The lightweight Vista Menu implementation is compatible.

I may work on this in future, but if any python programmers out there want to take this over and improve it, please email me for the latest source.

INSTALLATION

hello. i am having a problem with the kore theme. I use a single panel at the top of my screen, and when i press the button, the top part of the kore menu theme gets cut off by the panel. i was wondering if there is a way to make the menu show up a little lower.

also...
is there a way to show the menu without adding it to the panel. for instance, if i had no panels, could i press a key combo and make vista menu appear?

I got the WinXP "start" button working, but I can't switch themes, or get it to be transparent. I installed the beta .deb, and the tar.gz, and they both acted the same. Here is the terminal output:

sudo apt-get install python2.5 python-xdg python-cairo python-gconf python-xlib deskbar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python2.5 is already the newest version.
python-xdg is already the newest version.
python-cairo is already the newest version.
python-gconf is already the newest version.
python-xlib is already the newest version.
python-xlib set to manually installed.
E: Couldn't find package deskbar

Yeah, it couldn't find the package...Can you help?

Your screenshots look great! I love the one where you have the gnome logo and the transparent panel.

I believe it's deskbar-applet now.
I will release the next version of it soon where changes are applied automatically without having to restart the menu.
