Synopsis

bmpanel2 [-h|–help] [–version] [–usage] [–list] [–theme=<theme>]

Description

BMPanel2 (bitmap panel) is a tiny little bar on the top of the screen or on the bottom. It contains different "widgets" – the pieces of functionality which help user to interact with his desktop. Some of the default widgets include:

1. Taskbar – A list of tasks (windows) on the current desktop.

2. Desktop Switcher – Allows user to choose current desktop.

3. Systray – Also known as notification area.

4. Clock – No comments.

5. Launchbar – Allows user to run different programs in one click.

The main goal of this project is to create a simple, lightweight, nice looking, but still useful panel, that will be accompanied with another piece of a really good software – the Openbox 3.
