The Tint2 Configuration Thread!

[BslBryan]

Many Linux users do not bother with huge desktop environments, but choose instead to just use a window manager. These window managers do not compile lists of programs, features, or wizards. You, for the most part, have to research and do everything yourself. I have been a long time fan of Openbox on top of Ubuntu minimal. For quite some time pypanel, a popular panel, has been out of the repos, but I found a way to make it work and I was happy. But now I think it's time that we showcase another great panel, tint2. :-) So, post your tint2rc and a screenshot. Woot!

Minus the black lines that seem to have appeared, silly scrot.

What process do you have to run to get the volume controller into the panel? If it was preconfigured, if you could look into your autostart.sh?

[Berk]

# Start volwheel after a slight delay
(sleep 3s && volwheel) &

Seems to be the one. I'm running the new Crunchbang statler alpha.

Here's mine, albeit not quite how I want it to be yet:

I'm trying to do something kde4/oxygenesque regarding the looks.

Anyone knows if is it possible to have mouse actions to move between tasks, when it is over a task, and move between desktops, when the cursor is on the borders? I had the impression that it was possible, when I was trying other tint2rc's I've found, but I'm not sure if it did both really. I'm suspicious that it occupied less than 100% of the width and I was just rolling over the desktop, which is not how I want to do it.

Other question: is it possible to create a custom menu, like in fbpanel? I used to have a menu for mpc/mpd, somewhat mimicking a menu you'd have with most other audio players when right-clicking its menu on the system tray.

Lol, tint2. Those were the good old days. I really should forget about all the shiny stuff and get back to the basics. The sweet, minimal, transparent, rounded basics. Damn, tint2 is cool. XD

[the dsc]

Answering myself: "wm_menu = 1" on the panel section will make the padding react to mouse actions as if it was the plain desktop background, thus, if it's configured to change desktop by moving the will, that's what it will do. Rootmenu and whatever else as well. Great!
