Bmpanel - ArchWiki

# Bmpanel

BMPanel (BitMap Panel) is a lightweight, NETWM compliant panel for X11 Window System, which contains a desktop switcher, taskbar, system tray and clock. The application is inspired by simplicity of fspanel. BMPanel has a modern look and feel, while keeping itself tiny and small.

## Installation

BMPanel is available as bmpanel2AUR in the AUR. If you prefer the legacy version not mantained anymore install bmpanelAUR.

## Themes

BMPanel2 themes are available in the bmpanel2-themesAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror] package. Further information about available themes can be found here. Here you can find more themes. Extract them to `~/.local/share/bmpanel2/themes` (respectively `~/.bmpanel/themes` for bmpanel legacy). Altering design of the theme can be done by adapting the `~/.local/share/bmpanel2/themes/theme name/theme` file (respectively `~/.bmpanel/themes/theme name/theme`). More information on this can be found here.

## Starting bmpanel

To start BMPanel automatically after the login you need to write this to your `~/.xinitrc` file:
