The first beta release of ZevenOS 5.0, an Ubuntu-based distribution with a BeOS-like user interface, is ready for testing: " ZevenOS used the deskbar for ages to create a slick and nice looking tasklist and main menu panel. With the current struggle in development on ZevenOS I decided to give the deskbar mode in the Xfce pane a go and I really have to say I am impressed. It works almost flawlessly. There are still some glitches like not being able to setup the panel to move under windows (so it doesn't behave like a panel but more like the deskbar used to) and some confusing configuration settings but the Xfce panel brings in the advantage of plug-ins and you can configure a lot with them. So I decided for the 5.0 release of ZevenOS to simply ship the Xfce panel. Currently I am not sure if I would stop development of the deskbar completely or if we implement a tasklist on our own.
