tint2 is a simple panel/task-bar made for modern x window managers.

tint2 is a system panel for linux. It is described by its developers as "simple panel/taskbar unobtrusive and light". It can be configured to include (or not include) among other things a system tray, a task list, a battery monitor and a clock. Its look can also be configured a great deal, and it does not have many dependencies. This makes it ideal for window manager users who want a panel but do not have one by default, like Openbox users.
