lightweight *vertical* panel
Hi
I have a wide monitor, so i'd prefer to have panel (windows list, clock, volume control, ...) which behaves nicely in vertical orientation.
I'm not interested in gnome/kde/xfce - in some light alternative. Any suggestions, with your screenshots, if possible?
Thanks!

Would gkrellm suffice?

Does it need one? It satisfies all your other dependencies rather well -- it would have a hard time generating a window list anyway -- it needs to work under any WM/DE.

Re: lightweight *vertical* panel
What DE/WM are you using? If you use fluxbox it's panel can be oriented vertically, or for other DE/WMs you could try one of these.

I started using lxde, with lxpanel. I used xfce before, but i'm looking for something lighter. I know there's a lot of panels out there, but i'm looking for experiences with vertical ones

Re: lightweight *vertical* panel
You can align Xfce4-panel vertically, or if it's too heavy for you then:
