OpenSource with Ubuntu - Making it look like OS X Leopard

I quick guide and comparison on how Ubuntu 7.x can be configured to look like OS X Leopard.

Adding Avant Window Navigator to your Ubuntu install

Avant Window Navigator, or AWN is a neat little dock that sits at the base of your monitor and looks exceedingly nice. It’s a great addition to your compiz-fusion install (in fact, you need compiz or something like it running for AWN to work).

Ubuntu Gutsy - AWN rocks!

I have played around with screenlets. Very nice, but nothing functional enough to grab me. But, AWN is something that looks good and I find very useful. The dock is stable and has good properties management. And there are now new applets being added at a rapid rate. New applets added in the last few days include a volume applet, CPU-meter applet, and GMail checking applet.
