Title: Customization of R8 Microwatt panel (tint2)
Post by: BALLOON a.k.a. Fu-sen. on May 17, 2014, 03:48:03 AM

Openbox was adopted newly in R8 Microwatt.
Openbox oneself does not have a panel.
Therefore Microwatt realizes a panel in "tint2".

You may be troubled with how to open menus of Microwatt. I support it.
 


Open the menu by a right-click from a panel

Micwowatt cannot found a menu from a panel with initial state.
It is very easy to solve this.
(Openbox usually clicks the right-click of the desktop and displays a menu)

open ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc in a text editor.
(Folder .config about hiding is careful)

Please find this line:

Code: [Select]

wm_menu = 0
Change this:

Code: [Select]

wm_menu = 1
Please logout and login once after having stored a file, or execute this command in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

killall -SIGUSR1 tint2
Please click the right button on a panel.
 


Improvement of the further panel

I made a panel indication such as LXDE, I add a menu icon.

Please execute a command, install xdotool:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install xdotool
Please confirm that a menu is displayed by this command:

Code: [Select]

xdotool key super+space
Please download a file "menu.desktop" and put file in /usr/share/desktop :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1125999/wattOS/menu.desktop

Please download a file "tint2rc" and change ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1125999/wattOS/tint2rc
 
Please logout and login once after having stored a file, or execute this command in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

killall -SIGUSR1 tint2
A panel changes.

For customizing the panel, this site was useful.

tint2 adopted in wattOS R8 Microwatt is the latest svn version.

Code: [Select]

$ tint2 --version
tint2 version 0.11+svn20111022
This can use the item of "SVN Only" of the Configure page.
