Display hostname

Post by Milliways »

I would like to display the hostname on the Panel

Is there an existing applet to do this, or instructions on how to write an applet?

What you can put on a panel depends on the panel. Lxpanel appears limited to the offerings that appear when you right click the panel and choose Panel Preferences>Panel Applets . The best panel for offering everything is fbpanel with the genmon plugin. See http://lxlinux.com/fbpanel.html for details.

tint2 has an executor plugin

i think one can separately install a similar plugin for xfce4-panel.
