💅 LXPANEL — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is lxpanel(1) — section 1 of the manual, from the LXDE crew over at http://LXDE.org. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 💖

✨ NAME ✨

lxpanel — a lightweight GTK2-based panel for the LXDE desktop. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lxpanel [ options ]

yeah that's literally it. just run it, add some options if you're feeling spicy 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page documents briefly the lxpanel command. brief queen energy 👑

lxpanel is a program that provides a panel for the desktop, usually for LXDE. it's a lightweight GTK+ 2.x based desktop panel. lowkey iconic, highkey efficient 💅

🌈 Features 🌈

  • User-friendly application menu automatically generated from .desktop files on the system. it just knows what you installed, no cap.
  • Launcher bar (small icons clicked to launch apps) 🎀
  • Task bar supporting ICCCM/EWMH urgency hint (Pidgin IM windows can flash on new incoming messages) — yes bestie, the flash is the whole point, it's giving "answer me" energy 😭
  • Notification area (system tray) ✨
  • Digital clock ⏰
  • Run dialog (type command to run, without opening a terminal) — no terminal needed, we love convenience fr fr
  • Net status icon plug-in (optional)
  • Volume control plug-in (optional)
  • lxpanelctl, an external controller lets you control lxpanel in other programs. for example, "lxpanelctl run" will show the Run dialog in lxpanel, and "lxpanelctl menu" will show the application menu. this is useful in key bindings provided by window managers. obsessed with this tbh 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). A summary of options is included below. okay here we go, the full list, no skipping 🫶

  • -h, --help — Print help on the options. when in doubt, ask for help, main character move 💖
  • -v, --version — Print the program version. flex the version number, slay ✨
  • -p NAME, --profile NAME — Set the profile to be loaded. pick your profile, it's your moment 🦋

✨ FILES ✨

  • ~/.config/lxpanel/PROFILE/ — config files directory, can be edited by preference dialog. your lil home base 💜
  • ~/.config/lxpanel/PROFILE/gtkrc — optional GTK+ 2.0 RC file to alterate appearance, can be used to create custom panel style. yes bestie, customize the look, it's fashion 🎀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

  • lxpanelctl(1) — the sidekick, the ride-or-die, the controller 🌸
