… I will NOT be returning to panels… I like AWN that much!''
==Background==
I find '''Awn''' to allows me to work very efficiently on my computer system, and provides a very clean interface.
I no longer require a separate panel to show applications that are currently running, the docking station places an arrow below the icon to indicate the number of instances of that application. If I require to go to that instance, I just click on the icon and select that instance from a menu...
==General Tasks==
3. Remove all panels, so you are just using AWN.
==Installing AWN==
'''INSTALLING AWN'''
