pypanel focus ?

cu3edweb · 2007-11-14 22:24:00

I have been using pypanel and I like it. My problem is if I have a window minimized when I left click on it in pypanel it raises it up from the panel but it is unfocused behind my other open apps. I then have to left click the panel again or click somewhere in the app window to have it raise to the top.

Can I set it so when I left click it is raised and focued?

Thanks

Pypanel has always done that (for me at least), which is why i switched to tint. I find it terribly annoying.

I would use tint if I could get trayer to be transparent or if I could get stalone tray to show across all desktops. I have been using pypanel mainly for the system tray. I can get stalonetray transparent but not trayer. and I can get trayer to show across all desktops but not stalonetray.

Not sure why?

Right, now I remember... you emailed me about that. Out of curiosity, would you mind telling me how the rest of your desktop is setup? Such as window manager, xorg driver (ati by chance?), your xinitrc or whatever startup file you are using and specifically what program you're using to manage the desktop (e.g. feh or nitrogen, etc.). I'm not sure that I can help much, but I can at least look into it for ya.

A couple of thoughts... I find that trayer can behave strangely if its launched over the top (or underneath) of other desktop apps, such as tint or pypanel. If you haven't already done so, perhaps try the following command in your startup script and, at the same time, comment out any other panel/desktop applications.

trayer --SetDockType true --widthtype request --edge bottom --align right --transparent true --alpha 255 &

I think I got stalonetray figured out finally.

Thanks

for the record. I tried what you said only loading trayer at startup and that didn't help. I also tried feh, nitrogen, Esetroot, and habak. all the same results.

Thanks a lot for your help though.

You can change that behavior in ~/.pypanelrc, at the bottom the actions for the buttons are defined (in taskButtonEvent()), I'm using this for button 1 (left click):

if button == 1:
    for i in range(2):
        pp.taskFocus(task)

And my apps get focus as you'd expect when clicking on them.
