Advanced lxpanel configuration

[whatthefunk]

Making progress now. Im really surprised at how much you can do with such a simple light weight panel.

Is there anyway to edit the items in the system tray?

I cant seem to get rid of the wireless connection icon. I dont use wireless so dont want it. I cant find any way to disable it without loosing the whole system tray.

There only 1 network icon, it should change with the connection type.
Like on mine I'm wired so I have 2 up/down arrows.
Let me check your pic again, be back.

yours looks strange, what is the green icon with down arrow?

[whatthefunk]

I dont connect with NetworkManager...I use pppoeconf. Maybe thats what the problem is?

That would be Guake, the terminal I use.

See if you can kill network manager.
killall networkmanager

[whatthefunk]

That gets rid of it, but then network manager starts up again automatically. Weird...

i figured that would happen. go to /etc/xdg/autostart
edit network manager with leafpad as root, put a #(comment) in front of the exec line. that should stop it, just log out & back in.

Its still there... Ahhh...network manager, my arch nemesis. The only thing it seems to be good at is not going away.
