can anybody help me figure out what panel this is?

i need a panel that has the ability to be spaced away from the edges, like in this image

so far ive tried...
pypanel (i cant get the spaces around the edges)
bmpanel (i thought i could do the spaces  around the edge with .png images but i cant seem to get it to work right)
xfce4panel (i can get it to rest freely wherever i place it, but i cant make it keep a constant width unless its wall to wall)

Patched pypanel -- try this version from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17137

Re: can anybody help me figure out what panel this is?

well, i tried it but now i cant get pypanel to start

[tj@myhost ~]$ pypanel
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 966, in <module>
    PyPanel(display.Display())
  File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 56, in __init__
    if P_L_BUFF != 0 and P_R_BUFF != 0:
NameError: global name 'P_L_BUFF' is not defined
[tj@myhost ~]$

EDIT: nevermind i figured out that you have to add this to .pypanelrc BEFORE trying to run pypanel

P_L_BUFF = 4
P_R_BUFF = 4
P_T_BUFF = 0
P_B_BUFF = 4

everything works great, thanks
