If you piddle with your settings you can get kind of an uber-panel going. That's how I set mine up (yeah I'm posting mine again):



There are a few downsides: I can only have three things in my tray at once (which isn't usually a problem since Pidgin/GMPC/Wicd/Deluge are all that ever goes there and I almost never have Wicd open), the taskbar is pretty limited in size and gets hard to see when there's more than about five things open, but overall it runs smooth as silk.

using visibility as taskbar you would have more free space because only show a icon per window, the name only show when mouse is over icon:

Nice! Is that a gnome panel applet or something for openbox?

For gnome, another option is using the "window selector" applet, it displays a single icon (of the focused window's icon) and provides a drop down of all windows as you would see in the window list applet.

you're right, openbox

[OUTDATED! You don't need a script to show MoC info in Conky. See Karthik's post at #! CrunchBang Linux Forums to see how it can be done natively.]

As an addition to all my wonkie-conkies (but they're not all as wonky as this one!) I made today one for MOC (or mocp in the command line jargon), based on a script by Santix at Naslu.

There's one setback: I would like to make long titles and artist names scroll nicely, but I haven't been able to make it work in a satisfying manner. Is there a way I could make the lines scroll only when they exceed a certain length, say sixty characters? This does not actually work well even in the default Conky setup that comes with the original standard package, so I presume it's hard to establish.

Here are the last lines of my "conkymocp" (conkyrc) file:

TEXT
${color3}$hr
${font Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Bold:size=14}Music On Console $font
$hr
${color1}${scroll 60 ${exec ~/.scripts/mocconky-1.sh} ${color3}}
${color1}${scroll 60 ${exec ~/.scripts/mocconky-2.sh} ${color3}}
${color1}${scroll 60 ${exec ~/.scripts/mocconky-3.sh} ${color3}}
$hr

Well, the artist should read "luigi nono" and the title line "Leggio IV [from Lontananza nostalgica utopica futura]" (yet, this is the line that should scroll and it does, too, so no problem with that) and the "Time" line's output should be "02:56 of 09:44"...

Edizione II: As you can see in the right-hand screenshot, I decided to use "fold -sw40" instead of "scroll 60". OK, OK, I know this has a certain degree of redundancy (2 x weather, 2 x MPD info)... but what's wrong with redundancy, anyway?

Édition III: So I think this is the better way:

TEXT
${color3}$hr
${font Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Bold:size=14}Music On Console $font
$hr
${color1}${fold -sw40 ${exec ~/.scripts/mocconky-1.sh} ${color3}}
${color1}${fold -sw40 ${exec ~/.scripts/mocconky-2.sh} ${color3}}
${color1}${fold -sw40 ${exec ~/.scripts/mocconky-3.sh} ${color3}}
$hr
