I’m planning to program simple taskbar manager for Linux like Tint2 but with my own ideas implemented. It’ll be some kind of mix between unity and tint.

  • Now I’m wondering what do I have to know to create such taskbar?
  • How are things like this done? Which libraries should I use?
  • What do I have to do if I want to do this with OpenGl, how hard is it?
  • Do I need to program for specific window manager (I’m using OpenBox)?

    4. No. But you should understand ICCCM and EWMH so you can play nice with them.
