fbpanel [OPTION]

fbpanel is desktop panel which provides graphical information and feedback about desktop activity and allows interaction with the window manager. It features: • taskbar - shows a list of the managed windows (tasks) • pager - thumbnailed view of the desktop. • launchbar - buttons to quickly launch applications • show desktop - button to iconify or shade all windows • image - display an image • clock - show the current time and/or date • system tray - tray for XEMBED icons (aka docklets)

fbpanel requires NETWM (www.freedesktop.org) compliant window manager. You can run many instances of fbpanel each with its own configuration (see OPTIONS below).

--configure

-- open configuration dialog

--profile <name>

-- use specified profile. The profile is loaded from the file ~/.config/fbpanel/<name>. If that fails, fbpanel will load /usr/share/fbpanel/default. No -p option is equivalent to -p default

fbpanel will create a default profile file in case there noone exists already. Default profile file contains comments and explanation inside, so it should be easy.
