Hi, |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Currently I am playing aroung with fluxbox. The previously missing |
| 45 |
feature of a keyboard useable applikation menu is nearly "fixed" :) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I also installed fbpanel -- what I miss are the two mini-graphs of |
| 48 |
the IceWM-Taskbar, which shows CPU load and net traffic throughput. |
| 49 |
Can I get this anywhere in a way that it is incorparated into |
| 50 |
fbpanel? |
