Sfwbar has been written for wayland so far (or more specifically for wlroots based compositors). Most of the architecture is now sufficiently abstract, that it wouldn't be hard to add x11 dock support instead of wlr-layer-shell protocol and x11 window tree instead of wlr-foreign-toplevel).
That said a lot of concepts in sfwbar are aligned with wayland (I.e. using appid for icon lookups - X11 approach of an application supplying its icon wouldn't map well to sfwbar internals).
In general, I can take a stab at adding basic x11 support, but it probably wouldn't work as well as in native x11 bars.

Thanks then I will use Sway as window manager and leave Openbox. The whole reason for my taskbar search is caused by tint2 disappearing.I will just simply replace Openbox with Sway and learn something new thanks again.

Shameless self-plug: there is also https://github.com/labwc/labwc if you end up missing openbox.
Thanks will go have a look at it any idea why would tint2 just disappear and core dump? I even rebuilt my arch setup a week ago hoping it would solve the issue but it did not.
I don't have that much experience with tint2, I suggest using their bug tracker to ask that question.
@WgpArch , The lead maintainer of tint2 https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2 has dropped support and ended tint2 and their latest version 17.0.2 is the one in arch repos (I think).
but there is someone who picked up the code in https://gitlab.com/nick87720z/tint2/ you may want to try looking there.
