Name

       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.   Currently  boolean  supports only 0 and 1 values.  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.
