@jur If you are interested in taking over the maintenance of tint2, please feel free. Since LXDE became available in the repo I have not used or followed tint2. My build script is available in the extension sources dir on the website and I believe there should be a couple extra tintrc's in the current extension that were made by the original creator, one of which mimics the early JWM tray. If you do not wish to take over maintenance, then I will take a look at it when I find some time, but I dont know how quick that will be.
