Re: tint2 with system tray

Tint2 is the only tray/task-bar setup I actually like, I prefer its sleek and simple concept and how easy it is to customize.  I think it complements Conky and end-user customization.

Re: tint2 with system tray

I must be missing something here.  I installed tint2 from the repository in #! 9.04, but it doesn't seem to do much.  Right-clicking on it doesn't bring up any dialogue boxes for adding applets or icons.  What advantage does it have over lxpanel?

Re: tint2 with system tray

tint2 doesn't have a GUI for configuration. All of its options can be changed in a text file.

The advantage is that it is lighter (I think) and that its appearance is very customizable.

Re: tint2 with system tray

No, right-clicking does not work... I suppose it's a matter of taste whether you like Tint2 or LXPanel or something completely different. Here are instructions for configuring Tint2:

I never use smilies, but there are exceptions that prove the rule wink

I find the text configuration is pretty simple right now. Still, if anyone wishes for a gui, here is tintwizard. Though, i haven't tested it yet.
