Awn

Always hide

Asked by Chloe Kever

Is there any method of making AWN always hide, IE when no windows are intersecting it, have it still hide. I'd like it to only show when I roll my mouse within the threshold.
If there is any source mod or anything it'd be greatly appreciated.
The only real problem with a source mod would be that I am having problems getting it to compile in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx due to dependencies on files that don't exist. Thus, I'd prefer a non-source-code solution over a source mod, but if it requires changes to the source code, I feel that I'll eventually figure out how to get it to compile.

Thanks again.

You can't do it through awn settings but the following should work.

Start gconf-editor.
In gconf-editor navigate to /apps/instances/avant-window-navigator/panel-<#>/panel
set the Intellihide key to 0
set the autohide key to your preferred autohide effect.

I looked, and the intellihide key doesn't exist.
Unfortunately, creating it didn't help either.
Any other ideas?

I'd suggest using the packages from the awn-testing ppa - the intellihide_mode key is present. That being said it was recently moved and if you have an older version than what is present in awn-testing then look in /apps/awn-applet-taskmanager/ (it's a boolean and you need to set it to false/uncheck)
