How to write plugins for LXPanel

[Axel FILMORE]

Hi,

this may be helpful :
http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxde/lxpanel;a=blob;f=src/plugins/space.c;h=2b75e24b6eb8da530e02b1e6dd0ed9973b68f256;hb=HEAD

It's the space plugin, it is quite simple :
/* Plugin descriptor. */
PluginClass space_plugin_class = {

     PLUGINCLASS_VERSIONING,

     type : "space",
     name : N_("Spacer"),
     version: "1.0",
     description : N_("Allocate space"),

     /* Stretch is available but not default for this plugin. */
     expand_available : TRUE,

     constructor : space_constructor,
     destructor  : space_destructor,
     config : space_configure,
     save : space_save_configuration
};


In the plugin class, you see that four functions are defined :
A constructor, a destructor, a configuration function
(when the panel geometry changes I think)
and a save function.

Regards.
