I don't use IceWM myself, however, there will be a configuration file for it, & likely, there will be a line in it that sets its position, you will need to look on your system - unless someone else can help.
Hi fatmac, thanks for the advice but I already know that the configuration file exists for it but the thing is, I can't find an option that sets the taskbar anywhere but to the top(TaskBarAtTop). I should have mentioned it earlier but thought that it'd be better if I didn't so I could get more info that way. Sorry.

You could try setting it to the right, possibly, by changing it, some other WMs allow this - haven't tried myself, so make a back up copy of the file in case it doesn't work. (TaskBarAtRight)
Hey fatmac, already tried, didn't work.
I guess there's no other way.Thanks for the help though
I scoured the manual as best as I could and found no other relevant setting. I think.
And hello aus9 I'm using LXQt Panel which supports such a setting but then got into icewm because it was lighter than openbox and because of its reputed configuration abilities.
Hey aus9, sorry for not responding yesterday, I reverted back to using the default openbox wm and the LXQt panel, but I will look into conky and Joe's wm. My distribution is Arch.
Thanks for all the help though! You and fatmac...
As for wanting lightness even though using a panel, it was just a minor interest to see how far I can make my old 2006 system run fast and light while still using a good looking DE.
