Title: Is it worth packaging bmpanel?
Post by: peterc on July 15, 2010, 10:50:41 PM

So for kicks and giggles I have compiled bmpanel (nsf.110mb.com/bmpanel/ (http://nsf.110mb.com/bmpanel/)). However, while testing it, I discovered that it really only works in fluxbox, openbox, and icewm. (I didn't try metacity, but I presume it would work.) Because it needs a NETWM-compliant window manager, it does not work in aewm++, evilwm, flwm, hackedbox, windowlab, or tinywm. Well, it works, but all it shows is the panel and the clock; no workspaces or taskbar, which in my opinion makes it rather useless. (I didn't test to see if the systray worked.)

So, it is still worth submitting it as an extension?

My vote is yes, with a notice in .info file about compatible WM's.

Looks nice, more versatile than tint2, so I would like to try it. :)

Ok, the ayes have it. I've submitted the extension.
