It is handy for small screens, where any window will cover all the Desktop launchers, and voids the need to navigate through the (deep) menus too.
This started some time ago and evolved based in a Micko's app, but I thought to give it an independent thread for possible feed back/problems.
The panel control GUI has a menu entry under "Desktop -> Settings". Through the GUI you can change the position and the "thickness" of the panel (from 24 to 64 pixels), the order of the buttons and make the panel always visible on top of windows or auto-hiden.
Makes fairly simple to add new application buttons in the panel and of course delete them. Even provides the option to manually edit an item in a text file (eg correct a typo without deleting and re-adding the app button), and if you have geany will open exactly on the line you want to edit.
The pet will also generate an initial panel at the top of the screen as shown in the picture.
The icon style follows your desktop icon theme and will change if you change it (as long as you use the icons from the default location)
You may also want to install Micko's desksetup.pet to easier change the layout of the ROX desktop icons or eliminate them all together
Enjoy.
Update v0.7 will not auto-quit anymore after applying some changes
Update 2 v0.8 has an uninstall script to remove every trace of the pet after removal with PPM. Also includes the options to generate backup at will.
Update 3 v0.9 is if functionally identical to v0.8 but in notebook layout so can fit in very small (640x480) screens
Update 4 v1.0 is not closing other open gtkdialogs when reseting.
Update 5 v1.1 to be used only with jwm versions2.3.0 or newer ie puppies built after 7/2015
The picture from v0.8 (lower) shows the main, single panel, interface and the dialogs to reorder/edit/delete an application in the panel (though they do not appear all together as shown
