This plugin should work on all operating systems supported by Xfce4. On Linux and FreeBSD the code
|
|
|
|
|
for reading the netload is integrated. The code for this is based on IceWM from Marko Macek
|
|
|
|
|
(http://www.icewm.org). Other operating systems such as NetBSD, OpenBSD or Sun Solaris are supported
|
|
|
|
|
by libgtop2 from the GNOME desktop (but GNOME is not required by this library). This is because I
|
|
|
|
|
have no testing machines for all this operating systems and some systems require a Client/Server
|
|
|
|
|
model, i.e. there are root permissions needed to get out system load and the Xfce4 panel is not
|
|
|
|
|
running suid root. The library made this easier to implement (it's implemented by the library and I
|
|
|
|
|
didn't have to do that).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The panel plugin is based on the sample-plugin from Benedikt Meurer and on the
|
|
|
|
|
xfce4-systemload-plugin from Riccardo Persichetti. The layout is the same as the systemload-plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
This made programming very easy and looks good, too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not planning making much improvements in the future so if you want to take over developement,
|
|
|
|
|
just drop me a note. I just programmed it because I needed it but I plan to maintain it so that it's
|
|
|
|
|
running with the most current stable release of Xfce.

If you have translations for your language, please mail me. I'll include it in the distribution!
