Title: why was tint2 replaced with fbpanel?
Post by: jeffreyC on August 25, 2016, 11:33:44 PM

I know it is not hard to install any other choice, but wonder why this was chosen?

We switched from Y to Z because Z has these features that Y does not.

It's quite simple: fbpanel provides "normal" applications menu and work better withsome applications run into the taskbar.
