Tint2 alternatives? (gitlab.com)

So I've been using tint2 as my taskbar in openbox for years, but with tint2 basically having released its final release (17.0.2) years ago, I'm in the market for a different taskbar.

I've used lxpanel and xfce4's panel in the past, but they have a different setup and I really just need something that does what tint2 does without too much bs around it.

Something which stays out of the way and allows me to click through it for openbox' right-click menu.

Anyone have any suggestions for something simple like tint2 which is actually maintained and which works on a WM instead of relying on a DE?

Why do you need something different?

It's the only one I know of to do things the way it does. I'm looking for alternatives to broaden my horizon just in case it ends up one day no longer wanting to run.
