My tint2 stretches starting from the battery to cover the other tab.

i don't know why and i don't know how to resolve it..
maybe is the battery activity?

Re: tint2 problem (Solved)

Can you post your tint2rc file so I can take a look at it?

you will find it in

/home/your user name/.config/tint2

Re: tint2 problem (Solved)

the only thing i see which is noticeably different from my own config is i have this in my # Panel section:

panel_items = LTCSB

this determines the sequence of the different panel items (Launcher, Tray, Clock, Something smile, Battery - i think)
this might be the problem? not sure though!

Re: tint2 problem (Solved)

I get this sort of behaviour occasionally and usually after I've killed/re-enabled stuff that affects the tray icons. I'm not convinced it's a problem with your tint2 config.

I know that's not very useful, but maybe another angle to look at.

Re: tint2 problem (Solved)

resolved it: the problem was the xfce battery management, i don't know why...

i have installed gnome-power-manager, added on autostart.sh and now work very well big_smile

Re: tint2 problem (Solved)

^ well, from my trusted CLI Apps website i at least learned there is a CLI app call acpitool which is a powermanager so that might be a replacement option... but not 100% sure if it does everything that Xfce-powermanager does, because i never actually look at it smile

Re: tint2 problem (Solved)

Well...it seems that setting xfce-powermanager to "always show icon" solved the problem...
