It comes with two demo extensions, an external taskbar and a child panel extension. Similar to panel applets you can add a panel extension from the panel's RMB menu with "Add->Extension->Something". The external taskbar is a simple external taskbar as requested by many people. I'm going to improve the vertical mode to make it use only as much space as required. The child panels are ... child panels. Add as many as you need. Addind a child panel with a taskbar applet is a second way to get an external taskbar for example. I'm going to improve them to work in a "corner-only" mode where they wont use the full width respective height. Panel extensions similar to panel applets can be run internal (shared libs) or via a proxy process. The child panel extension is an exception to this rule, it works internal only. This is work in progress but stable enought o be used for daily work and for mosfets kasbar to be ported to. Bye, Matthias
