Looking for a panel...

reacocard · 2008-12-23 17:09:34

I just recently switched to openbox and am looking for a panel. I'd like it to be able to display only minimized windows from all workspaces, and (optionally) a system tray. Pypanel can almost do this, but it displays all windows from other workspaces, not just the minimized ones. Is there any panel that can do what I'm looking for?

If I remember correctly, tint can do all of this, but I'm not sure it has a system tray. You can always use stalonetray if you have to.

Tint doesn't seem to have an option to display only minimized windows.

PyPanel can do this too, just add

  SHOWMINIMIZED = 1

to your config file.

Read the first post: that only works for the current workspace. Other workspaces show all windows in pypanel, which is not what I want. I want only minimized windows, but I want minimized windows from every workspace.

I looked at the pypanel source to see if I could figure out how to make it do what I want, but I couldn't figure it out. It looked to me like it should behave how I desire, yet it does not.

Hmmm, I see. I'm not sure then. Sorry

This may help.

I've seen that and investigated most of them. Sadly most of them don't even come close, Pypanel is still nearest to what I want. I think I'm going to go hack around with the pypanel source more, maybe I'll stumble on how to make it work. (The relevant area is lines 650-656 if I'm correct)

I believe that lxpanel can do everything that you want. It even has a great calendar attached to the clock if you want one of those.

Too late, I figured out how to make pypanel do what I want. The patch is here if anyone wants it: http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ … ized.patch

EDIT: and the PKGBUILD: http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ … l/PKGBUILD
