Re: My tint2 config

@oinkerz:

First you need to define a background, here is what I use (orange):

#4 urgent window
rounded = 5
border_width = 0
background_color = #ba5d00 100
border_color = #999999 100

Then in the task section:

urgent_nb_of_blink = 100000
task_urgent_background_id = 4

There must be an issue with my tint2 because I've tried the above configuration, as well as reverted back to the default, and I still get no type of flashing colors on notification windows (e.g. when someone sends me a message in the background).

Is tint2 dependent upon any other software I may need to install? I am running this on Linux Mint, not Crunchbang. But I'm posting here because this has the biggest amount of support for tint2.

Re: My tint2 config

An easy way to test urgent blinking is to:

1. Install wmctrl
2. List windows with:

wmctrl -l

You get something like:

0x01600003 -1 pc Desktop
0x00e00004  0 pc Terminal - pc echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/c...
0x00edee00  0 pc Terminal - pc wmctrl -i -r 0x02400001 -b add,demand...
0x01800005 -1 N/A tint2
0x0240039d  0 pc Post a reply / CrunchBang Linux Forums - Google Chrome

Pick one in the list (any window that appears in tint2, just not the terminal you are using to type the commands) and copy the window id from the first column.

3. Make the window urgent with (replace 0x0240039d with your window's id):

wmctrl -i -r 0x0240039d -b add,demands_attention

and it should blink. If it blinks, the problem is with your IM client. If it doesn't blink, the problem might be with tint2, in which case if you send me your tint2rc I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

Re: My tint2 config

@ov

Thank you so much, bud. It appears that the notification / attention is indeed working. I tested it out with wmctrl and it worked fine. I'm not quite sure why Pidgin is not wanting to cooperate, but that is another problem itself that I will have to look into. Again though, your help is much appreciated!

Edit: Oh my gosh. Pidgin requires an additional plugin to be installed just for notifications. Ugh. Oh well, problem solved hah.

One last thing since I got you here and you seem pretty knowledgable with the taskbar... 

One thing I liked when I was running Crunchbang that no longer works on Linux Mint is that in my taskbar where the date / time is at, I used to be able to click on that and it would open a mini-calendar. Is that a configuration within tint2 or is that something completely different?

Re: My tint2 config

I'm not sure which was the calendar you were using as there are several.

The one I use at the moment is zenity, you can launch it from the clock with:

clock_lclick_command = zenity --calendar --text ""

Use clock_rclick_command for right click.

Another one is orage. I think it does not need any command line parameters.

PS Glad I could help

Re: My tint2 config

@ ov

#! used osmo I think.  And you're the first person I've seen 'suggest' zenity --calendar &

Another nice one: zenity --color-selection &

zenity --help is my friend.

Well, it works, doesn't it?

zenity --calendar --text "<span foreground=\"#1144dd\"><b>$(fortune|cowsay)</b></span>"

Re: My tint2 config

Thanks again guys, however I was actually able to grab a default #! config for tint2 and it looks like it used gsimplecal

clock_lclick_command = gsimplecal
clock_rclick_command = gsimplecal

Thanks though!

Re: My tint2 config

Shamelessly posting off-topic [1] here to announce that tint2 0.12-rc1 has been released

See https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/blob/master/README.md for changelog, docs and download&compilation instructions.

Note that this is a release candidate so things may not work smoothly. If that is the case, please let me know. Feedback is needed especially for the new configuration GUI tint2conf (note: it should make a backup of ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc automatically, but I suggest making also a manual backup to be sure).

A stable release is planned for this summer.

P.S. tint2 has moved to GitLab because Google Code hosting is shutting down.

[1] Actually since this looks like a power-user-pimp-my-tint2 thread, I think the participants might be interested.

Re: My tint2 config

i know im probably over looking somethign but i want my clockto show up in the very center of my panel not to the far right like it is in the default tint2rc..

edit: switched panel_items from TSC to TCS but as i adjust the clock padding to move it over i lose my tasks...
