[edit] Introduction
From the project's homepage:
ttm is a simple panel/taskbar intentionally made for openbox3, but should also work with other window managers. It's still in early development so please report bugs :)
[edit] Features
- background button-border effect (see screenshot)
- font shadow
- option to center tasks
- option to change panel width/height
- tasks do now squeeze (more or less) when they hit panel edge
- middle-click closes window
- left-click toggles shade
[edit] Requirements
In order to grab the latest (svn) snapshot of tint's source code, you'll need to install subversion (a versioning system):
# pacman -S subversion
[edit] Installation
Open your favourite terminal and enter:
$ svn checkout http://ttm.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ttm $ cd ./ttm/src $ make $ sudo make install
Now copy the sample config:
$ cd .. $ mkdir -p ~/.config/tint/ $ cp config_sample ~/.config/tint/tintrc
You should now be able to launch tint as you would any other application (e.g. Alt+F2 -> tint). To run it at startup, you can add it to the ~/.xinitrc file, for example:
xscreensaver -no-splash & eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` & conky & visibility & tint & exec openbox
