Tint2 above windows after resize

Windowmanager: Openbox
Bar: Tint2

I'm messing around with Tint2;

Problem: When i set a screen fullscreen, it covers the Tint2 bar that i have in the bottom of the screen. I know i can set the order of the layers in de Tint2 config so it says "top". But thats not what i want. Is it possible to fix Openbox or Tint2 in such way that the windows in it's max. size stays above the Tint2 bar? Just a like the "Windows" taskbar.

Thx for the help!

Re: Tint2 above windows after resize

you probably want to set the lower margin to the width of your Tint2 bar in your ~/config/openbox/rc.conf

You don't have to use Openbox margins. Look in your tint2rc file and make sure that "strut_policy" is set to "follow_size"

Thx for that tip too! I'll have a google for strut_policy.
