yes - vertical display isn't great :) otherwise, right now, patches accepted.
the reason ibox sucks is - i never use it. i don't minimize things. i use
virtual desktops. i group my windows by activity and use small fonts so they
all are visible and don't overlap - i just flip desktops.

well the problem is - it is an unmaintained ancient piece of code. it'd need a
fair bit of work to bring it up to speed. checkboxes for "is this active" is a
bit bad - imho. for starters.
