Solved tint2 panel does not auto-hide

[mefizto]

Greetings all,

I have installed x11/tint and set-up auto-hide in the configuration file:

# AUTOHIDE

autohide        = 0
strut_policy    = minimum

However, the panel stubbornly refuses to auto-hide. A search did not yield any solution, so any help would be appreciated.

Kindest regards,

M

autohide = 1 (boolean true = 1)?
Otherwide autohide_height = 1 (pixels)

Hi CuatroTorres,

I should have mentioned, that I did try the option

autohide    = 1

but it did not help. Neither did the addition of the line

autohide_height = 1

Kindest regards,

You can run tint2 from the terminal and view the thrown traces for errors or ~/.xsession-errors.

I have

autohide = 1
autohide_show_timeout = 0
autohide_hide_timeout = 0.5
autohide_height = 2

which works like a charm.

Do other changes take effect, i.e. do you edit the correct file?

Could the config file be inaccessible? Does it load the rest of the config?

EDIT: eternal_noob Do you need to set the height?... how the panel behaves in the absence of?

I don't know, i used the graphical tool tint2conf. Never tried it manually.

Sounds like a good starting point, try tint2conf. Perhaps you are overriding the configuration at some point earlier through wrong manual input.

Greetings all,

thank you all for the help. After following eternal_noob's suggestion to use the graphical interface, which worked, I discovered that my manually created configuration file was in a wrong place in the hierarchy, so it was never found.

Kindest regards,
