tablaunch autohide problem

Hello guys,

I just configured tablaunch for me as I find it a nice launchbar.  Problem is if I hoover over it it doesn't appaer in one peace but only the tabs where I hoover over.  When it autohides, it does it partialy.  So there are some tabs that stay visible on the screen and don't autohide.  Does somebodu have/had the same problem and knows how to solve it?

Another question, does somebody knows wich (grey) icon theme is used in the screenshot on the home page of tint2: http://code.google.com/p/tint2/

Regards

Re: tablaunch autohide problem

I wonder if I can make something similar to tablaunch with dzen, I don't need the animation, a simple autohiding menu bar is OK.

That's perfectly possible. Just grab dzen from SVN and do something like:

echo '^ca(1,chromium-browser)^i(/path/to/chrome.xpm)^ca() ... ^ca(1,someotherapp)^i(/path/to/someothericon.xpm)^ca()' | dzen2 -p -e 'onstart=hide;entertitle=unhide;leavetitle=hide'

Re: tablaunch autohide problem

I tried with dzen making a launch bar.  It works, but I can't get icons on the bar, only text.  Maybe with a dingbats font with application icons (if it exists)
I wonder also if I could get a "startupnotify" with dzen, so I can see when I clicked a tab it launches the app.
Learned a lot again with dzen as the .xresources config.  I didn't even know it existed.

About tablaunch, I found the problem (not the solution), the problem is with xcompmgr.  I tried already xcompmgr-dana and xcompmgr-git, but it is still the same, as if some tabs of tablaunch freezes (they don't autohide) and in the other case some tabs don't show up.  I thought it was an imlib2 problem but it can't be as tint2 uses also imlib2 and here everything works as espected.
