It was specifically made for Openbox but it should also work with other window managers (GNOME, KDE, XFCE etc.). It is based on ttm <ahref="https://code.google.com/p/ttm/">https://code.google.com/p/ttm/</a>.</p><h1id="features">Features<aname="features"href="#features"class="md2man-permalink"title="permalink"></a></h1>
<ul>
<li>Panel with taskbar, system tray, clock and launcher icons;</li>
<li>Easy to customize: color/transparency on fonts, icons, borders and backgrounds;</li>
<li>Pager like capability: move tasks between workspaces (virtual desktops), switch between workspaces;</li>
<li>Multi-monitor capability: create one panel per monitor, showing only the tasks from the current monitor;</li>
<li>Graphic glitches on Intel graphics cards can be avoided by changing the acceleration method to UXA (<ahref="https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/595">issue 595</a>)</li>
<li>Window managers that do not follow exactly the EWMH specification might not interact well with tint2 (known issues for <ahref="https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/385">awesome</a>, <ahref="https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/524">bspwm</a>. <ahref="https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/456">openbox-multihead</a>)</li>
<li>Full transparency requires a compositor such as Compton (if not provided already by the window manager, as in Compiz/Unity, KDE or XFCE)</li>
