Topic: tint2 - how to get rid of task list?

Hey all. I'm using two instances of tint2, so that i can fit a conky setup between the two.
One has a task list, the other has a sys tray and clock.
The problem is, the one with the sys tray and clock still has a task list beside it. even if i set the values to 0, there is still a black space beside the sys bar (i can see it because i have the entire thing in a border).

Any idea how to properly disable the task list?

just call me...

Re: tint2 - how to get rid of task list?

Could you post the config for the tint2 without the tasklist? Also a screenshot would be nice.

# End of config

looks like this : (see bottom right, while i've made the icons 0 etc, it still reacts to tooltip display, and takes up space. If i have a lot of windows, it makes a noticeable gap)

Re: tint2 - how to get rid of task list?

Have you tried commenting out the entire Taskbar, Tasks, and Task Icons sections?

Re: tint2 - how to get rid of task list?

What about if you change the panel padding and/or margins?

Re: tint2 - how to get rid of task list?

i can get it to hide the taskbar portion, but that doesn't help because the sys tray will grow and shrink depending on what i have open. I'm going to try starting from a clean config in tint2wizard, seeing if that helps (because i could've fudged some other setting lol
