PyPanel works with WindowMaker and EWMH compliant WMs (Kahakai, Openbox, PekWM, FVWM, etc). PyPanel is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.

Here are some key features of "PyPanel":
Transparency with shading/tinting
Panel dimensions, location and layout
Font type and colors with Xft support
Button events/actions
Clock and workspace name display
System Tray (Notification Area)
Autohiding


Requirements:

What's New in This Release:
Now reading config from /etc/pypanelrc first if it exists
New option to show only minimized/iconified apps (SHOWMINIMIZED)
New option to show a border around the panel (SHOWBORDER)
New option to set the minimized panel size (HIDDEN_SIZE)
Added a panelButtonEvent() function to handle button events on an empty panel
Removed legacy WindowMaker support, it's now EWMH capable
Fixed setup.py to gather correct compile/link arguments
Added a workaround for failing image loaders in Imlib2 v1.2.0 and up
