If you see:

x-directory/gnome-default-handler=Nautilus.desktop
x-directory/normal=Nautilus.desktop

Change this to

x-directory/gnome-default-handler=Thunar.desktop
x-directory/normal=Thunar.desktop

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Thanks for this enhanced and promising alternative panel ADComp!
Although it took me some time to discover the new unlisted dependency (python-pyinotify) it was well worth the effort ;-)

By the way, wouldn't it be more efficient for you to maintain ADeskBar at Sourceforge.net?
It could be easier for users as well...

And a GUI feedback:
I personally find Menu (simple) more elegant (and consistent with the system wide theme) and would very much prefer the Drawer (I called it "Favorite Applications") to be consistent with it -- or perhaps a Drawer (simple) as well??

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Hi great ADcomp, I've used v. 4.3 for some times right now and I am very please with it.
There is only one lack of feature IMHO, and is the ability to associate a calendar (i.e. gsimplecal) with the clock plugin, like we can do in Tint2.

There are chances to see this feature in the future? I think that with this adeskbar wil become almost perfect!

Thank you so much for your efforts!!!

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Hello AD

I'd like to request a feature for the next version of ADeskbar.

If possible could you include a stretch option with the spacer plugin?

Thanks smile

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Is there any chance of anyone (who knows how to do it) fixing the background of the notification area? That grey really stands out in a transparent panel.

The colour of the systray matches the background colour setting:

right click on bar->preferences->advanced->background color

The systray plugin is a bit flaky, and so you may need to log out and log in again to see the effect of the change. I set my background to black to be the least intrusive.

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

I tried to download adeskbar, but ad-comp.be seems to be down. Does anyone have the latest .deb for me?
Thanks,
Tuna

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Searching around for mirrors, there is a 0.4.2 deb here.

I can't comment on the security of that site - never been there before.

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

The only place I have seen ADeskBar 0.4.3 is in MadBox 10.10
Also it has been a while since ADComp has posted

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

I thought Tint2 will end my battles with panels. And it would, if only had the option 'intellihide' (or 'windows can cover' on kde panel).
I switched to it from Tint2 mainly because of the mentioned option, for I need a 100% of screen in some cases (and I don't like autohide).

It would be nice, if we had a couple of additional options and some polishing of existent ones in the future: wider range of panel's vertical size (below 24px), clock with calendar, menu editor (or conf/xml file for menu), more applets, and maybe a couple of included themes.

And just for the record: when ADeskbar is restarted, notification area doesn't restore all running applets/apps, so they have to be restarted individually in order to appear in the panel again (but usually you don't restart the panel during the session).

Thanks for this great panel - keep making the good stuff

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

I just started using this on a new install (living room PC/media center, my husband wanted icons for a few things). It's pretty cool!

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

@nabu - have you tried changing the strut_policy setting in tint2rc?

http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Configure#Panel

One of the options (I think maybe "none") will let windows cover the tint2 panel.

Note: ** Please read before posting **

BTW if you wish to contact me, send me an e-mail instead of a PM.

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

^regarding strut policy - that determines whether tint2 restricts window movement, you can also select whether to put them above/below tint2

    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. 

another option to maximize windows that should work with everything is F11...that gives you total fullscreen with minimal effort.  You can map it to another key or even make a launcher for it with xdotool  (though I guess you'd still need to hit F11 to get back to normal)

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Thanks for the additional info.

The strut_policy option doesn't give you the ability to restore tint2 on mouse hover the screen edge - and again - I am not fan of autohide. If tint2 had a intellihide like option, than I wouldn't need another panel. Regarding F11 for full screen -  in openbox it works on native applications, but for some others it's not the case. And even if worked for all, I am still not having the panel show on mouse hover until I leave the full screen.
Right now I only miss dragging the windows between workspaces from the panel, which I had smoothly on tint2.

Thanks

Has it been pulled?

Re: ADeskBar : application launcher for openbox

Here is a mirror that still holds the 4.2 packages:

Doesn't look good, grab what you can from where you cam put it in your DropBox to keep it available.

I found:
1. AdeskBar.0.4.2.all.deb
2. adeskbar.0.4.3-all.deb
3. Live CD Developer's Guide - ADeskBar version is 0.4.3 (dev website is down, so package was included in source)
