Here are two screenshots showing two panel configurations. You can either use it as a menu bar at the top of the screen or a dock. Here is a menu bar configuration. Pay attention to the right-hand side of the panel. I paid special attention to turn those applets into indicator icons. Here is a …

Patience is a virtue and it takes time and effort to completely revamp/redesign a 9-year old code into something truly beautiful and this latest screenshot demonstrates the latest achievements in Orbitiny’s acrylic world along with two panels running side-by-side showcasing the major improvements in panel’s vertical orientation.

I really like the way this looks. The color tone of the dark/translucent glossy/glassy areas in the content area can easily be changed to any …
