Could we please have a changelog ?
November 1, 2009 at 11:04 am
I did brief changes review few posts ago. No, I don’t like the changelog.

A bug report: reconfiguring by bmpanel2cfg doesn’t let to use transparency.
November 1, 2009 at 2:18 pm
There is some kind of a bug, yes. And I have no idea why is this happening. Because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
November 1, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Oh.. it looks like I’ve just fixed it. Please check out the git version.

Now it does not reconfigure at all, I have to kill and restart it.

You’re doing something wrong. It works for others, I’m sure.

Now I see, it now both works and works with transparency.

I’ll take a look at it tomorrow.
I made a ZeroInstall feed for bmpanel2. Worked reasonably painlessly. Got it up and running on the XO-1 via Zeroinstall for the environment I’m making.
I’ll update it for 2.1pre1 and send you a copy so you can host/maintain it yourself if you feel like it.
(I’ll probably be hitting the code myself shortly, I want hooks for things 🙂

I really like the zeroinstall concept, but I think it isn’t the time for such systems yet. So, I’m definitely excited about the feed, but I won’t host/maintain it. Currently I’m maintaining the PKGBUILD for archlinux only.

just updated to 2.1pre1 using PKGBUILD
works flawlessly.
i’m curious though – is it planned to support tweaking theme properties, like panel positioning on top/bottom of the screen, and applets ordering inside the panel? now i have to change theme file itself to achieve that. is there a better way?
November 1, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Initially bmpanel2 has concept where theme is a kind of a snapshot of a look of the panel, not like skin with separate elements. But it seems linux people like to tweak things. Currently there are no tweaking options, sorry.

Hello my friend!
I love BMPanel! I use it with Openbox and Pekwm. Now, I’ve packaged BMPanel for Fedora. The rpm package can be downloaded from here:

Thank you very much for this very useful panel!

As far as I can see, you’re using bmpanel1, you should also try bmpanel2: http://code.google.com/p/bmpanel2

Is it possible to put the panel vertically? Nowadays many screens are wide, so it makes more sense to put the panel on the left or on the right, than on the bottom or top.
December 18, 2009 at 7:06 am
No, it isn’t. The panel can be placed only horizontally. It was just made that way, sorry.
