Hi grimoire!

I'm really surprised that after all this time no one has posted any feedback to you about your package - so I'll do so. Wink

Myself? I appreciated the work you've done on this to have given us an updated FBpanel, especially seeing that I like to oft-times switch out my LXpanel in the LXDE desktop for this.

6.1 is an excellent upgrade and I hardily urge anyone using the prior 4.12 version to switch to this one as it works and look far, far better! Very Happy

I really appreciate how the Dev behind the project has taken out the text for the memory/cpu on the taskbar and has replaced that with GUI gauges instead which are far more attractive in design.

One bug still remaining which the Dev hasn't quashed: FBpanel still has that nagging problem of not listing all desktop files from "applications", so one can ( and frequently does ) end up with a somewhat/sometimes sparse menulisting. However, the main programmes ARE picked up, and if one is using either bbdock, or wbar - or both as in my case - then you can often make up the defficiency. Wink

Despite this I've always been drawn back time and time again to FBpanel... Perhaps it's because of the attractive pager? Who knows?

Thanks again grimoire for making this available! It is very much appreciated!

Cheers/Amicalement!
