Dreamlight Tint2 (panel configuration)

As I am currently exploring the possibilities of JWM (Joe’s window manager: http://joewing.net/projects/jwm/) which is a lightweight and a robust desktop environment I found myself tweaking things once more while creating a new JWM theme configuration which I named as Dreamlight.

One particular change I made was the removal of the default panel of JWM while replacing it with the Tint2 panel, which is one of my personal favorites these days. If you are not familiar with the Tint2 you might want to take a look at one of my earlier posts:

*A wallpaper with green colors

Transparent tint2 configure

So it is weekend again and it is time to enjoy yet another tint2 panel configuration. This time things are fully transparent. Note: The results should be like in the screenshot which was taken with Debian Wheezy a while back. As I am currently using Arch I however see some differences –  like system tray missing. This is probably due to my very new system configuration which has some erros in it  which I have not had  time to fix yet.
