[SOLVED] Borders on tint2, even when I have disabled it. (Openbox)

I have a problem with Openbox and tint2. I have added tint2 to my rc.xml file, where I specific tells it not to skin tint2. But somehow on a reboot it get skinned again. Even though I have set decor to yes or no. So I need to reconfigure for the setting to apply properly.

Anyone else experienced a similar problem?

I never got the tint2 package to work properly for some reason.  Try this tint: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17082
This one seemed to work fine for me - though I'm sure there must be an actual solution, if you get impatient give it a try.

can you post a screenshot of your tint2, because i'm not sure to understand the problem.

If you allow Openbox to look at it like just any other app, it will decorate it...

This is what I have in my rc.xml:

<application name="tint">
      <desktop>all</desktop>
      <skip_pager>yes</skip_pager>
      <skip_taskbar>yes</skip_taskbar>
      <decor>no</decor>
</application>

If you have problems with copy/pasting this into your rc.mxl, just type it over, I copied this from a Windows box (rc.xml opened in a text editor). Just to make sure you don't get no Windows-style end of lines .

Did you check your tintrc to make sure you don't have a border set in there?  Actually, maybe you should post your tintrc.

Actually, I changed to Enlightenment. Work a lot better. Though I only get 300fps with glxgears.

Why'd you give up?  Don't let it beat you.  Just for kicks you should look at your tintrc:

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL BACKGROUND AND BORDER
#---------------------------------------------
panel_rounded = 9
panel_border_width = 2
panel_background_color = #000000 0
panel_border_color = #000000 0

note that at the end of my border color string I have a 0, which means the border won't show up.

If I choose to use Openbox once again, I will use your suggestion above. But currently I enjoy E17.
