bmpanel (bitmap panel) is a lightweight, netwm compliant panel for x11 window system, which contains a desktop switcher, taskbar, system tray and clock. the application is inspired by simplicity of fspanel. bmpanel has a modern look and feel, while keeping itself tiny and small.
it is written in c and has only a few dependencies, such as: imlib2, xlib, fontconfig, xrender and xcomposite extensions. also, the panel has a few notable features:
bmpanel can select argb visuals providing, together with composite manager, a true transparency (but system tray doesn't work in composite mode). bmpanel has no configuration files. its behaviour is customized via themes. well, it is themable!
bmpanel doesn't try to be portable. it should work on a distribution with the latest linux kernel and with the latest software (probably cvs/svn/git versions). supported architectures are x86 (32 bit) and x86_64 (64 bit). however, bmpanel may work on other distributions, kernels (like freebsd) and even architectures, but it isn't guaranteed.
