Foopanel is a customizable desktop panel that supports theming and plugin extension.
What sets Foopanel apart from other options like the XFCE and GNOME panels is that it is written in Python, a highly versatile and powerful interpreted language. This makes it incredibly easy to write plugins that can be added to Foopanel without the need for any particular compilation or installation steps. These plugins are simply plain text files that can be placed in the correct directory for immediate use.
Foopanel's appearance is also highly customizable, with a variety of themes available for use or the option to create a custom theme if desired. To use Foopanel, you'll need to have Python 2.3 or higher, GTK+ 2.6 or higher, and PyGTK 2.6 or higher installed.
In the latest release of Foopanel, users can enjoy a range of new features and improvements. The most notable addition is a brand new graphical configuration interface that makes it easier than ever to customize Foopanel to your needs. Plugins can also be configured individually, giving you even more control over the panel's functionality.
Other improvements in this release include the ability to install Foopanel to your system rather than needing to run it from the source directory, as well as the addition of several bundled plugins and a SolidBlue theme to get you started. Overall, Foopanel is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a flexible, powerful desktop panel that can be customized to meet their specific needs.
