Cool cool cool.

Side note, I had no idea there was a cute little config gui. Heh.

tint2 is awesome. I'm using it now vertical on the right side. Perfect combination with plank on the left.

^ screenshot? always interested in vertical panels. difficult to make it look good.

martix · 2017-03-06 17:29:39

Here is one. The wallpaper was just changed and I did not tweaked the tint2 colors yet. This is why it looks a bit off. Otherwise it's just sooooo much better in comparison to the top or bottom position.

xfce4-panel in jessie and above has a mode setting that works great in vertical position (can't think of the name).

To get something similar in tint 2, you could start with Deco, but I'm sure you've seen that before...

^Did you try vertical tint2, ohnonot? Meanwhile I have to correct myself: tint2 on the right and plank on the left is great, but tint2 on the right and plank on the bottom (on autohide) is even better! I believe finally this might be the perfect combination for my desktop...

0.13.1 released. I fixed a couple of regressions and merged a patch adding a config option (systray_name_filter) to hide specific icons from the system tray.

Most importantly, I removed support for GNU extensions offered by glibc. Very few GNU features were used, and some of their new headers were conflicting with internal datatypes in tint2, which broke compilation with the latest glibc code. Now tint2 needs C99 + POSIX.1-2008 + the old BSD extensions. These are expected to be stable probably "forever".

o9000 · 2017-03-25 11:08:25

0.13.3 fixes an autohide regression. (I skipped announcing 0.13.2 here since it provided only BSD fixes).

o9000 · 2017-03-25 14:28:25

For the next release, probably tomorrow, I'm adding a new type of element: buttons. These are customizable launchers, with icons and/or text. They are independent from the launcher and can be placed anywhere on the panel.

The config looks like this (use "P" in panel_items, as in "push button"):

...

panel_items = PCTSL

...

#-------------------------------------
# Button 1
button = new
button_icon = calendar
button_text = Calendar
button_tooltip = Shows the calendar
button_lclick_command = zenity --calendar
button_rclick_command = 
button_mclick_command = 
button_uwheel_command = 
button_dwheel_command = 
button_font = Liberation Sans 10
button_font_color = #ffffff 100
button_padding = 3 3
button_background_id = 2
button_centered = 1
button_max_icon_size = 30

Some notes:

* button_icon can be omitted or left empty => no icon shown.
* button_text can be omitted or left empty => no text shown.
* button_tooltip can be omitted or left empty => no tooltip shown.
* button_max_icon_size can be used to control the icon size, otherwise the icon will expand to fill the button
* button_centered is only useful for vertical panels, it behaves similarly to the setting used for task buttons.

@o9000: super effort. I've got my hands full for a few days, but couldn't resist trying this :-)

Sorry about lack of imagination.

Will have more of a play later.

Based on the default tint2rc-bottom:

panel_items = PLTSC
...
button = new
button_icon = distributor-logo
button_text = menu
button_lclick_command = jgmenu_run
button_font = Liberation Sans 10
button_font_color = #ffffff 100
button_padding = 3 3
button_background_id = 6
button_centered = 1
button_max_icon_size = 30

0.14 out, the only change is support for buttons. Moving a bit faster to detect regressions sooner.

@malm:

Indeed, the long term plan is to add some configuration options for turning a normal button into:
1. a start menu button
2. a button that runs tint2conf for the current config

For the start menu button, it could take an option to configure the mode:
* "*box" mode: fake a right click on the desktop
* xfce mode: run `xfdesktop --menu`
* maybe similar for gnome, unity etc.
* jgmenu mode: open jgmenu
* builtin mode: open a simple GTK menu, similar to the old pmenu (useful if none of the above are possible)
* auto mode: figure out which mode to run based on the current WM and the presence of the jgmenu executable

malm · 2017-03-26 11:07:15

^ pure brilliance.

I love it.

tint2conf on current config is neat.

Quicker up-versioning sounds sensible too.

damo · 2017-03-26 15:22:57

Thanks for the new release.

I have noticed an old issue rearing its head again, since I installed stretch+BL, but I can't tell you exactly when it started (probably because I've only just tried changing themes). The Firefox-esr icon displayed in Tint2 changes from the FF icon, to an OB generic icon when the gtk theme or icon theme is changed. A restart of FF restores the correct icon.

Tested with 0.13 and 0.14, but the same thing happens with BL-Hydrogen in a VM running 0.11-svn.

o9000 · 2017-03-26 15:35:41

About the taskbar icon, it's not a tint2 bug. Tint2 can only show the icon given by Openbox or Firefox. I cannot do anything about it.

As for CLI options, tint2 handles the optional -c config_file to load a config file from a non-default location, -v or --version, and -h or --help. Maybe I should add these to help and the man page. There are indeed a few other CLI options, and some environment variables that modify the behavior, but these are not supposed to be public (they are either used for debugging, or interacting with tint2conf) and not supported --- so not documented. There is some info on this page though.

Yes, I knew you said it wasn't a Tint2 bug, but I was hoping if anyone knew of a workaround, or a direction they could point me in.

o9000 · 2017-03-26 15:56:22

IMHO your best bet would be to file a bug directly at bugzilla.mozilla.org and provide detailed instructions to help them reproduce it. Tell them it doesn't happen only on BL but also on Ubuntu (I have just reproduced it with firefox-52.0.1esr.tar.bz2). I am running XFCE, not Openbox. It's definitely a Firefox bug.
