A straightforward and capable taskbar.

I've used this for a long time, and it's done the job well. I just want something similar to Windows 95.

• A component of LXDE.
• I used to use fbpanel, and switched to this because of some nu This is a fork of fbpanel, which I had use

• Its clock uses strftime

32 bit ∞

The 32 bit repository is http://ponce.cc/slackware/slackware-current/lxde/

If you get something like

bash: /usr/bin/lxpanel: No such file or directory

Then you've tried to run a 32 bit executable on a 64 bit distribution. You need to get 32 bit software.

64 bit ∞

Tested and works, and also gives a sound control icon and a proper applications menu.

I had used this from a long while back, while struggling with fbpanel issues.

• Sometimes an application will keep blinking. I have no idea how to solve this other than to exit and re-start the application.

Alternatives ∞

• fbpanel

• tint2

  • Would need a little more configuration than what I've done already.
