Code: Select all

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

@ceeslans is on fire today!

@Jerry3904 Any reason not to put these in the default apps file?

[Jerry3904]

I guess, need to give it a try first.

Kudos to @ceeslans !

Can confirm the Tint2 entry works. Toolbar remains on the desktop when Mod1 d :ShowDesktop is used.


As far as the conky goes, I tweak all my conky's to own_window_type = 'desktop',

Code: Select all

own_window_type

if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop, dock, panel, utility or override. 
Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible 
on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. 
Utility windows are like desktop windows, except they appear above everything else rather 
than below. Panel windows reserve space along a desktop edge, just like panels and taskbars, 
preventing maximized windows from overlapping them. The edge is chosen based on the 
alignment option. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. 
Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.

@siamhie : my conkys too all had a own_window_type = 'desktop' setting - up until about three months ago, when I learned that the 'normal' setting is exactly the same as 'desktop', but with one advantage: it allows rightclicking within the conky area...

I was having problems awhile back with my conky disappearing. When I switched to desktop, it all stopped.
The other option I could use is override which I can still open the root menu within the conky area.

Hi Can you please explain the theory behind it? Just for academical interest.
How these layers are defined and why is it not closing at number 12?

How these layers are defined and why is it not closing at number 12?

Open a terminal and type man fluxbox.

Code: Select all

Layers
       fluxbox manages the following layers (from highest to lowest):

       •   Above Dock

       •   Dock

       •   Top

       •   Normal

       •   Bottom

       •   Desktop

Code: Select all

LAYERS
       Layers affect the way that windows will overlap each other on the
       screen. Windows on a higher layer will always appear above those on a
       lower one, whether they are focused or not. Fluxbox uses 13 layers,
       starting from 1 (highest).

       There are two ways to assign a window to a different layer. When the
       window is open, you may select the layer in the ‘Layer ...’ submenu of
       the window menu. The menu gives six choices for the layer, which
       fluxbox manages by name. The names are (from highest to lowest layer):

       •   2 - Above Dock

       •   4 - Dock

       •   6 - Top

       •   8 - Normal

       •   10 - Bottom

       •   12 - Desktop

       The other way to set the layer for a window is through the ‘apps’ file.
       This method is described in fluxbox-apps(5).
