A good panel

Hello, I reinstall archlinux tale with OpenBox.
But I need a panel that supports icons and is customizable.
I try fbpanel but that does not suit me.
And with pypanel, I saw a tutorial on the forum but could not put icons.

Thank you

PS: Sorry for my bad english

Re: A good panel

By icons do you mean launchers or icons of taskbar?
Launchers are supported in:
xfce4-panel
gnome-panel
lxpanel
bmpanel2
perlpanel
...and perhaps some more.

Re: A good panel

pypanel does support launchers

~/.pypanelrc

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Application Launch List: Ordered list of icons and applications for the
#                          application launcher.
# 
# Add entries using the following format -
#     ("<executable>", "<full path to icon>")
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAUNCH_LIST     = [
                   ("chromium", "/home/stefan/icons/chromium.png"), 
                   ("sonata", "/home/stefan/icons/sonata.png"),
                  ]

You can configure the location of the launcher section in the same file:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Panel Layout:       -----------------------------------
#                     [  1  ][  2  ][  3  ][  4  ][  5  ]
#                     -----------------------------------
#
# The panel layout is split into 5 sections numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 as shown
# in the diagram above.  Each of the following objects can be enabled by
# assigning it a section number or disabled by assigning it 0:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESKTOP         = 1             # Desktop name section
TASKS           = 3             # Task names section 
TRAY            = 4             # System tray section
CLOCK           = 5             # Clock section
LAUNCHER        = 2             # Application launcher section

Re: A good panel

For openbox, you can't go wrong with bmpanel w/arch theme
