| About LXPanel |
Lightweight X11 desktop panel based on fbpanel
It's the default desktop panel of LXDE project:
http://lxde.sourceforge.net/
LXPanel is a lightweight X11 desktop panel contains:
1. User-friendly application menu automatically generated from *.desktop files on the system.
2. Launcher bar (Small icons clicked to launch apps)
3. Task bar supporting urgency hint (Can flash when gaim gets new incoming messages)
4. Notification area (System tray)
5. Digital clock
6. Run dialog (A dialog let you type a command and run, can be called in external programs)
7. Net status icon plug-in (optional, ported from gnome-netstatus-applet)
8. Volume control plug-in (optional, written by jserv)
9. lxpanelctl, an external controller let you control lxpanel in other programs. For example, "lxpanelctl run" will show the Run dialog in lxpanel, and "lxpanelctl menu" will show the application menu. This is useful in key bindings provided by window managers.
LXPanel is based on fbpanel originally written by Anatoly Asviyan.
./configure --help to see available options. (default options is quite OK, though)
Please take a look at /usr/share/lxpanel/default to understand the configuration.
The config file of lxpanel is different from fbpanel's.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.12.x.
Other dependencies include:
mime-cache,lxmenu-data

| Latest Version: 0.4 |
Hi all,
Here comes the latest release of LXPanel - version 0.4.
First I'd like to say sorry because this is not a bug-free release.
Some existing problems are not completely solved yet, but most of the bugs causing crashes were fixed.
However, we feel it's right time to have a new release.
The menu-cache library is now stable enough for extensive use in LXDE.
This will give us a enhanced and faster application menu and lxlauncher.
Later, the lib will be used by pcmanfm, too.
The new features and some important bug fixes really deserves a new release of lxpanel.
So here comes version 0.4.
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180858
To use LXPanel 0.4, you'll also need following packages:
* menu-cache (lib used to parse freedesktop.org menu file and generate menu)
* lxmenu-data (data files used to generate application menu)
What's new:
* A whole new application menu generated according to freedesktop.org menu spec.
(faster and more standard-compliant. has tooltips for menu items)
* Enhanced "Run" dialog.
* Auto-resize of application launcher buttons when panel size gets changed.
* Some important critical bug fixes.
* The problematic netstat plugin is now turned off by default. It will be moved to a separate project later.
* Building dynamic panel plugins outside the source tree of lxpanel is now possible.
* and more...
Some bugs are not yet fixed and we know that. We'll do our best to fixed them later.
