Hey guys, Today we’re going to get rid of gnome-panel and replace it with something much better looking…
Tint2 is a a fully customizable taskbar that can add some more eyecandy to your linux desktop. It features custom color and transparency on fonts, icons, borders and background. It also has a clock you can setup.
To get it, download it from this link. Save it to your desktop and open up a terminal. Type in the following commands to extract and install tint2 (your folders may be different if you downloaded a different version)
cd Desktop/ tar -xvf tint2-0.7-beta1.tar.gz cd tint2-0.7-beta1.tar.gz/ cd src/ make sudo make install
After the install, I tried to run it in my terminal and got this error…
tint2: error while loading shared libraries: libImlib2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This can be fixed by installing the libimlib2 library. You can look for it in synaptic or type
sudo apt-get install libimlib2
