So what's new in Talika 0.50? The most important changes have been made to the icons such  as custom icons for the launchers (right click a launcher (pinned app), and select "Change icon)), better default icons, option to use monochrome icons and so on. The "Pin" feature has also received a lot of attention and you now have pin options for pinnable applications, support for pinning apps via drag and drop and better pinning support for OpenOffice and WINE apps.

Talika is a GNOME panel applet that lets you switch between open windows using icons, similar to DockBar or DockBarX.

Talika .deb files are available, but not a PPA to stay up to date. Because I got lots of emails to create a PPA for Talika, here it is:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/talika && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install talika

And finally, add the Talika applet to a GNOME panel.

The PPA currently maintains Talika for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, 10.04 Lucid Lynx and 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Talika is also available in the WebUpd8 PPA - all the packages we maintain will also be available in the WebUpd8 PPA.
