It may be good to share your ~/.config/tint2/gb-tint2rc

That's it :)

There's a really easy fix for this.
To exclude 'tint2' from hiding , you need to set a layer-order for tint2 in ~/.fluxbox/apps file:

Code: Select all

[app] (class=Tint2)
  [Layer] {12}
[end]

save the file, and log out/in again (actually a 'fluxbox-remote restart' should do the job too)
Now tint2 will no longer hide when hitting Alt+D

Edited: class-name needs be with capital T

[ceeslans]

... and should you also want to exclude conky from hiding, then write a similar layer-order in ~/.fluxbox/apps:

Code: Select all

[app] (class=Conky)
  [Layer]	{12}
[end]

note: this only applies to fluxbox setup of course

Sorry, typo:
