tint2 tintrc file, how to theme?

staticvoid · 2008-09-06 15:37:17

Hi I've been trying to edit the ~/.config/tint/tintrc file for ages to get my tasks to stretch out all across the bottom of the panel, but they only fill up half when there is a lot of them. for example:

~/.config/tint/tintrc >V

#---------------------------------------------
# TINT CONFIG FILE
#---------------------------------------------

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL
#---------------------------------------------
panel_mode = multi_monitor
panel_monitor = 1
panel_position = bottom center
panel_size = 1260 28
panel_margin = 15 0
panel_padding = 9 3
font_shadow = 0

#---------------------------------------------
# PANEL BACKGROUND AND BORDER
#---------------------------------------------
panel_rounded = 7
panel_border_width = 1
panel_background_color = #000000 60
panel_border_color = #ffffff 18

#---------------------------------------------
# TASKS
#---------------------------------------------
task_text_centered = 1
task_width = 120
task_margin = 2
task_padding = 6
task_icon_size = 13
task_font = sans 7
task_font_color = #ffffff 70
task_active_font_color = #ffffff 85

#---------------------------------------------
# TASK BACKGROUND AND BORDER
#---------------------------------------------
task_rounded = 5
task_background_color = #ffffff 30
task_active_background_color = #ffffff 50
task_border_width = 0
task_border_color = #ffffff 18
task_active_border_color = #ffffff 70

#---------------------------------------------
# CLOCK
#---------------------------------------------
time1_format = %H:%M
time1_font = sans 8
time2_format = %A %d %B
time2_font = sans 6
clock_font_color = #ffffff 76

#---------------------------------------------
# MOUSE ACTION ON TASK
#---------------------------------------------
mouse_middle = none
mouse_right = close
mouse_scroll_up = toggle
mouse_scroll_down = iconify

if someone could help, that would be fabulous :]

Have you read the documentation? The guy who took over Tint even provides a neat PDF documenting all the features, screenshots included.

Tint2 splits up the bar into workspace segments. If you have 3 workspaces, the left third of the bar will show all tasks in workspace #1, the middle third will show all tasks in #2, and the right third will show all tasks in #3. You could have 10 tasks in workspace #1 and they would all be squeezed into the left third of the bar.

I didn't use tint2 for too long, but if you want the tasks to be spread across the whole bar, I think the only way to do that would be to reduce the number of virtual workspaces to 1.

I didn't say it was included in the package .

You can grab the PDF on the website, it's not built into the package.

[stijn@hermes ~]$ pacman -Ql tint
tint /etc/
tint /etc/xdg/
tint /etc/xdg/tint/
tint /etc/xdg/tint/tintrc
tint /usr/
tint /usr/bin/
tint /usr/bin/tint
tint /usr/share/
tint /usr/share/licenses/
tint /usr/share/licenses/tint/
tint /usr/share/licenses/tint/license.txt

Documentation is a weak point on a lot of FOSS projects, so any project that puts effort into documentation needs to be credited for that.
