So, I have revamped / installed the new theming system into the property dialogs of all the Orbitiny panel’s applets / plugins. This means regardless whether it is the properties of the Application Menu, Drawer, Output Monitor etc, it will look uniform and the same (see this post for screenshots) as their theming is no …
So, I am working on several different themes while I am also building a good theming infrastructure which is a combination of a theme .conf file as well as a CSS file and due the sheer amount of testing and experimentation I need to do, it takes a considerable amount of time but the good …

In this screenshot, I’ve removed all of the widgets except for the application menu for better observance …
Release notes: BugFix: Fixed “Run as Root” not working when invoking a shell script when the option is set from Orbitiny Panel’s applets (Launcher, Drawer, Quick Launch etc) New: Included and incorporated xdotool with Orbitiny.
