Re: Tint2 Help

I'm thinking it would be easier to just remove commented variables from my conkyrc instead of trying to find a tint2rc with all of them.
Pus, a whopping kilobyte of space saved on my HDD for... well... I'm sure they add up

I don't think you can find a better config than the one included with tint2 or on the wiki.

It's just that Tint2's stock config isn't my cup of ayahuasca... (wouldn't match my box or my openbox)

Re: Tint2 Help

I meant you won't find a more complete config than the one on the wiki. Of course you can tweak it. If you want ideas, look here:

Re: Tint2 Help

Has anyone been able to create a launcher for thunar in the current tint2? I have tried and tried and have been unsuccessful.

The launchers are supposed to point to a .desktop file however, on either of my machines, when I point tint2 to the Thunar.desktop file, it doesn't load the launcher.

Re: Tint2 Help

a sample launcher section. works here :

# Launcher
launcher_padding = 8 4 4
launcher_background_id = 0
launcher_icon_size = 24
# Specify an icon theme names with launcher_icon_theme (e.g. oxygen, Tango)
launcher_icon_theme = AwOken
# Each launcher_item_app must be a full path to a .desktop file
launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/xfce4-file-manager.desktop
launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/geany.desktop
launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/icedove.desktop
launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop

check 'ls -l /usr/share/applications' to see all applications
thunar file is 'xfce4-file-manager.desktop'

Thanks.
Unfortunately, I don't have xfce4-file-manager.desktop. But, I did just find that Thunar-folder-handler.desktop does work in tint2. I swear I tried that one before...

Re: Tint2 Help

this is a bit late, so you may not need it, but you can make your own .desktop file, just make a text file with the .desktop extension...anything that you can run in the shell, you can run after the "exec" line and you can put whatever icon path you want in there as well.
here's a sample I made to have a button call a custom script:

Name=maximize
Exec=/home/USR/maximize.sh
Icon=/home/USR/images/maximize.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Type=Application

to open it in a text editor, just type:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/thunar.desktop

then write something like this

Name=Thunar
Exec=thunar
Icon=home [or whatever png file you want]
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Type=Application

hit save, then in your tint2rc add the new link to thunar.desktop
done.

Re: Tint2 Help

Can anyone please explain me how to remove the second string in "clock" section, with date? I tried to edit tint2rc, here is the "clock":

# Clock
time1_format = %H:%M
time1_font = URW Gothic L Semi-Bold 11
clock_font_color = #FFFFFF 100
clock_tooltip = %B, %d, %A
clock_padding = 6 0
clock_background_id = 0

but it is shown anyway:

Why?
And the second question: when i just installed crunchbang, i could open a calendar by left-click on clock. But while i edited config file, this feature is gone. How can i come it back?
Thank you for attention, and pardon for my bad French )

Re: Tint2 Help

Did you restart tint2? You have to do that in order for tint2 to recognise changes made to its config file.

In order to open an application, place this in your tint2rc:

clock_lclick_command = <command>
clock_rclick_command = <command>

Let's do it and don't screw it.

But still there's a weird story with the second string of clock. It doesn't want to disappear!

Re: Tint2 Help

[Hey, i found a solution. I downloaded fresh tintwizard from here: http://code.google.com/p/tintwizard/
and it has some useful checkboxes:

so, now clock looks like i want it to. But i still don't know why , because

# Clock
time1_format = %H:%M
time1_font = URW Gothic L Semi-Bold 11
clock_font_color = #FFFFFF 100
clock_tooltip = 
clock_padding = 6 0
clock_background_id = 0
clock_lclick_command = gsimplecal
time1_timezone = 
time2_timezone = 
clock_tooltip_timezone =

You're welcome!

Two things:

1. if it works; don't fix it!
2. if it works, don't question it!
- 2.a UNLESS you make a backup: as it just might stop working!

Re: Tint2 Help

just a guess, but the problem might have been a line somewhere in the config file with time2_format = ...
While by default, the tint2 config file groups all the settings together, it's really the specific tags that matter, not the placement...so a line that said time2_format = .... anywhere in the file would have the same effect. Just a guess of course. Couldn't tell without seeing the full messed up cfg file....then again you seem to have fixed it, so good for you.

Re: Tint2 Help

hello there,
i've replaced my tint2-config with the one provided here:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/109100/#p109100
which is really very nice, me thinks.

however, my problem is that when i maximize a window/browser/programm it overlapps the tint2-bar completely and fills the complete screen.
but i want my tint2-bar always to be present.
hmm... how can i adjust that?

thanks in advance!

Pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 3 tbs water, 1-2 tsp of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 apple, few grains of salt
Preheat your pan or griddle to about medium heat. Slowly combine the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, work in sliced apple. Each pancake should take about a minute or so on each side. Serve with plum jam, maple syrup, or powdered sugar

Another solution is editing the tint2rc file
under panel you should find these two options:
(quoted from here http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Configure)

panel_layer = bottom,normal,top : Puts tint2 into the bottom/normal/top layer. Default is the bottom layer, but for real transparency normal or top layer may be a nice alternative.
strut_policy = follow_size/minimum/none : STRUTs are used by the window manager to decide the size of maximized windows. Should the 'maximized windows' follow tint2 size (follow_size) or use the minimum size (minimum), or use the screen size (none). minimum option is interresting when used with autohide_height parameter.

so if you just want to make the panel sit there, with no windows overlapping it, you can set it to:

panel_layer = top
strut_policy = follow_size

The other options can be nice if you use autohide, but otherwise are probably not worth it.

Re: Tint2 Help

Hey guys. Quite enjoying #!. I like the minimalist concept behind it.

However I'm having issues with tint2 - it appears to either die or autohide on login. I suspect it's not autohiding due to the config set to "autohide = 0", but I'm not sure what the issue could be. I can run it and console it open, but it never seems to stay for very long.

I'm running dual monitors, if that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Tint2 Help

@Historic just a guess, because we really don't have much info to go on:
in your autostart.sh - where it says "tint2" is there an & after it? -if not, there should be.

tint2 &

if you run tint2 from console, it will only stay running as long as your console is open, unless you start it with "tint2 &"
if you run it from alt-f2, it shouldn't matter...
hope that works!
