Are you looking for a system info utility (flit, conky) or a network manager (wicd)?

conky will show a lot of info, but it takes some effort with the config file - you can get a bunch of ready made config files from their web site though...

OK, but what do you want in the sidebar, system info or a network manager?

I have recently found  network_tray  on the Puppy forums (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=98464) and hacked it to be compatible with Tiny Core.

I guess I could post the code and even submit an extension to the repo but I'm not sure about the licensing so I'd need confirmation by someone more involved in the free software world.

Maybe this would be better

The first few lines say:
Quote
/*Network monitor for system tray*/
/*(c) Copyright Barry Kauler 2010, bkhome.org*/
/*GPL license: /usr/share/doc/legal/gpl-2.0.txt*/
/*first release, version 2.0, may 18, 2010*/

..so it should be OK

You can get puppy linux pets on tiny core?!?! Please share a method if nobody haven't had yet!
I need something like this (on picture) but for openbox/flwm.

When i search using search/provides/tags for applets,widgets doesn't give appropriate.

Wicd mysteriously not working nor installing on my system.
