bmpanel

When I use openbox' menu entry to logout, bmpanel stays in running processes and utilizes the whole cpu-time of one core.
Why this happens, how I can fix it?
P.S. bmpanel is in autostart.sh

It's a bug, yeah. I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe this weekend I'll try something else again.

Openbox

you can edit .config/openbox/rc.xml directly or make changes via the obconf package. once done, restart bmpanel and you'll see your new desktop names

ok,thanks

Actually bmpanel will detect changes, restart isn't necessary.

And I guess I have fixed this hangup bug in git, please checkout.

ATTENTION!
I have opened a bug tracker for all of my project (http://nsf.byethost8.com). If you still have issues with bmpanel, report them here: http://nsf.byethost8.com/?do=newtask&project=2.
Even if your issues were reported directly or indirectly to me. It's almost certainly that I had forgotten about them.
Anonymous task reporting is allowed until spam issues will come out.
Task notifications (via email) are disabled, because of free hosting (although RSS should work).

Could you make the right click on a taskbar item close the Window? This keeps it simple but offers extended functionality.

In this version - no.
Please wait for bmpanel2 release. In bmpanel2 you can drag task out of the panel (using new drag'n'drop system) and it closes itself.
And I'm thinking about configurable actions for mouse buttons.

Ah, very exciting news. Also, I may have missed this, but do you know yet if composite/systemtray support is going to be functional in bmpanel2?

Also, thank you for your hard work! bmpanel truly is a pleasure to use.

I think it will be as functional as in KDE plasma.

Sounds pretty good! Keep waiting for release.

I was wondering if (with or without compositing) binary transparency was possible while still using a systray.

I have a problem with bmpnael. If I use the arch theme I have no tray, but in the default theme there is a tray space. What could be the problem or what should I check? Thanks

Bmpanel tray doesn't work in composite mode. Arch theme uses composite.

Why?
Well, you can try to implement it by yourself. I've tried and I've failed. Twice.

Just discovered this panel, looks cool and I appreciate it being done by a fellow Archer. However, I wonder if there is any way to define a bunch of applications along with icons that just show up all the time and act as quick launch icons?

Check out bmpanel2 (just google for it).

At my computer (intel Atom, ZOTAC Ion), I can coment out these lines in bmpanel.c:

1276         if (P.theme->use_composite && is_element_in_theme(P.theme, 't')) {
1277                 LOG_WARNING("tray cannot be used with composite mode enabled");
1278                 theme_remove_element(P.theme, 't');
1279         }

>>

1276 #        if (P.theme->use_composite && is_element_in_theme(P.theme, 't')) {
1277 #                LOG_WARNING("tray cannot be used with composite mode enabled");
1278 #                theme_remove_element(P.theme, 't');
1279 #        }

Then I can compile the software with ./configure && make, and it works! No glitches, everything looking/working just fine... But then again, what do I know.. Maybe you have been working on this lately?

(code from git://jiss.convex.ru/bmpanel.git)

EDIT: Ok, there are glitches.. Some of the time I loose the gray line in top o the arch theme. And some times I get a black line at the top of the panel (with the archtheme), and there seems to be some other graphical issues.

I really like the look of bmpanel and I like where it is going. I do not know if this has been asked before, since I only read a few pages not the entire 11 pages worth of posts, but are there any plans for maybe widgets or something like that? I ask this question because I really dislike the gnome panel and want to replace it with bmpanel2 eventually, but if I don't think I can do so if I cannot use a main menu widget with it.

Other than that, keep up the good work this panel is fantastic.

Currenty - no plans, no ongoing work whatsoever. Probably I will never implement main menu widget by myself. But if someone wants to do so, go on.. Actually I don't mind if someone will take over the project and maintain it. But I really want that it will be the person who at least understands the bmpanel2 concepts.

So.. That's it.

Hey, if you want, PM me and we can talk. I really like bmpanel and may want to consider taking up the project, but I want you to describe what your ideas and concepts are so I know if mine would interfere or not.

http://nsfdev.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/ … -bmpanel2/

This post mostly describes all you need to know and I think talking is a waste of time, just do what you think is right and if it works for me - great, if not - I like the idea of forks too. For example there was a fork that adds vertical mode support for bmpanel2, but unfortunately I didn't want to take it in the mainstream and the author didn't want to support it by himself.. So.. It died. You see, I can't just give you the access to the repository and then you will work or not.. First - work, then - mainstream acceptance. I can help you advertising your fork and answer your questions, though..

And who knows, maybe your fork will be even better than bmpanel2 itself (even though I won't accept it). For example something like that happened with sylpheed and claws-mail. And actually it is very likely this is what bmpanel2 needs, its concepts are quite weak, maybe you'll need to change them.
