The following patches are applied:

autohide.patch Implements autohide.

minus-{backgroundmanager,galaplugin}.patch Remove features that depend on the Gala window manager (leaves the panel background transparent).

no-mutter-typelib.patch Wouldn't compile until it was removed. (no need for gala == no need for mutter)

fix-for-openbox.patch Fix strutting behavior in openbox; probably a temporary patch.

@DAC324, please read the comment just before yours, which is now pinned at the top as well.

NEWS: Upstream has bumped wingpanel's api version to 3.0.

I have been able to port this patchset to the new wingpanel, however you may find that the indicators in [community] and third-party indicators, even from git, do not work with it at the moment.

This is because they are released for the 2.0 API. You may either upgrade to -git indicators (assuming upstream has already ported them to the new API), and pressure third-party developers to upgrade their dependency, OR wait for elementary OS to make official releases of their new wingpanel and indicators (and still pressure third-party developers to upgrade their dependency) which will be uploaded to [community], OR pressure me to produce a secondary package using the 2.0, legacy, API to maintain status quo (which I do not want to maintain and will delete as soon as upstream makes an official release).

An interim, and highly unrecommended workaround would be to create a 2.0 symlink of the 3.0 library. This works only as long as the indicators do not notice the difference, and there's no guarantee of that. An indicator could call a missing or reconfigured function and crash or lock itself up and/or wingpanel at any time.

EDIT: I came up with another interim, unrecommendable workaround, no better than the previous one: by reverting the commit that changes the numbering of the library version. Note that this does not actually change the library version: whatever is different is still different--it's really 3.0, just mislabeled as 2.0.

If you'd like to try this dirty hack, which will be just as vulnerable to crashing and freezing, uncomment lines 21 , 23, and 48~9 in the PKGBUILD before building.

Edit: I ran into the problem you were having while bisecting a different problem. Not sure how it doesn't cause a problem with the latest version, but a fix is on the way.

Edit again: fixed!

@SolarAquarion one of the patches is failing The one that is failing is the minus-backgroundmanager one. Wingpanel changed enough to throw off the patching process.

@PedroHLC

Sorry for the delay, there were more upstream changes than I thought.

Last night's updates got this to compile and install again, but also introduced a new bug: autohide modes do not initiate properly, so the panel may be stuck hidden or showing on startup. If this happens, toggle the dconf setting (io.elementary.desktop.wingpanel autohide) to recover the panel (autohide modes will work until the next restart).

This is caused by a change in how wingpanel handles dconf settings (upstream dropped their ad-hoc implementation an switched to GLib.Settings). I'll keep working on it.

EDIT: Fixed!
