Open source components we utilised:
- Tint2 - tint2 is a simple, unobtrusive and light panel for Xorg. It can be configured to include a system tray, a task list, a battery monitor and more. Its look is configurable and it only has few dependencies, making it ideal for window managers like Openbox, that do not come with a panel.

- Terminator - Multiple GNOME terminals in one window!
