Try checking out the SVN version.

You could have to delete your ~/.foopanel/config.xml - or edit it and set "debug" to "0" and "ontop" to "1"

This was a known bug that was fixed in more recent versions of
gnome-python-extras. You need a newer version of that package.

Could you post some more lines, so I can see were is the error? Thank you

@Jon: I agree, the second one is wonderful.
Actually when I started thinking of Foopanel I was wondering if I would have been able to embed applications in the panel like it does in the first screenshot with that IM application, but then I didn't look in it very much. Howerer the panel-related things shouldn't be very hard to reproduce, I'll keep them as ideas for future features and plugins.
However the application behavior has not much to do with Foopanel, it would be extremely cool if this will be implemented in Gtk+ 3.

Now, if I'm able to get the Fooopanel window translucent I can try to design a theme looking like that for the panel

Check out:

and

They both have some cool ideas. I really like the second one. Maybe you could have a go at making something like that?

I'm getting this error when I try to launch the app:

"AttributeError: 'module' object has not attribute 'Config'.

I had already installed pyxdg, which was required.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Thank you very much :-D

Some clarifications: PyXDG is needed by the "Menu" plugin to build the menu, once the plugin architecture is complete it will be required only if you want the menu.

There are various other plugins in the SVN version, of which those who currently seem to work are the "Mediaplayer control" (but works only with Quodlibet, need to write other wrappers), the taskbar (windowlist) and a pager (that require gnome-python-extras) and a plugin reloader (useful to test plugins while developing).

I guess I should add this infos in the description :-)

For it to work I needed to install pyxdg first. But it certainly looks promising :)

Doing some cool work, good to see something to rival the default docker, although it hasnt got anywhere nears its plugins yet. Keep up the good work
