SYNOPSIS
fbpanel [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

fbpanel is a desktop panel which provides graphical informations 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

fbpanel requires a NETWM (www.freedesktop.org) compliant window manager. You can run many instances of fbpanel each with its own configuration (see OPTIONS below). Most updated info about fbpanel can be found on its home page: http://fbpanel.sf.net/
