I forgot to say I really APPRECIATE everyone working on this project and if I
had the coding talent, or money I'd offer one or the other.
I just want it clear that I believe in this and I truly thank you for it and I
hope others out there still believe in and enjoy Tint2 and I hope this project
still has some worth and can merit the time of the developers, when free to
keep it going.
THANK YOU for such a great application! :)
CHEERS

Hi and thanks for the nice words!
I have only contributed a very small amount of code to tint2 - the merits go to
the rest of the awesome team that made tint2 happen.
But I wanted to reply with regard to the lack of new releases.
As you said, the current SVN version of tint2 works well. The problem is that
we do not have a configuration GUI, and it is needed for the next release
because the previous releases had one. But writing the new GUI requires quite a
lot of time and none of us managed to get it done yet :(

Configuration GUI?
You mean instead of writing by hand your own configuration file;
~/.config/tint2/tint2rc ?
You're trying to make a GUI Front End for it?
THANKS

Honestly, I could live without the configuration GUI for another release or two
as long as the current enhancements are packaged and made available officially.
One day I decided to play and build my own Linux environment from
Ubuntu-minimal in a 1GB HDD VM. I did it, with a graphical server, openbox and
tint2 but reading some of the proposals and comments in here I realized I could
have much more from tint2 from simply installing a new version.
Obviously, I couldn't get the developer tools so I can build the latest tint2
version as disk space was very close to its limit, by merely 20-30MB. It
would've been also easier if I just installed the latest SVN build from
Ubuntu's repository but that was it. Tint2 is obviously not meant for the faint
of heart, so power users could get tintwizard [1] if they don't want to do
everything manually.
