Talika progress

Finaly, Got some time from my tight working schedule. Just working on making talika better and more usable.

Pinning of applications is improved, including drag and drop pinning. Also launcher and running task seprator is gone, they can be mixed. One can assign custom icons to pinned launchers and icons are now bigger (see the screenshot).

Changes are still in alpha and not ready to release. Those who want to test new features can build from svn.

Talika vs Windows 7 taskbar

Is talika a windows 7 taskbar clone?
* Oh no! The project was started  before(Jan 2008) windows 7 was not available and xfce-desktop already has a iconbox applet.

But what about windows previews and pin to panel?
* They are idea's of talika fans/users. Windows previews are inspired from kde4 interactive previews (may be they are inspired from windows 7). And pin to panel from docbarx.

I had never used Windows 7 even for a single minute (I use windows in office but that is XP Pro).

Hate it if it is unusable for you, not just for you think it is a win 7 taskbar clone.

Talika - A icon only window list for gnome panel

  Talika is a gnome panel applet that manages the list of opened windows with icons only. This is my second GTK+ project.

Someone will ask why you are developing this when similar apps ??X etc. exists ?

* Oh! sorry i was not able to find any such applet at that time so i started to develop my own. And thanks for advice. I think it is very useful to me. May be for you !

Two days back I released 0.48 version of Talika. It addes preview, pin to panel features to it. But of-course It didn't crash after whole day of use.

I promise next versions will include improvement of existing features and your ideas too.
