PyPanel is a lightweight panel/taskbar written in Python and C for X11 window managers. It can be easily customized to match any desktop theme or taste. PyPanel works with EWMH compliant WMs.
The panel displays currently running tasks/applications and can also be configured to display the current desktop name, date/time, a system tray (notification area) and application launcher.
When the panel is minimized, either manually or by autohide, it can be restored by moving the mouse over the top or bottom of the screen where the panel was displayed prior to minimization.
All image rendering (icons and background transparency/tinting) is handled by Imlib2.
Mouse button events on panel objects are handled by the ~/.pypanelrc configuration file. The file is a python script which gets imported/executed when PyPanel is invoked. Ensure that it contains proper Python formatting and no syntax errors or the panel will not start!
