tint2 without windows list, just system tray

exutable · 2010-02-28 19:42:12

Hey guys,

Is it possible to configure tint2 to be without a windows list but with a system tray? or do I have to edit the source code?

Similar to this: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/_media/ … =900&h=562 although it seems he might have a windows list but no windows open.

Thanks,

Dane

Hi,

just remove the sections taskbar and tasks.

If you're using Openbox, you could just run docker instead, as that's exactly what it does.

you can also use stalonetray or trayer

I really like tint2 and I have it working without the windows list now but how do I prevent it from using the bottom few pixels of the screen and just let it be in the foreground over existing windows

For the bottom few pixels look here http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Configure for margin and padding.
And the foreground behavior has to be done by your window manager or desktop environment.

In openbox e.g. it would be done by a per app configuration.
Which DE/WM do you use?

with latest version you can use
panel_layer = top

and perhaps play with
strut_policy = none

thil77: Sorry none of those worked.

Andrwe: I'm using openbox

Then try to add this to your .config/openbox/rc.xml to the <applications>-section:

    <application name="tint2">
      <layer>above</layer>
    </application>

Edit:
I've tested the option mentioned by thil77 and for me it worked to.
I've just added panel_layer = top to both of my tint2.
