Hi!
I`m running OpenBox on my 32 bit Arch. I`ve been using xfce4-panel, but found out that i like tint2 better.
However, i lack some things in it.
1. keyboard layout indicator. In xfce4-panel there was a native plugin. Even though i always switch with Ctrl+Shift, i like to know what language (russian, latvian or english) i am using at the moment. Maybe there is tray utility i missed on?
2. workspace switcher/indicator. I just like to know what workspace i am currently on.
3. calendar app (ideal is in tray ) that when clicking on it, shows me a simple calendar. I know about conky, but i don`t like this option.
Looks like that is everything for now. Would love to hear your opinion.

I don`t want other panels... I like tint2
Ok, looks like i found a solution for a calendar: Orage, which may be started in minimized in tray.

You can try axkb, it's on aur. It has many configuration options and places itself in the tray showing either a flag or the name of you layout, it depends on qt4.

thank you very much, skualito! axkb works perfect for me! Now only workspace switcher left to find!

Sounds like you've found your calendar, but I am still going to suggest lalcal. It sits in the tray as the time, and then pops up a calendar when you click it.
As for the workspace switcher... I would suggest visibility. It's primarly a taskbar (with icons and tooltips) but it can be set up to display which workspace you are on as well.

Ok, so i skipped the tint2 panel, since it`s tray was a bit buggy. I do love the panel itself, but i`ll have to wait for an update. So i switcher to pypanel, which is also great.
Now, i need a mail notification and weather tray icons... are there any you would recommend? I found a "mail-notification" in pacman, but it messes up my pypanel. I don`t want to use conky, since it may mess up my desktop when there is no internet connection. And using desklets would be the last choise for me...

I use http://checkgmail.sf.net. Nice notifications and you can read your mail and mark as read right from the desktop.I think it is ONLY for gmail though.

So after my search gave no results, i`ve decided to stay with conky... Thanks for replies anyway.

Well, I'm also using pypanel and checkgmail works fine. I agree with you about tint2, though. The tray got completely messed up when I had SCIM and checkgmail running.
