[SOLVED] Openbox + Tint2 + Wierd Maximize (Bug?)

Hey guys!

So I reinstalled Arch, and decided to go with Openbox. Working well, but it's gone slightly odd after installing Tint2. Here is a screenshot: http://oi61.tinypic.com/rsqxp4.jpg

I can't move the window (hold ALT+drag), I can't resize it. I can minimize it though. This happens when I maximize any window, but Firefox, for example, starts maximized so I can't move it. 'Nuff said, as it is even awkward writing this post in this small window!

Thanks,

Will

UPDATE: I killed tint2, and the Firefox window maximized to full almost instantly, so it is a problem with tint2.

Here is my tint2 configuration:

# Tint2 config file

bat1_font = Sans 12
bat2_font = Sans 12
battery_font_color = #FFFFFF 100
battery_padding = 0 0
battery_background_id = 0

# End of config

By reading around some places I think it could be something to do with "strut_policy"

And this is my first time using Openbox on a fresh Arch install, so yeah, I think I'm a noob again

Re: [SOLVED] Openbox + Tint2 + Wierd Maximize (Bug?)

Why is panel_size 0 30? If you change 'panel_position = top left horizontal' to 'panel_position = top right horizontal', windows will probably appear on the left side. I would change panel_size. Just comment strut_policy out to find out, I do not have it at all. Works as expected.

Thank you!

I reset my config, and followed most of what you said. I reenabled strut_policy to follow size as I like windows to bump it. Works all well now! Thanks!
