First install Tint2.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/stu90/lucid.pup ... .7.1-1.pet
Then open Rox-filer file manager and navigate to /root directory - in a clear area right mouse click > Display > Show hidden
Now in the /root directory look for the file .xinitrc
Before we edit this file first make a back up copy in case you want to revert back to the lucid default with fbpanel - drag & drop > Copy to some other directory or partition.
On the /root/.xinitrc file Right mouse button click > file '.xinitrc' > open as text
The two lines we will edit are line:164 and line:169
On both lines delete the fbpanel text and replace it with tint2
So now lines 164 to 169 in /root/.xinitrc should look like this:
Code: Select all
if [ -f /usr/bin/tint2 ];then
#a bit of a hack: when 3builddistro runs fixmenus, which calls variconlinks,
#which populates /var/local/icons with symlinks, /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps
#is not yet populated (happens at first boot, from default icon theme)...
[ ! -e /var/local/icons/home48.png ] && ln -fs /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/* /var/local/icons/
tint2 &
Next go to menu > System > Bootmanager configure bootup Then Manage services - Choose which system services to start at bootup and untick fbpanel
Now restart x-server or switich to openbox with wm-switcher
Menu > Desktop > Desktop Settings > WM switcher switch between windowsmanagers
You should now have Tint2 panel instead of Fbpanel when you are useing the openbox windows manager - tint2 is very customizable and there are lots of tint2 setups for it if you search google "tint2 config" - the file you will need to edit to change the tint2 panel is /root/.config/tint2/tint2rc
Below is an example of another tint2 panel configuration.
And the code for it:
