  • Im planning to switch to polybar and have some questions
    From what I understand u'r not rly looking for polybar , it just doesn't suit u (as a person who switched from KDE recently) , I think u'r looking for something like `tint2` , it looks horrible but u can customize it , check this and this. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Complete rewrite of the netwmicon-patch: Enables to set _NET_WM\_ICON with a png-image and display an icon for st
    Generally the icon of an application is defined by its desktop-entry. The patch Desktopentry serves this purpose. Unfortunately, some programs like tint2 or Alttab can't make use of the desktop-entry and Rely instead on a hardcoded icon which has to be defined by the application Itself with the window-propery _NET_WM_ICON. Since st doesn't define _NET_WM_ICON this programs can't display the correct icon for st... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • tint2 panel doesn't re-appear after reconfiguring+restarting or quitting+re-running
    The intersection of people using both StumpWM and the tint2 panel/taskbar is probably pretty small, so I've not a lot of hope, but here's the issue: for whatever reason tint2 will run fine the first time it's started on StumpWM, but restarting it or quitting and running it again doesn't work. If I run it from the commandline I can see that it seems to be starting normally, but it won't actually appear. Any ideas... Source: over 2 years ago
  • Alternatives to polybar
    I know about candybar, lemonbar and tint2, I don't know if they have features like this. But can't you just not launch it on the bspwmrc, and then launch it, and kill it when you want with a keybind? Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Problems getting my systray working!

  • Why do you hate us, Microsoft? Biggest mistake was "upgrading" to Windows 11 in the first place
    TaskbarX for taskbar customization. TaskbarXI for Win11. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Black and White Laptop Setup
    Its a software called Rainmeter, basically you can put widgets and go crazy with customization. For the taskbar its called TaskbarX (its also a skin in Rainmeter). As for the live time its LunaIUI Widget. Source: about 1 year ago
  • My desktop theme for 2023 !
    For those wondering, I'm pretty certain this is done with rainmeter. It's similar to this setup which has all the used skins posted. Clock is the same except with a different font for the bottom text, clear taskbar is like taskbarx or translucent taskbar, I couldn't find anything similar to the audio player so it's probably self made or edited from another preexisting skin.
