Awn

Where are AWN's config files?

Asked by dwasifar

I originally installed AWN from source and was at 0.2.1. I uninstalled 0.2.1 manually and installed 0.3.1 from the bzr repos. I would like to start fresh but I can't seem to find where to delete the old configuration so that AWN starts new. Where are the config files? I've tried deleting the obvious locations, ~/.config/awn and ~/.gconf/apps/avant-window-navigator, but the old configuration still keeps popping up anyway.

Also, is it possible to mix launchers with applets? I can't seem to find a way to do that. Launchers appear on the left, applets on the right, running applications without their own launchers in the middle; and though I can reorder launchers among themselves, and applets among themselves, I don't see how to mix them. (This is why I want to kill my old config and start new - I'm hoping that will make it work differently.)

This is not currently possible. However, it is planned for a future release. (And no, there is no timeframe as to when that will be - Awn operates on feature-based releases instead of time-based releases.) For more information:

Thanks for the tip on the preferences :)

Is it possible to at least move the groups around? In 0.2.1 it goes (left to right) applets, launchers, other running apps. Now in 0.3.1 it seems to be launchers, other running apps, applets. Ideally I'd like it to be launchers, applets, other running apps. Is this configurable?

No. Currently, launchers and the task manager are fixed together in that order. That will be another aspect of the launcher/task manager that will be changed in the same future release.
