Openbox panel questions

Hi!
I`m running OpenBox on my 32 bit Arch. I`ve been using xfce4-panel, but found out that i like tint2 better.
However, i lack some things in it.
1. keyboard layout indicator. In xfce4-panel there was a native plugin. Even though i always switch with Ctrl+Shift, i like to know what language (russian, latvian or english) i am using at the moment. Maybe there is tray utility i missed on?
2. workspace switcher/indicator. I just like to know what workspace i am currently on.
3. calendar app (ideal is in tray ) that when clicking on it, shows me a simple calendar. I know about conky, but i don`t like this option.
Looks like that is everything for now. Would love to hear your opinion.

Ok, so i skipped the tint2 panel, since it`s tray was a bit buggy. I do love the panel itself, but i`ll have to wait for an update. So i switcher to pypanel, which is also great.
Now, i need a mail notification and weather tray icons... are there any you would recommend? I found a "mail-notification" in pacman, but it messes up my pypanel. I don`t want to use conky, since it may mess up my desktop when there is no internet connection. And using desklets would be the last choise for me...

Question about openbox panels

Right now I'm using openbox with XFCE applications (I was running just XFCE, but I didn't need all of the extra things, like xfdesktop, etc, and this dropped my memory usage almost 200MBs!), but I'm still running xfce4-panel because of 1 thing. Clipboard Manager. I was using fbpanel until recently, but I've grown too attached to the clipboard manager, that I can't really do without it. Is there either a separate program, or another bar that using a clipboard manager?

Well that's pretty bizarre, because I'm sat here in XFCE now, with firefox open and only 80 MB of my memory is being used in total. Let's go one better... no desktop environment, 20-30 MB, XFCE with no firefox, 60 - 70 MB and now 80 with firefox. I can't see how you've saved almost 200MBs by not using XFCE, when XFCE doesn't take even half of that amount. I don't even think KDE and Gnome would take up that much of your memory, but who knows?
Anyway, just wanted to point that out, so you don't mislead others into thinking XFCE's some bloated gnome/kde type DE.

Openbox Theming Questions - ( titlebar button size)

I'm trying to tweak an openbox theme that is finger friendly for my daughter's touchscreen and I've run into a question:
I know we can change the image of the .xdm for the titlebar buttons but can we change the size so that it fits a taller titlebar?
I can't see anything in the .themerc, obconf, or obtheme to do so but I hope I'm just missing it somewhere. It seems weird that I can easily increase the size of the titlebar but not the buttons.
Thanks.

I have solved moving a window by dragging the title bar with the following openbox configuration, which is located in ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml on my machine:
<context name="Titlebar">
<mousebind button="Left" action="Drag">
<action name="if">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<then>
<action name="Unmaximize"/>
<action name="MoveResizeTo">
<y>0</y>
</action>
</then>
</action>
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
<action name="ToggleMaximizeFull"/>
</mousebind>
</context>
After holding down the left mouse button on the title bar and moving the mouse, the window is unmaximized and moved to the top of the desktop with the actions Unmaximize and MoveResizeTo. Unmaximizing and moving to the top is only done, if the window is maximized. Then in each case the action Move starts the modus for moving the window with the mouse. This configuration simulates nearly the same behavior as in Windows 7 while dragged the title bar with the left mouse button.
After a left double click on the title bar, the action ToggleMaximizeFull switches the window state once between maximized and unmaximized.

Spry tabbed panels - question about hover

Hello, I am relatively new to Dreamweaver and Spry, but have made a website using vertical Tabbed Panels that finally looks ALMOST like I want it. I am sure that I have done some things that could be much simpler though…
http://web.me.com/marinka9170/JL_test/JL_test.html
My problem is that I would like the tabs to stay in their hover state (so coloured and wider) when you navigate to the content panel (until you hover over the next tab of course), instead of going back to their standard grey. How do I do that?
And my other question is: in the content panels I have used custom bullets. Is there a way to assign a different custom bullet for each content panel? Do I number the content panels, like I have done with the tabs?
Any hints, tips, solutions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Marinka

I indeed see that your example works, but I think in my code there is some sort of conflict going on
I have copied the Source Code and the SpryTabbedPanels.ccs below and 'bolded' the parts where I think the problem is. It is probably in splitting the different tabs in 5, right?
I am sorry for asking these stupid questions. It's all quite new to me, but I've ordered a book to study more. It's just not in yet
Thanks again for your help! Really appreciate it!
Marinka

Sliding Panels Question

Hi there. I'm new to Spry, and I'm using 1.6.1 in Dreamweaver CS3. I want to create sliding panels to showcase some work I've done, but I wanted to know if it's possible to build a scroll function for one panel which will have multiple pieces of work (not a scrollbar).
There's not enough horizontal real estate to show all the work in this particular panel at once, so I want to put a "continue" or "next" and a "previous" button/function on that panel so the user can automatically view differents areas of the panel to see the rest of the related work, without creating a number of different panels for all this.
Is this possible in the sliding panels widget, or is there just one pass per panel? I hope my question is clear.
I'm trying to decide whether to build this in Spry or Flash.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I dug around a bit more and saw an example that shows me that I can do this. Thanks anyway!

Form Guide - Nested Optional Panels questions translations

Hi!
I'm developping a multi language form guide. Thanks to the Paul's workaround, I'm able to translate the field caption. But I cannot find a solution to translate the questions/answers in nested optional panels. Does somebody know a way to do that?
Thank you
Denis

Panel-questions + panel-poll

I would like to have custom gnome-menus in the gnome-panel (like the gnome-menubar shows applications, places,...). This is easy to do with the xfce-panel (uses xml-menufiles) but I would rather like the gnome-panel. I googeled some but couldn't find anything usefull...
Another question: is it possible to give the xfce-panel a bg?

Openbox noob question on menus.

I really do apologize about this insanely noob question but this is driving me up a wall.
I've read several several different resources on openbox (particularly trying to find information on the root menu)
i'm either looking in the wrong place - or I totally saw it and didn't put 2 and 2 together. *shrugs*
so, here is the dealio -
I'm trying to edit the root menu (or as I like to call it right clicky drop down thingy)
I'm running LXDE and from everything I've gathered over the last couple of days trying to tackle this
with lxde you edit the lxde-rc.xml instead of the menu or rc.xml
although after reading through it a plethora of times I noticed that it pulls off of the menu.xml as well...
*basically*
Which file do I actually edit to add stuff to the root menu?
and i've seen dozens of actual templates for editing the menu.xml and lxde-rc.xml but whenever *I* try to follow that I get a syntax error on openbox --reconfigure
and insight or even a swift kick in the ass that will land me on a site that has info that actually works would be ever so appreciated (even if its a search term - I think my problem now is that i've spent so much time looking for this one thing that I might actually be insanely over complicating this and not picking out the right information )

stlarch wrote:An easy way is to install obmenu
I can agree with that even though I'm not sure how to use that program very well. I'd rather learn how to manually edit the stuff, and not have to rely on another program
the main reason I got away from ubuntu was to be semi/forced to learn everything.
JackH79 wrote:Have you read this here as well?
I did glance at that but didn't think that was referring to the root menus...I can decifer through the xml those menu files to some extent...the stuff on freedesktop is straight crypic to me atm...but at least now I know I need to take a much closer look hehe.

Simple collapsible panels question...

(Thought I'd give this forum a try. The other discussion
category gets no traffic! It seems this is where the action is.)
I'm putting collapsible panels on the left side of web page
to be used as a sort of menu list that links to the rest of the
website. Some "tab" sections will have stuff in its associated
"content" section, namely some text that will link to other parts
of the website. Other "tab" sections will have nothing in its
"content" section, but I want to use the text in these tabs to be a
link. In other words, I have no use of the content section for
these tabs. I did a quick test and made the text in a tab to link
to another page, but it didn't do anything (though the "content"
section links of other tabs worked fine). Should I simply delete
this part: <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent"></div>
Here's an example of the web page, though it is still very
much under construction, and no links put in place yet in any of
the "tab" sections of the collapsible panels:
http://www.freywine.com/NewSiteExamples/index4.html
(I just want you to see how I'm using the collapsible panels, and
how the "Home" and "Order Here," for example, will have no text in
their "content" sections of the collapsible panels. Naturally, the
parts with the downward pointing triangle will have text with links
in their "content" sections.)
Basically, the question is: what's the best way to have the
tab section be just a link and the content section to not be there
at all. I suppose I could simply not use collapsible panel code,
but then I would have to figure out how to fit a non-collapsible
panel div to fit right snug between all the collapsible panels (I'm
still very much a newbie with CSS).
Any simple way to deal with this?
I've attached the complete collapsible panel code for the one
which has the tab text as a link and nothing in the content area.
Thanks for the help!
<div id="CollapsiblePanel2" class="CollapsiblePanel">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0"><a
href="
http://freywine.stores.yahoo.net/">Order
Here</a></div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent"></div>
</div>

Youre on the right lines. Just rip all of the collapsible
stuff out
which surrounds the actual link, as shown in the code below.
The code shows the 'Home' and the 'Order Here' <divs>
as your code
should be, plus the opening collapsible <div> of the
'Wine' tab.
Note the 'combined' css classes 'CollapsiblePaneltab' and
'CollapsiblePanel'(leave a gap between them as shown) The
reason for
this is the brown bar to the left of the tab takes its
properties from
the 'CollapsiblePanelTab' css PLUS you need to add some
inline left
padding to get the link to line up under one another.
<div id="sidebar1">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab CollapsiblePanel"
style="padding-left: 7px"><a href="
http://www.bbc.co.uk">Home</a></div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab CollapsiblePanel"
style="padding-left: 7px"><a href="
http://www.bbc.co.uk">Order
Here</a></div>
<div id="CollapsiblePanel3" class="CollapsiblePanel">

Director 11 Panels Question

I, as a user coming from Director MX 2004, am used to having
the score and cast panels docked together.
I have downloaded the new version and I am not able to do
that. Has that been removed?
And any reccomendations on how to use the panels?
Side question - I am looking into taking courses on Director,
or getting books.
Which books are reccomended?
Also, around how much money does a Director
proogrammer/designer (you get the idea) make?
Thanks!!

this issue has angered me too. there's absolutely no way i'm
going to buy this upgrade until issues like this - and the lack of
AS3 support!! - have been resolved.
Books for director mx 2004:
Lingo in a nutshell (essential, although based on v6, still
relevant now)
director mx2004 bible (or the visual quickstart book, they're
both very similar)
HIGHLY recommended is the Lynda.com video tutorials.
lastly - the amount of money you can make varies
ridiculously. what would you expect to develop? think about the end
product!
Don't put all your eggs in one basket - i would suggest
learning flash, html and css too.

CLD Front Panel Question

I understand that the front panel is now provided to you for the CLD. Is the provided front panel fully functional, or does it require modification?
For example, do properties such as mechanical action and boolean text require modification on the test taker's part, or is the front panel fully functional?
I can't imagine these things taking very much time, but it is good to know what to expect going in.
- Tom
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The folder hierarchy provided to you for developing your solution consists of the (named) main VI, input file (where applicable), Controls and SubVIs folders.
Main VI: This includes the front panel with the corresponding terminals on the block diagram. Where front panel objects are grouped and typed defined, the .ctl file will be provided in the Controls folder. Some functionality may be provided with the controls (for example: Data Entry limits), but it is the developer’s responsibility to check and modify to the needs of their solution. For the main VI, you must customize the following:
Icon: Customize the icon. Recommendation: Use simple icons: Example: . Avoid developing fancy, graphical icons
VI Documentation: Briefly describe the VI in the VI Documentation. See following example.
Description and Tip: Provide either a very brief Tip strip or Description for Main VI objects. Example: “Withdraw funds”, “Check Balance”, “Stop Application”

Kinks Panel Question Mark

In the links panel I'm getting a question mark on the right hand side.
I've tried to relink, but ? marks still there. I've deleated the file, but as soon as I place
it back the ? mark returns.
I created a new page and place the file, but the ? mark is still there.
Everytime I open this file it asked me to "repair, replace, ignore or cancel."
I'm using CS4 on a Mac Pro.
How do I get this file to stay linked?
Thanks
HJMann

153 Views. Not bad for a typo. Now I know how to get people's attention.
Figured out what's happening.
I imported the files from a hard drive on another Mac connected to the Mac Pro.
I think somehow Illustrator could not find the link even if I created a new page and
placed the tiff file on it. Probably because the origional resided on the other Mac.
I opened the tiff file in Photoshop and Saved As to a new folder containing the new page.
Opened the page and placed the tiff file. No ? mark.
Thanks for the fun comments everyone.

A different Front Panel question

Just to spice up the board, I'll ask a different question about the front panel. ?I have the X-Fi Fatalty board with the front panel and for the past 2 years have not used the front panel.
My question: Can I pull the front panel and set it asideI don't use it and the ribbon cable is cluttering up the wiring in my, already cramped, case. ?Will it operate with just the PCI card?
Thanks.

Absolutely. I have used mine many times without the front panel. I add it back when I dont want to reach around to the rear to plug in a MIC and I certainly dont use my headphone jack on my center channel speaker for headphone output.

May 2nd, requires a mandatory update of the folio builder panel question

Does this update require another update for the Adobe content viewer on iPAD and will have to be approved from Apple again?

Bob are you trolling me?
You keep repeating the same mantra and ignoring the basic components of my questions, which could be answered in the context of other versions, if it were really a problem to talk about CS6 (it isn't - see below). For example you could say "In CS5.5, when Help > Updates doesn't update the panel, it means you need to install _______ OR it means these files ______ are corrupted. Delete them and try again." Those might not make any sense because I don't know what the actual answer is, but hopefully you get the idea.
By "Builder panel: I mean the Folio Builder panel. Located at the bottom of the stack in the Digital Publishing workspace. AFAIK there isn't another panel that uses the name "builder" (?) so I assumed people would understand what I meant. It is this panel that integrates people's InDesign content into the DPS workflow, is it not? This is where people "experiment" with DPS formatting of documents, based on the tutorials I've seen. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else that has to be installed separately.
My final words on CS6:
CS 6 is not shipping but it IS available (legitimately) to some people and there is no longer an NDA for those people. Perhaps you're under a special embargo not related to the ones that partners and pre-release people had (which were all lifted on the 23rd according to Adobe's own announcements for those people). Other examples that demonstrate there is no limitation about discussing CS6 in the context of DPS:
This week this was posted here.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
It talks in part, about DPS in the context of CS6...

It also talks about DPS in the context of CS6...
...if there were an embargo on discussing CS6 in the context of DPS those documents would not be live. Simple as that.
All that being said:
Are you saying the updated Builder Panel being talked about in this and other threads, is not related to CS6? Tangent to that: when people say "Folio Producer Tools", is the Builder Panel (any version of InDesign) a part of those tools? I'm sorry with all these questions. I've done some homework (reading the product literature, watching tutorials and webcasts) and I am ready to dive in and get to other topics (related to producing content / testing content) but I am stuck at a point where it appears I can't do anything.

XFCE panel question

I hope I can phrase this question right. I'm not sure what kind of terminology to use but I'll give it a shot.
How do I get the "Start Panel" and the "Application Tray" to both be on the same panel. I've tried placing them right next to each other but when the Application Try grows when new windows are opened, it expands over the Start Panel. I know it's possible to do because I've seen screenshots like this one:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c … ce-4.4.png
but I'm not sure how to get it that way. I've tried using Panel Manager but I don't know how to add the Application Tray. Also, does anyone know which icon set that is? I'd actually like my desktop to look almost exactly like that.

A thought: is your panel set to be "full width", in the centre? A "normal width" panel in the bottom left, with the Task List's "Minimum Width" parameter set just nicely to hit the right edge of the screen when empty would behave exactly as you describe.
Panel Manager: Fixed Position, centre (ie, one of the middle buttons in the square array of 12 placement buttons), Normal Width.
Task List: Set the Minimum Width to 100. No, really. In a "normal width" panel, it'll always expand to fit the space available, and if you set this value to the lowest possible, you won't run into any more problems if you add more stuff to the panel, or your System Tray fills up with icons: the List will just contract to give them space. Obviously, if it gets too small, you might want to change it to something larger, but for the moment, it should work fine like that.
