like to get rid of all gnome panels but you don’t wish to lose what gnome-panel offers with it then this is your answer…

First off, here’s a Screenshot to show you what I’m talking about.

We don’t really remove the Panels, we just hide them, so start off by removing all panels, you’ll have one panel left that you can’t remove so do the following:

Open Gconf-editor and goto to /apps/panel/toplevels and set these values:
auto_hide: yes
auto_hide_size: 1
expand: no
hide_delay: 1
monitor: 3
unhide_delay: 10000
x: 10000
y: 10000
