AFX-taskbar is an adaptation of Todd Jeffreys' taskbar-1.0.2/1.0.3 

Compiled with GCC-3.3.5 and GLIBC-2.3.4
with the following configuration flags:
--prefix=/usr --with-gnu-ld --with-xft --with-imlib --with-x
or with:
--prefix=/usr --with-gnu-ld --with-x --without-xft --without-imlib
for a minimal size and dependencies.

I've made the following changes:

1.To change color of menu  highlight from Blue to Dark Gray 
  changed line 160 of src/menuhandler.c :
  ...PALETTE_MENU_BLUE  >> PALETTE_DARK_GRAY

2. Change line 1071 of taskbar.c :
  ...pFont->GetWidth(pFont,"Start",5) + 5 * OFFSET;
>>
  ...pFont->GetWidth(pFont,"Menu",4) + 4 * OFFSET;

3. Change line 538 of taskbar.c 
  ...pFont->Render(pFont,mainWindow,2 ....... shift,"Start",5);

  ...pFont->Render(pFont,mainWindow,2 ....... shift,"Menu",4);

4. To set config file as /etc/taskbar instead of ~/.taskbar,
   added this after line 268 of src/taskbar.c:
  /* Amigo overrides the $HOME variable */
strcpy(fName,"/etc/taskbar");     (....offset is 4 lines)

Note: The configuration file must still be manually copied to /etc, or
to one's $HOME directory if step 4 is not used.

  For a less generic look 'Menu' could be changed to 'Amigo' 
  or 'Linux' and change like this instead of as above:
2. Change line 1071 of taskbar.c to:
  ...pFont->GetWidth(pFont,"Amigo",5) + 5 * OFFSET;

3. Change line 538 of taskbar.c 
  ...pFont->Render(pFont,mainWindow,2 ....... shift,"Start",5);
>>
  ...pFont->Render(pFont,mainWindow,2 ....... shift,"Amigo",5);
