^Thanks again!
Version number: can I suggest picom_11.2-0.1? (If debian revision under 1 works.)
Because when Debian package it, their first version could well be 11.2-1 so your 11.2-1.1 would be higher.
Alternatively, use a tilde to indicate a lower version: 11.2-1~hhh1 or so.

Good catch! Done...

OK, I see those errors too. Weird indeed that it works fine with v10.2. Our default picom.conf has everything under the BACKEND and GLX BACKEND sections commented out...

The battery icon is fine using xfce4-panel but black in lxpanel. The dev is anti other panels, I guess.

Hacking. Opened the square images in GIMP and made them circles. Not perfect, but way better...

I think the "systray" in xfce4-panel is in fact something different. Something new-fangled that the big boys have moved on to, and the dev does seem to care rather less about the traditional systray now. I'll post the link if I find it.

Perhaps have xrender as a sane default, as glx may require a sane graphics driver.

No need to find the link, it is what it is unless we continue to hack it. The funny thing is that the icon for xfce4-battery-plugin is frigging huge and can't be resized to match the systray, so how they think that's acceptable is beyond me. Also, why the redundancy? The plugin doesn't offer any features that enabling the systray icon does, does it?

It just stinks that there isn't another applet that sends notifications AND let's you open power manager preferences somehow. Those are solid features (right-click systray icon>Preferences>xfce4-power-manager-settings opens).

The thing is, xfce4-panel is really good, can be configured via its GUI and has lots of useful plugins that can be installed individually or all at once ( xfce4-goodies). It looks great in horizontal mode and can be made to look very nice in deskbar mode. Is tint2 such a staple of #!/BL that we can't propose not using it on our default desktop?

mate-power-manager.

Works the same way as xfce4-power-manager. Dependencies look about the same.

johnraff · 2024-08-23 02:34:51

^m-p-m has come up in the past, eg: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 12#p126112
If x-p-m turns out to be unfixable we could consider shifting to m-p-m for sure.

johnraff wrote:

We considered m-p-m a while ago when various things came up with x-p-m, and at the time my overall impression was: a bit heavier in both dependencies and system load, and slightly fewer features.
But those aren't huge differences ...

I'm sold. Just have to hunt down and replace the icon(s).

-edit- The battery icons get replaced with nice icons if I install Humanity, so that should make it easy to find the icon names/paths and replace them.

Well, that was easy...

Again, not perfect, but a lot better. Something to work with, at least. Nice reminder, @PackRat!

At least it's just hacking an icon theme, or switching themes, and not patching a power-manager deb with every package upgrade.

Has a certain appeal, yes.

hhh · 2024-08-23 17:00:37

This I don't understand at all...

xfce4-power-manager/mate-power-manager allow backlight notifications?

So /usr/share/mate-power-manager/icons/hicolor/actions and /status contains the default icons for the applet. But mate-notification-daemon is not installed, the dependency is satisfied by xfce4-notifyd

?!!???

PackRat · 2024-08-23 17:10:20

Is xfce4-notifyd a dependency of xfce4-power-manager?

Any notification daemon should work. I know that dunst works with mate-power-manager. If you decide to go with mate-power-manager, you could swap out xfce4-notifyd for mate-notification-daemon. I'm not sure how much of the mate desktop that will bring in.

xfce4-notifyd is not needed by xfce4-power-manager. mate-power-manager requires mate-notification-daemon OR 14 other options, including xfce4-notifyd (scroll down to mate-notification-daemon and see the note beneath)...

https://packages.debian.org/sid/mate-power-manager

I tested with mate-notification daemon and it does the same thing, splits brightness into it's own notification window (same size, location, icon and slider as in my screenshot).
