MX-23_fluxbox_alpha2_x64 released for testing

[i_ri]

on the lenovo yoga ibm keyboard the brightness keys become usable active When xfce4-power-manager is running.

Do you know which setting in tint2 settings fix the tooltip (volume and wifi) going to the bottom of the panel? Here's what I've found out when I'm in the panel section of tint2 settings.

@siamhie Ceeslans found it on page 2, post #11
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 21#p723621
and I brought it up again in post #140

@m_pav I saw that post earlier but was looking for a solution using the tint2 settings manager.
I'll keep digging through the manager to see if I can come up with something without having to manually edit the rc file.

The solution I offered is certainly not failproof, but rather a workaround only for an ever-occuring issue in tint2. It may not work on other user's setup/system...
I did notice though that systemtray tooltips almost-always display correctly in tint2 panels of upto 32-34px height... Perhaps you could consider to adjust the default tint2 panel height accordingly?

[kobaian]

no.

let's take spanish (es) as an example


in the menu-mx_es file, instead of pointing the submenus to ~/.fluxbox/submenus/appearances point to /usr/share/mxflux/menu/menu-translations/appearances_es or wherever the actual localized submenus happen to be.

Looking at this again, I believe it has finally sunk in. You are suggesting that I change this for example:

Code: Select all

    [submenu] (Aparencia)
    [include] (~/.fluxbox/submenus/appearance)
    [end]

into this:

Code: Select all

 [submenu] (Aparencia)
    [include] (/usr/share/mxflux/menu/menu-translations/appearance_es)
    [end]

There's no such a directory: /usr/share/mxflux/menu/menu-translations/ in MX-23.
I've got /usr/share/mxflux/menu-translations/ instead.
So the file menu-mx_pl from the github does not work out of the box at all, but after changing the [include] paths to the correct ones it works alright.

@siamhie notifications only seem to work properly with certain autohide_height values. No idea why.
@ceeslans I find a 30 pixel panel a bit too thin

Been fiddling with a new tint2 panel - now with workspaces!

Well, that's annoying. I swear this panel was working properly on the alpha yesterday, today windows are maximising behind the panel again. Strangely it still works as it should in mxfb21.

Anyway, a bit more fiddling to try and get it working on the alpha.
fixed appfinder button - sorry, I had one mxfb- too many in the path

Code: Select all

# Button 1
...
button_lclick_command = rofi -show drun -theme ~/.config/rofi/themes/appfinder/mxfb-appfinder.rasi

Next attempt at getting systray notifications and maximised windows to play nicely

Code: Select all

# Panel
...
autohide_height = 42

updated config

Code: Select all

There's no such a directory: /usr/share/mxflux/menu/menu-translations/ in MX-23.
I've got /usr/share/mxflux/menu-translations/ instead.
So the file menu-mx_pl from the github does not work out of the box at all, but after changing the [include] paths to the correct ones it works alright.

Can confirm. The path has a menu/ too many.

[Jerry3904]

Excellent, thanks to both.

Will redo tomorrow.

The solution I offered is certainly not failproof, but rather a workaround only for an ever-occuring issue in tint2. It may not work on other user's setup/system...
I did notice though that systemtray tooltips almost-always display correctly in tint2 panels of upto 32-34px height... Perhaps you could consider to adjust the default tint2 panel height accordingly?

@ceeslans I did try that. I tried values all the way to 55 pixels in height but the volume and WiFi tooltips would still show below the panel. All other tooltips (app finder, update notifier, clock and exit options) behave normally.

@siamhie notifications only seem to work properly with certain autohide_height values. No idea why.

@Melber I keep the toolbar visible at all times, so I never bothered with those values.


Now to the good news. All tooltips now show above the panel. I'm not sure what did the trick as I was following an Arch tint2 wiki and had tried all sorts of recommendations.
My panel settings are back to normal and maximized windows sit on top of the panel and not full screen behind it. I'll make notes on what I do when we move to the beta phase.

Same here.
When playing with strut_policy=minimum I found that the value of autohide_height has an influence on where a window maximises to, even when the panel is set to never hide.

Does your config work if you change the panel width to 100% ?

@Melber Nope. Looks like I have a new issue. Seems the panel now is 35 pixels above the bottom of the screen. My tooltips still work but this is odd. If I set it to 99% width then the panel sits at the bottom of the screen as it should.
