How to run Avant without compiz.
For those of you wanting to run the Avant launcher but can’t because of compiz, I have a solution for you. Basically Avant was meant to be run with a composite manager such as compiz, but because some of us don’t have adequate video cards, we can’t run this cool tool.
Note: Avant is a Linux task manager much like the one MAC OS X uses. It’s a nice little piece of eye candy that can help you get around your desktop a lot quicker and easier. There are many effects you can use to customized the look and feel such as the zoom in effect. You can also download various themes for the bordering graphics too.
All you have to do is install the xcompmgr tool which will can run in the background of your system. Then you can simply start Avant like you normally would.
To Install….
$ sudo apt-get install xcompmgr
To Run…
$ xcompmgr && avant-window-navigator
