Did a 1st public alpha build:

http://www.steamdraw.homepage.t-online.de/PanelApp.lha

Will search for "New_Panel_1.prefs" in "PROGDIR:" so you might want to copy that from sys:prefs/Ambient/Panels.

Programs can be launched, dragbar, spacer, separator and subpanel classes are also included. subpanel will default to sys:tools/format.info for the time being.

And just to be clear it is an alpha release, so a lot of things will not work or cause issues.
