Panel Applet Help

[jasonpeinko]

I am wanting to create my own panel applet specifically a new menu.

I have no idea where to start, but i have had programing experience.

You don't say what languages you know, but here are some links with examples and documentation in C.

Firstly, some documentation including a couple of Hello World examples:

Writing Gnome Applets in Gnome2 (http://www.gnome.org/projects/ORBit2/appletstutorial.html)
Panel Applet Library Reference Manual (http://library.gnome.org/devel/panel-applet/unstable/index.html)

and a reference for the panel applet object:

The PanelApplet object (http://library.gnome.org/devel/panel-applet/unstable/PanelApplet.html)
