tint2 16.2 released :)

git checkout 15.0, compiled, runs fine so far

So taskbar_hide_different_desktop hides icons on other desktops? Did you consider a fancier version of mini-me switcher (Such that represents windows on desktops). In that case taskbar_mode = single_desktop still has mice-switchers and it's a lot more useful.

taskbar_mode = multi_desktop
1...........................|2...........................| 1 | 2 |
taskbar_mode = single_desktop
1........................................................| 1 | 2 |

( My non-fancy try was using executor and some ascii art < only illustrating active desktop
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bront … in/deskSpy )
p.s. Idea stolen from https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/blob/mas … -with-text obviously.

I did consider it, but due to time constraints and the fact that I don't like desktop switchers, this remains on the wish list.

15.2 brings a few minor fixes. I skipped announcing 15.1, since that was relevant only for *BSD and non-x86 systems.

Wasn't there something like 'execp_tooltip_command' (can't seem to find anything like that)? And as usually, thanks for pushing tint2 forward.

stderr now becomes tooltip. I guess I forgot to document it.

For example, the following executor command shows disk usage in the panel, and the whole df output in the tooltip:

df -H | grep -v boot | grep -v shm | awk '/dev\// {printf "%s %s %s\n", $6, $2, $5}' ; df -h >&2

Ah, i knew there was something, got it working with my radio script.

o9000 · 2018-01-09 20:20:52

I recommend updating to 16.1, since it fixes some crashes from 16.0 and earlier.

o9000 · 2018-01-11 21:31:46

Thank you. For me it is not a problem at all, I was just worried that the mail got lost.

ohnonot · 2018-01-18 20:06:56

i'm having trouble with my executor plugin.
it executes every 2s and displays one line fo text that varies in length.
after a while it seems to settle on the widest text, and keep that width, resulting in huge margins for shorter text.

with execp_centered i can decide whether that margin is on the right side, or on both sides, but cannot switch the behaviour off.

i'm sure it didn't do that in earlier versions!

i feel like i'm missing something.

here's my multidesktop tint2rc that hasn't changed for many months:

community/tint2 16.1-1

there's definitely been recent updates to that package.

??? :scratchbeard: ???

o9000 · 2018-01-18 20:56:04

I know what the problem is, there is no clear solution, but I'll see what I can do. For now, changing a bit the padding or the panel size may fix it.

ohnonot · 2018-01-19 07:29:32

to clarify:
earlier, the executor plugin would adapt itself in width according to the length of the text, accordingly squeezing or stretching the taskbar that's to the left of it.
i would like that behaviour back.

i put in some execp_padding only the other day, so in addition to tint2 updates, that might also have caused the change in behaviour.

...and indeed it does!

commenting out execp_padding brings back the old behaviour.
i don't have any padding anymore, but that can be fixed with 2 separators on each side.

o9000 · 2018-01-19 07:40:12

Any chance you could test the fix from https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/693 ?

It's a matter of running:

(you need sources in apt repos)

apt-get build-dep tint2
apt install git
git clone https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2.git
cd tint2
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./tint2

ohnonot · 2018-01-19 07:53:59

^ i'll try tonight.

ohnonot · 2018-01-19 18:08:00

tint2 -v
tint2 version 16.1-15-gb70edc4

this is on archlinux, and i installed tint2-git from AUR.
i'm a little confused about the versioning, but this should be the latest master.

anyhow, my issue seems fixed now:
re-enabled some execp_padding, no more need for a separator, and the executor contracts according to output length.

i'm also trying 'time1_format = %A %d %B %H:%M', and it stays on one line.

PS:
i recently compiled tint2 (git master) for my ARM laptop, because armbian does not have a satisfactory version in the repos, and it was no problem at all.
just a big thumbs up for maintaining a beautiful & sane application!

Thanks, but I managed to trigger it again with a different font

It's a bug in pango-cairo, the libraries used by tint2 to render text. Probably a rounding error or something like that.

OK let's try again. If it still doesn't work, just throw it all away and install windows.

^ I've found the same with pango_layout_get_pixel_size(), ...pixel_extents(), etc. It's seems to be a combination of offset+gain errors. It's very close, but not 100.000%.

I have tried windows. It doesn't work particularly well.

tint2 --version
tint2 version 16.1-24-g03675b1

i tried as above, testing both clock & executor with font Roboto instead of Sans.
so far, all is good.

o9000 · 2018-01-21 07:08:35

Thanks. Fix looks good. 16.2 out.
