Installation

You can either use plainInstaller, a script that will download, compile and install everything automatically, or install plainPanel only.

1. git clone https://github.com/plainDE/plainPanel && cd plainPanel
2. qmake
3. make
4. sudo mkdir /usr/share/plainDE && sudo cp ./plainPanel /usr/share/plainDE/
5. sudo cp readme-icon.png /usr/share/plainDE/menuIcon.png

Now add plainPanel to OpenBox/FluxBox/... autostart and enjoy!

Customizing

You can either edit ~/.config/plainDE/config.json manually or use plainControlCenter.
