however, it should be made known that the option to have a dock instead of a panel does exist. under somewhere in the preferences like 'interface' or 'visual effects' there should be an option to install and use the AWN dock if desired (with a notice saying whether or not it is installed on the system yet of course), and then it could be automatically set to start up every time you log in, because as of now, you have to add it to the startup programs manually. also, it's be cool if you could access the awn configuration manager there from the same appearance app (only if it's installed of course, just like with compiz's advanced manager).

so yeah, dont include awn by default, but let people enable it easily if they want to... (not that it isnt easy already, but if someone doesnt know about it, and wants something like that, it would help them out the most).

EDIT: by "Other Operating Systems:", I mean the actual line of text that says that in the menu.

'Phun' is an interesting physics playground/sandbox program. Not very useful or important, but it would probably be 'phun' to have around...

its not a big deal, but it would make it seem a bit more 'professional' when someone enables that effect...

but yeah, we have a tabbed text editor, and web browser, so why not a tabbed pdf viewer?

the following are some ideas for improvements that could be accessible as options in a 'properties' menu of sorts for the applet:

- 'Notes always on top', or at least have it as an option in each new note, just like every other window
- 'One-click on icon to make new note', just as an option, every other panel app seems to respond on a one-click, why doesn't this one?
- 'On icon click (or double click, depending on the previous options), hide all notes', again, just a minor adjustment to let the app get out of the user's way (i.e. not forcing them to go to the applet menu)


and finally, let us access this properties window directly from the applet menu, as opposed to making us open a note in order to adjust stuff...
