How do you get pypanel to have a top and bottom panel?

[BeachBum]

I've almost got my ideal pypanel but need help with one more thing. I'm sure this is possible but I cannot get it to work.

If I have firefox, for example, raised and focused, what do I need to change in the config so that if I click on Firefox in the taskbar, it becomes minimized/ lowered to taskbar? XFCE panel does this, and I miss it.



# taskFocus(task)
# - Give focus to the selected application, if it has focus then minimize it



""" Button event handler for the panel's tasks """

if button == 1:
pp.taskFocus(task)

By the looks of it, this should happening already, but if I click on Firefox in the taskbar when it already has focus, the window just flickers for a split second.

Any ideas?

[dbbolton]

How do you get pypanel to have a top and bottom panel?
I'm not sure if this is possible. In order to do it, you would have to run 2 instances of pypanel, with the second instance loading a different config file. Since 'pypanel' doesn't have any command line arguments, I don't think you can make it use a config file other than the default. It might be possible to edit the source code and create a new binary that reads a different file, but that seems like more trouble than it's worth.

I wonder if there is something wrong with your pypanel setup. Mine seems to have this feature by default.

Using a wallpaper with an image of a taskbar, pypanel is on top and is transparent.

I've almost got my ideal pypanel but need help with one more thing. I'm sure this is possible but I cannot get it to work.

If I have firefox, for example, raised and focused, what do I need to change in the config so that if I click on Firefox in the taskbar, it becomes minimized/ lowered to taskbar? XFCE panel does this, and I miss it.



# taskFocus(task)
# - Give focus to the selected application, if it has focus then minimize it



""" Button event handler for the panel's tasks """

if button == 1:
pp.taskFocus(task)

By the looks of it, this should happening already, but if I click on Firefox in the taskbar when it already has focus, the window just flickers for a split second.

Any ideas?

Yes I think you need to have 2 instances of pp.taskFocus(task).

So it should be like this:

if button == 1:
pp.taskFocus(task)
pp.taskFocus(task)

More info: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PyPanel#Tips.26Tricks

I hope this is what you are looking for, I know that by default pypanel acts kind of odd and not like a traditional task bar.

Any idea, what command to put into pypanelrc to get the openbox menu opened? I would like to add this to the desktop section instead of switching to the next dektop.

[dbbolton]

Any idea, what command to put into pypanelrc to get the openbox menu opened? I would like to add this to the desktop section instead of switching to the next dektop.
Follow this guide: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/03/14/invoke-openboxs-menu-with-xdotool/

Then create a pypanel launcher with the command "xdotool key ctrl+alt+q", like so (starting at line 111):



#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Application Launch List: Ordered list of icons and applications for the
# application launcher.
#
# Add entries using the following format -
# ("<executable>", "<full path to icon>")
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAUNCH_LIST = [
("xdotool key ctrl+alt+q", "/usr/share/pixmaps/openbox.xbm"),
]


Then you need to include the launch list in the panel layout section (line 146):


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Panel Layout: -----------------------------------
# [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][ 5 ]
# -----------------------------------

TASKS = 2 # Task names section
TRAY = 3 # System tray section
CLOCK = 4 # Clock section

That's working, thank you, now I have the Openbox menu klicking the panel. I just added the command to the desktop section


if button == 1:
os.system("xdotool key ctrl+alt+q")

Very simple pypanel :-) I only use the system tray. Note that you need to apply this patch (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=261501) to pypanel for this configuration to work.

Here is the config file:

I'm only using the system tray as well with openbox; will the update notification work in pypanel, or is that strictly a gnome feature?

for me dont work with pypanel and trayer

I have add yo autostart file this command to check when system start:

xterm -e "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade"

[ddnev45]

I thought that might be the case, and I'd have to use a solution similar to yours.

What kind of panel do you use it bottom of the screen??

Could you share your tintrc file?

Here's the current one.

I thought that pypanel was no longer being actively developed. It's a real shame because it has a very minimalistic feel...I really liked using it.

As far as I know, pypanel is no longer in development, but there have been a few patches released for it. However, tint2 is still in development.
