getting rid of the little "main menu" button on the bottom left[SOLVED

Hi everyone,

Just recently updated to lithium, and so far the experience has been quite good. I noticed a lot of improvements.

There is a little main button menu on the bottom left, that almost reminds of Microsoft Windows.

In my very humble opinion, I feel it's unnecessary. I mean, I can just right click and the little button is just redundant.

So, how do I get rid of it?

I believe that's a tint2 launcher. You can remove the launcher from the tint2 "panel_items =" . Should be a menu entry to edit tint2rc.

I went into my tin3rc and deleted "button = new
button_icon = start-here-bunsenlabs
button_text =
button_tooltip = Main Menu
button_lclick_command = jgmenu_run
button_rclick_command =
button_mclick_command =
button_uwheel_command =
button_dwheel_command =
button_font_color = #ffffff 100
button_padding = 2 2
button_background_id = 5
button_centered = 1
button_max_icon_size = 28"

But then my power button got shifted to the far right corner ...

I forgot there are two buttons on the default tint2 panel.

You need to make two changes:

In the default tint2rc change:

panel_items = PTSCP

to

panel_items = TSCP

That will remove the first button on the panel (the menu).

Since tint2 reads the configuration file top to bottom, you also need to comment out (or delete like you have already done) the first button configuration (jgmenu).

You should then have a tint2 panel with the power button on the right end; which is what you're after, correct?
