Move panel to screen edge: legal values are left or right
Align panel to screen geometry: legal values are top, center or bottom
• Long-side margin: distance from screen edge to long side of panel. Note: this option does not apply to auto-hidden panels: Range=0-600, Default=0

• Long-side dimension: Scale panel's long axis to percent of screen edge or dynamically scale to optimal size
• Short-side dimension in pixels: Range=96-200, Default=170
• Icon size in pixels: Range=24-48, Default=32
Change color and transparency of panel background: legal values are true, false
• Background color of panel: legal values are hex numbers; Default=#ffffff (white)
• Opacity (panel transparency): legal values are numbers 0-255 (0=transparent, 255=opaque); Default=0
Pixel-spacing between plugin widgets: Range=1-10 (Default=3)
Set panel corners to round shape: legal values are true, false
• Corner radius (higher values increase corner circularity): legal values are numbers 0-25; Default=7
Hide panel off screen unless mouseover: legal values are true, false
Reserve space at the desktop margins so maximized windows do not cover the panel: legal values are true, false
Identify panel as a dock rather than a window: legal values are true, false
Place panel above all windows, else below: legal values are true, false
The default position of the system information panel is below all windows. To view the panel when hidden behind desktop windows you can left-click the Desktop button in the main panel to iconify all windows, or use the Ctrl+Alt+Tab keyboard shortcut to select and raise the panel to the top desktop layer.
Alternatively, you can reserve space at the desktop margins so maximized windows do not cover the panel, or select autohide as the default status until a mouseover raises the panel to the top layer for viewing.

The first option of the pop-up menu enables quick access to the SysInfoBar Configuration Manager (Preferences). The second option (Refresh panel) updates the configuration settings of all plugins. This may be useful if those parameters have changed during the current session (e.g., updating the active network interface). Additional options include setting the default control center, search utility and run dialog, and updating the Puppy menu (fixmenus).
Set default control panel: supported options include fbbox-control, PupControl, setupwizard
Set default file search (file finder): supported options (if installed) include pfind, pfilesearch, searchmonkey, zfind
Set default run dialog (application launcher): supported options (if installed) include gexec, gmrun, grun, pexec, prun, PupMenu, findnrun
Show analog clock: legal values are true, false
• Clock diameter in pixels: Range 50-150; Default=100
• Mouse-click command: legal values are pclock, psync, set-time-for-puppy, xcalendar
Show digital clock: legal values are 12hr, 24hr or disable
• Text colors: legal values are hex numbers; Default=#ffffff (white)
• Text size: legal values are large, x-large, xx-large

Enable monitors: Show textual system information monitors for Date, Uptime, Distro, Kernel, CPU and Network: legal values are true, false
Monitor color: legal values are hex numbers; Default=#ffffff (white)
Monitor spacing (vertical distance in pixels between text monitors): Range=1-10; Default=1
Enable tooltips: Show additional system information in monitor tooltips; legal values are true, false
• Date monitor: displays the current date according to locale. The optional tooltip (Weather monitor) is based on wttr.in which uses the wego client for visualization and various data sources for weather forecast information. Displayed information includes query time, weather-themed icons, geographical location, atmospheric conditions, ambient temperature, wind speed, distance of visibility, and measurable precipitation. The weather update interval is 20 minutes.
• Uptime monitor: displays time since the last boot (at 60-second intervals). The optional tooltip parses system load at 2-second intervals and defines total system processes, load average, cpu and memory load for the top 5 processes, and available storage space.
• Distro monitor: displays the name and version of the current distro. The optional tooltip defines the distro build date, target (x86 or x86_64) and compatibility with other distros.
• Kernel monitor: displays the numerical version of the kernel. The optional tooltip defines the kernel architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) and build date.
• CPU monitor: displays the processor core temperature at 5-second intervals. The optional tooltip defines processor statistics such as CPU type, multi-core temperature and speed (frequency) in real time, and CPU scaling parameters.
• Network monitor: displays the active network interface at 15-second intervals. The optional tooltip defines network statistics such as firewall status, network interface, wireless connection, cumulative Rx/Tx statistics, hostname, IP address, and domain name server.
• Battery monitor: displays notebook battery charge as a percentage of full capacity, at 30-second intervals. Single and dual-battery notebooks are supported (independent monitors for 1st and 2nd batteries).
Typically, the battery slots are named BAT0 and BAT1 respectively, but may be proprietary (ex: C23A/C23B or CMB0/CMB1 in HP/Compaq PCs).
In addition to the real-time display of battery capacity, this panel plugin features charge-status symbols (● full, ▲ charging, ▼ discharging), plus intermittent low-battery alerts at 10-15% residual charge, critical alerts at 5-10% capacity, and protective auto-shutdown (wmpoweroff) when battery capacity drops below 5%. All pop-up alerts are automatically disabled when the battery is charging (AC adapter attached).
