Continuing the discussion from [Add launchers to Tint 2 panel](https://forum.maboxlinux.org/t/add-launchers-to-tint-2-panel/1395):

Well I spent a lot of time reading about Tint2 but can’t get it to work as I want.  
If I use this at the Terminal \> tint2 -c /home/claudio/.config/tint2/Pinchudo-gruvbox.tint2rc

 ![terminal](https://forum.maboxlinux.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/084e16ffd21c1522a290b69414000816108b977d.png) This is what happens. both two panels apears. (see 1º image)  
I modified the original gruvbox and save it as Pinchudo-gruvbx.tint2rc but I can´t use it.  
So I thought I must kill or save it as predeterminated but I don’t know how to kill and it seems not correct to save it as predeterminated, I lost the original. I worked and worked to add launchers to the panel but it doesn’t work.  
Continue in next post

I can’t tell if I’m working in one panel or another, I want to edit the Pinchudo panel and use that one but as much as I do it always seems that I’m working in another one and I don’t manage to apply the modifications or use my panel.  
I have followed the following steps.  
1º\_ Open Panel Themes.  
2º\_ Edit Panel.  
3º\_ Panel Elements  
4º\_ Properties, here I choose launchers and buttons.  
Well whatever I do it doesn’t work, I’m probably doing it wrong, and I don’t know how to continue.  
I hope you can guide me. Thank you very much.

Use **Tint2 Panels Manager** from menu to choose which tint2 you like to use.

I did it, I reset Tint2, and did it again and I can choose the panel.

The real headache for me is not being able to add launchers, I changed gruvbox for nordic and I can’t either, I tried from the side panel and with the graphical editor. 🤷🏿

This was pending, I managed to insert the Telegram launcher in the Tint2 panel, I can’t use icons because the panel uses emoticons, now I have to find out if I can change or add emoticons to use some I like more.  
To Firefox I put something similar to a fox (although the logo is a red panda) and to Telegram I put a text golobo.  
For now I’m satisfied and the issue is solved.
