Solved OpenBox tint2 hiding/un-hiding problems

M

Greetings all,

I have a problem with auto-hiding tint2. The relevant portion of my tint2rc is
Code: 
# Autohide setup
autohide = 1
autohide_show_timeout = 0.2
autohide_hide_timeout = 0.5
autohide_height = 5
The problems are that (i) the auto-hide does not follow the timeout settings - the panel shows for more than 2 seconds, and (ii) the panel un-hiding is inconsistent in that it takes more than the time variable and sometimes it takes several attempts to move the mouse in and out of the hidden panel pixels before the panel shows again.

Can this be a conflict with the rc.xml
Code: 
<dock>
  <position>Bottom</position>
  <floatingX>0</floatingX>
  <floatingY>0</floatingY>
  <noStrut>yes</noStrut>
  <stacking>Above</stacking>
  <direction>Horizontal</direction>
  <autoHide>no</autoHide>
  <hideDelay>200</hideDelay>
  <showDelay>500</showDelay>
  <noStrut>no</noStrut>
</dock>

Kindest regards,

M
 
Hi
Here's an excerpt from my tint2 configuration:
#-------------------------------------
# Tooltip
tooltip_show_timeout = 0.5
tooltip_hide_timeout = 0.1
tooltip_padding = 2 2
tooltip_background_id = 5
tooltip_font_color = #222222 100
tooltip_font = sans 9

And in my Openbox rc.xml file, there's no <dock> configuration.
I don't have any problems with the timeout for hiding and showing.
 
Hi fernandel,

thank you for your reply. I did that several times, even - being influenced by Windows - rebooted the computer. But, is it now solved, please see answer to fjdlr below.

Hi fjdlr,

thank you for your reply.

In a meanwhile, I solved the problem in a cowardly manner by starting with somebody's configuration that was close to my idea, which worked. Then I kept modifying the configuration, and it still works. So, I do not know what the problem originally was. :(

Kindest regards,

M
 
Still nice of you to come back and let us know it was solved. By the way, if you have time, maybe you could post that working config, I'm sure someone will want to make use of it down the line. Not me, as I didn't get on this thread, as I like tint to stay visible, but I'm sure most people want the autohide.
 
Oups, error

Hi scottro,

thank you for the kind words. The relevant portion of the configuration is:
Code: 
autohide = 1
autohide_show_timeout = 0.0
autohide_hide_timeout = 0.5
autohide_height = 4
As you will be able to determine, the only difference is in change of some of the values, which makes the previous failure even more mysterious, especially considering the different values as presented by fernandel and fjdlr.

The hypothesis I can offer is that there might be another variable, e.g., in the rc.xml that was set differently. But this would be a question for an OpenBOX knowledgeable person.

Kindest regards,

M
