       lxpanel.hints - Configuration hints for lxpanel plugins

Description

       This  text collects some background information for configuration of plugins available for
       lxpanel(1).

       The templates below use keywords boolean, integer, and string to denote the expected  type
       of  value for each instance.  A few exceptions below are using explicit values in order to
       clarify the common usage.  The plugins are introduced by name in  a  semi-random  fashion.
       In  practice  a mixture of different stanzas Plugin are written in the order that they are
       to produce in the actual panel on the desktop.
