Desktop icons / launchers for openbox

I've been trying to find a decent dock, or bar, just to add some shortcuts to frequently used applications to my openbox desktop., the flashier the better, but bearing in mind that I'm on a 1.6ghz atom :\

I know there are a bunch of screenshot threads in the artwork forum, but they seem to be mostly 40+ pages of dead links to images and config files, whereas I really just want some names of apps or links to screenshots / wikis I can check out.

Any help or pointers would be fabbo.

Check out wbar or Adeskbar. Theres also dock programs like Cairo-Dock.

When I used openbox, I used tint2. I used the Crunchbang wiki for documentation; they have a lot more stuff on Openbox than we do.

Tint2 doesn't support launchers though. Its mostly a panel and nothing else.

wbar is a good alternative and very light weight
