MythTV and XFCE Panel

Does anybody know how I can make MythTV run above XFCE Panel?  It stays on top when I watch TV full screen and if I use the panel it normally makes the whole computer freeze.  I've tried the auto-hide but if I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to activate the panel, it all crashes again.

  • New network (and much more) monitor for XFCE panel

    A few years ago I wrote a tiny app to show a text network monitor in the XFCE panel, resembling the previous one I was familiarized with (in KDE?).
    The past month I started fixing a bug and ended in a full rewrite, but keeping the original simplicity (at least in the panel bar) despite that now reports far more than the network activity.
    The installation instructions are the same: download a single file (no dependencies), compile it, add a Generic Monitor Applet (XFCE) to the panel and configure it to load the new executable.
    I have updated the wiki page, but the full instructions and code is now hosted at github: "Hacker's Monitor for XFCE". Yes, it has a new name also.
    Here follows a screenshot with the mouse over the applet to open the tooltip (yes, I was intentionally doing a dd from /dev/sda into /dev/null ):

  • Xfce panel and Pidgin buddy list maximizing on tray icon click

    Curious if anyone else has seen this behavior in Xfce with the system tray in the xfce panel:
    1.) Start pidgin unmaximized.
    2.) Click tray icon to iconify.
    3.) Click tray icon to restore buddy list: original dimensions retained.
    4.) Click tray icon to iconify.
    5.) Click tray icon to restore buddy list: maximized.
    Trying to figure it out.  There is already a bug filed in the arch bugzilla here : http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3969

    I have none of the above problems but i may hint about using a new user (or backup your configs and start with a clean session) to see if it still happens. Since the problem came with the switch maybe the problem is there.

  • XFCE panel not responding after suspend

    I've installed XFCE and slim, when I wake up suspended computer XFCE panel behave weird. I can't run any application from launcher in panel, but I can switch between running apps or open panel properties. I think it might be problem with suspending.
    Some stuff I've noticed:
    - I set in xfce power manager and xfce session that computer is locked before suspend but after wake up isn't locked

    You don't have to restart all of xfce, just the panel.
    killall -v xfce4-panel
    then restart it in a terminal to catch any errors
    xfce4-panel
    If you're lucky there'll be errors in the terminal when the panel becomes unresponsive and you can chase them down.

  • Can I have window previews with Docky? Or even the native XFCE Panel?

    In Windows 7, hovering over the window icon buttons will show the preview for the window, is that  possible in Docky/XFCE Panel's Windows Button?

    Here's some more info, in case anyone has any ideas.
    I tried reinstalling the Flip4Mac Safari plug-in and Windows Media Player. Still doesn't work.
    With WMP, I can cut and past the Netflix preview into the player and it will play, but I can't get it to start automatically.
    With QuickTime, even if I cut and paste the URL into it, I get an error: Alert Invalid URL.
    Any idea how I can get these preview to play automatically?
    Thanks!

  • [SOLVED] XFCE Panel Icons

    Does anyone know why my panel icons are black?
    Like such: http://i.imgur.com/rhaLd.png
    I haven't migrated from any other DE, this started happening after I enabled Compiz on startup(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … icon.22.29).
    Any ideas on how to set them to white, or use the icon set from the Xubuntu panel?
    Thanks in advance.
    SOLVED: Elementary Xubuntu icon theme installed, needed to specify "Elementary Xubuntu Dark" vs "Elementary Xubuntu".

    You can't actually move stuff freely in XFCE panels; moving only changes the order of things.  You have to use separators (which can be invisible and have the option to expand) to get stuff in particular places.  I have eight invisible separators on my panel, and the 'Window Buttons' item expands to fill all free space, allowing me to place things on the 'end' of my panel.

    That's what you think.  I have a lot of brain storms when I've had a few (not all 12).
    And my parents are passed.  So I guess I need to ask my wife for a hug (however, she is at work).
    I want a hug now, not after 6pm. 
    Anyway, I think, that you can move the panel if you uncheck the "lock panel" option. I just accidentally figured that out. Should have known the answer was something simple
    I did un-check the 'lock panel' box, and couldn't move that top bar (upon using the default).
    So as a I said, I removed both of the newly created panels, and redid them from scratch.

  • Gvim xfce panel icon

    Hello,
    I am desperately trying to set the gvim icon file for the xfce panel(faenza icon theme to be precise), but without any luck. I have tried to edit the gvim.desktop situated in /usr/share/applications/. I obviously edited the icon key, but without any luck either. I have tried full path and with only the name. I even tried to find the old icon to try and delete it, but gvim really seems stubborn.
    What have I missed ?
    Thank you in advance for any response

  • Huge icons in xfce panel system tray

    Hi,
    i have huge icons in xfce panel system tray for pidgin and transmission... Any idea how to fix it?

    Are you using xfce4-power-manager in xfce4?  I can see that it appears that you are using the xfce4 panel, but it is not clear that you are using the rest of it.  If you are, isn't it started by the .desktop file?  In those files you can specify the icon used, so you might be able to simply change it to something more common to most icon sets. 
    Personally, I don't use icons or .desktop files, so I'm not sure that this is actually good advice.  But it is the first thing that came to mind.

  • Stopping xfce panel autostarting in xfce session...

    OK, I've looked OVER ALL THE INTERWEBZ for this one and I've found nothing, not even in this forum, unless I'm doing it wrong.
    I prefer to use pypanel over the xfce4-panel. I have pypanel autostarting when I log into my xfce session. Problem is is that the xfce4-panel also autostarts, and I don't want it to. The xfce4-panel doesn't appear in my "Autostarted Applications" list neither.
    How do I resolve this?

  • Organize XFCE panel !

    Hi,
    It seems very stupid but I really can't organize my XFCE panel how I want to... My top panel takes all the width of my screen and all the elements are stuck on the left whereas I would like only launchers on the left with XFCE menu and the time with systray on the right.
    But when I try to move the elements to the right, they immediately come back to the left (they are not locked) !
    I hope my explanation is clear ... If you could help me...

    Right-click the panel and add a new object. Choose a spacer (I hope that's the right term, my Xfce is German), let it expand and place systray and clock right to it.

    While that works, how do you see the panel when you want to see it?
    When I hover over it with my mouse the panel pops up and the opacity is 0%. The only thing that is in my XFCE panel is the systray. I use tint2 as a taskbar and rightclick on the desktop to bring on the menu. I never work fullscreen and I don't use wine.
    Oh, I get it. You checked the "make active panel opaque" box. That definately works.
    I wouldn't mark this as solved though, since the OP wants a slightly different behaviour (I would prefer that too).

  • [SOLVED] xfce-panel causing problems with mouse/touchpad

    Since upgrading the packages below  I mouseclicks occasionally do not work.  Also scrolling using the scrollwheel and touchpad doesn't start sometimes. I determined it is not a problem with the mouse or touchpad because 'xev' shows the correct events firing. Also  I see the icon change from arrow to hand when clicking.
    <edit>
    It appears that "xfce4-panel" is the cause. I use tint2 instead of  xfce-panel, but the process running an empty panel is started by default and  somehow interfered with mouse and touchpad events. solved it by removing it from the session, and comment it out in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

  • Xfce panels defaulting at boot

    Everytime I go into Xfce, there is a prompt asking if I want to use the default panels on the desktop or none at all. The prompt assumes that this is the first time I have started Xfce in my entire life. I have fully customized my panels everytime I get in just on the off chance that they save that time. For those wondering, I start SLiM with the rest of daemons and have it use Xfce from there. I am not quite sure where the config file responsible would be or even if there is one to blame. My ~/.xinitrc file says:
    exec startxfce4
    and I have removed the last bits of gnome3 (gross) which were causing previous, but now fixed, issues. All of my other applications are remembering their prefs except for whatever controls the xfce panels. What I find odd isn't that xfce can't remember my panel layout (or any other theme prefrences) but that it is starting from scratch at every boot. I was looking for solutions earlier and did find that there was a bug back in 4.2.something that would cause panels not to save but I have the newest 4.8. I did see something else about file permissions for ~/.config (apparently an xfce4-panel file). Just for giggles, I set it at 777 to see if that would do anything but alas, nothing. I can post my config files, just tell me which ones. The default panel layout and theme wouldn't be so bad except there is some awful looking dock at the bottom of my screen and the color scheme annoys me.

    ConnorBehan wrote:
    Something I tell all xfce users to do if they have session related problems is to clear out ~/.cache/xfce4 and ~/.cache/sessions. There is a checkbox besides the one on the logout prompt. It's in the "Sessions and Startup" settings dialog. There is also a tab in there that lets you manually save the session so you can see if any errors are thrown during a terminal instance of "xfce4-session-settings". Hell, while you're at it, see if any autostarted application could be screwing it up.
    I would say the relevant config files are ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml and ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml. As a hack if nothing else works, you could change the default to something more desirable by editing /etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/default.xml.
    Alright, I began with removing the ~/.cache/xfce4 and ~/.cache/sessions. I moved a panel and then logged out. Logged back in and first run dialog was back. I went to the "Sessions and Startup" box ( I don't know how I missed this earlier) and checked the autosave box. I also looked at the other tabs just incase but I didn't want to flip switches too much otherwise I wouldn't know what to do next time it happens. I logged out then in and still the first run dialog box. I went back to the "Sessions and Startup" box and forced a save on the session tab. A dialog box came up and closed pretty quickly, something about saving session. I removed a panel, logged out and then in, and that panel was still gone. Turns out I had to force a save for the stupid thing to catch on. Thank you.
