tint2 - lightweight panel/taskbar
توضیحات (DESCRIPTION)
tint2 is a simple panel/taskbar made for modern X window managers. It
was specifically made for Openbox but it should also work with other
window managers (GNOME, KDE, XFCE etc.).
Features:
• Panel with taskbar, system tray, clock and launcher icons;
• Easy to customize: color/transparency on fonts, icons, borders
and backgrounds;
• Pager like capability: move tasks between workspaces (virtual
desktops), switch between workspaces;
• Multi-monitor capability: create one panel per monitor,
showing only the tasks from the current monitor;
• Customizable mouse events.
Goals:
• Be unintrusive and light (in terms of memory, CPU and
aesthetic);
• Follow the freedesktop.org specifications;
• Make certain workflows, such as multi-desktop and
multi-monitor, easy to use.

Introduction
These are instructions for configuring tint2 directly by editing its
config file. You may also use instead the graphical interface
tint2conf.
The first time you run tint2, it will create the config file in
$HOME/.config/tint2/tint2rc (This applies if you have done a clean
install. Running tint2 in the source directory without doing 'make
install' will not create the config file.)
You can also specify another file on the command line with the -c
option, e.g.: tint2 -c $HOME/tint2.conf. This can be used to run
multiple instances of tint2 that use different settings.
If you change the config file while tint2 is running, the command
killall -SIGUSR1 tint2 will force tint2 to reload it.
All the configuration options supported in the config file are listed
below. Try to respect as much as possible the order of the options as
given below.
Backgrounds and borders
The tint2 config file starts with the options defining background
elements with borders:
• rounded = number_of_pixels : the corner radius
• border_width = integer : the border width in pixels
• border_sides = LRTB : the sides to draw the border on (left,
right, top, bottom). If not specified, all sides are used.
(since 0.12.12)
• background_color = color opacity
• color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
• opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully
transparent, 100 is fully opaque. Note that for a
transparent panel you need to enable a desktop compositor
(such as compton or compiz).
• border_color = color opacity
• color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
• opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully
transparent, 100 is fully opaque
• background_color_hover = color opacity (default: same as
background_color) (since 0.12.3)
• color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
• opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully
transparent, 100 is fully opaque. Note that for a
transparent panel you need to enable a desktop compositor
(such as compton or compiz)
• border_color_hover = color opacity (default: same as
border_color) (since 0.12.3)
• color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
• opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully
transparent, 100 is fully opaque
• background_color_pressed = color opacity (default: same as
background_color_hover) (since 0.12.3)
• color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
• opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully
transparent, 100 is fully opaque. Note that for a
transparent panel you need to enable a desktop compositor
(such as compton or compiz)
• border_color_pressed = color opacity (default: same as
border_color_hover) (since 0.12.3)
• color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
• opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully
transparent, 100 is fully opaque
• border_content_tint_weight = integer : Mixes the border color
with the content color (for tasks, this is the average color
of the window icon). Values must be between 0 (no mixing) and
100 (fully replaces the color). (since 16.0)
• background_content_tint_weight = integer : Mixes the
background color with the content color (for tasks, this is
the average color of the window icon). Values must be between
0 (no mixing) and 100 (fully replaces the color). (since 16.0)
You can define as many backgrounds as you want. For example, the
following config defines two backgrounds:
rounded = 1
border_width = 0
background_color = #282828 100
border_color = #000000 0
rounded = 1
border_width = 0
background_color = #f6b655 90
border_color = #cccccc 40
tint2 automatically identifies each background with a number starting
from 1 (1, 2, ...). Afterwards, you can apply a background to objects
(panel, taskbar, task, clock, systray) using the background id, for
example:
panel_background_id = 1
taskbar_background_id = 0
task_background_id = 0
task_active_background_id = 2
systray_background_id = 0
clock_background_id = 0
Identifier 0 refers to a special background which is fully transparent,
identifier 1 applies the first background defined in the config file
etc.
Gradients
(Available since 0.13.0)
Backgrounds also allow specifying gradient layers that are drawn on top
of the solid color background.
First the user must define one or more gradients in the config file,
each starting with gradient = TYPE. These must be added before
backgrounds.
Then gradients can be added by index to backgrounds, using the
gradient_id = INDEX, gradient_id_hover = INDEX and gradient_id_pressed
= INDEX, where INDEX is the gradient index, starting from 1.
Gradient types
Gradients vary the color between fixed control points: * vertical
gradients: top-to-bottom; * horizontal gradients: left-to-right; *
radial gradients: center-to-corners.
The user must specify the start and end colors, and can optionally add
extra color stops in between using the color_stop option, as explained
below.
Vertical gradient, with color varying from the top edge to the bottom edge,
two colors
gradient = vertical
start_color = #rrggbb opacity
end_color = #rrggbb opacity
Horizontal gradient, with color varying from the left edge to the right
edge, two colors
gradient = horizontal
start_color = #rrggbb opacity
end_color = #rrggbb opacity
Radial gradient, with color varying from the center to the corner, two
colors:
gradient = radial
start_color = #rrggbb opacity
end_color = #rrggbb opacity
Adding extra color stops (0% and 100% remain fixed, more colors at x%
between the start and end control points)
color_stop = percentage #rrggbb opacity
Gradient examples
# Gradient 1: thin film effect
gradient = horizontal
start_color = #111122 30
end_color = #112211 30
color_stop = 60 #221111 30
# Gradient 2: radial glow
gradient = radial
start_color = #ffffff 20
end_color = #ffffff 0
# Gradient 3: elegant black
gradient = vertical
start_color = #444444 100
end_color = #222222 100
# Gradient 4: elegant black
gradient = horizontal
start_color = #111111 100
end_color = #222222 100
# Background 1: Active desktop name
rounded = 2
border_width = 1
border_sides = TBLR
background_color = #555555 10
border_color = #ffffff 60
background_color_hover = #555555 10
border_color_hover = #ffffff 60
background_color_pressed = #555555 10
border_color_pressed = #ffffff 60
gradient_id = 3
gradient_id_hover = 4
gradient_id_pressed = 2
[...]
Panel
• panel_items = LTSBC defines the items tint2 will show and the
order of those items. Each letter refers to an item, defined
as:
• L shows the Launcher
• T shows the Taskbar
• S shows the Systray (also called notification area)
• B shows the Battery status
• C shows the Clock
• F adds an extensible spacer (freespace). You can specify
more than one. Has no effect if T is also present. (since
0.12)
• E adds an executor plugin. You can specify more than one.
(since 0.12.4)
• P adds a push button. You can specify more than one. (since
0.14)
• : adds a separator. You can specify more than one. (since
0.13.0)
For example, panel_items = STC will show the systray, the
taskbar and the clock (from left to right).
• panel_monitor = monitor (all or primary or 1 or 2 or ...) :
Which monitor tint2 draws the panel on
• The first monitor is 1
• Use panel_monitor = all to get a separate panel per monitor
• primary_monitor_first = boolean (0 or 1) : Place the primary
monitor before all the other monitors in the list. (since
0.12.4; removed in 1.0, use primary instead)
[](images/panel_padding.jpg)
• panel_position = vertical_position horizontal_position
orientation
• vertical_position is one of: bottom, top, center
• horizontal_position is one of: left, right, center
• orientation is one of: horizontal, vertical
• panel_size = width height
• width and height can be specified without units (e.g. 123)
as pixels, or followed by % as percentages of the monitor
size (e.g. 50%). Use 100% for full monitor width/height.
Example:
• scale_relative_to_dpi = integer : If set to a non-zero value,
HiDPI scaling is enabled. Each panel is visible on a different
monitor. Thus each panel has a specific scaling factor. The
scaling factor is computed as the ratio between the monitor
DPI (obtained from the dimensions in pixels and millimeters
from RandR) and a configured reference DPI - this is the DPI
for which exising user configs looked normal, for backward
compatibility.
• scale_relative_to_screen_height = integer : Similar to
scale_relative_to_dpi, except the scaling factor is computed
as the ratio between the monitor height and
scale_relative_to_screen_height. The effect is cumulative with
scale_relative_to_dpi, i.e. if both options are present, the
factors are multiplied.
# The panel's width is 94% the size of the monitor, the height is 30 pixels:
panel_size = 94% 30
• panel_shrink = boolean (0 or 1) : If set to 1, the panel will
shrink to a compact size dynamically. (since 0.13)
• panel_margin = horizontal_margin vertical_margin : The margins
define the distance between the panel and the
horizontal/vertical monitor edge. Use 0 to obtain a panel with
the same size as the edge of the monitor (no margin).
[](images/panelsizemargin.jpg)
• panel_padding = horizontal_padding vertical_padding spacing :
Please refer to the image below.
[](images/panel_padding.jpg)
• font_shadow = boolean (0 or 1)
• panel_background_id = integer : Which background to use for
the panel.
• wm_menu = boolean (0 or 1) : Defines if tint2 forwards
unhandled mouse events to your window manager. Useful for
window managers such as openbox, which display the start menu
if you right click on the desktop.
• panel_dock = boolean (0 or 1) : Defines if tint2 is placed
into the window manager's dock. For the openbox window manager
it is advised to also use a modifier for the moveButton
option, otherwise the mouse click is not forwarded to tint2
(in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml).
• panel_pivot_struts = boolean (0 or 1) : Defines if tint2 lies
to the window manager about its orientation (horizontal vs
vertical) when requesting reserved space with STRUTs (see
strut_policy below). On some window managers, this allows
placing a panel in the middle of the virtual screen, e.g. on
the bottom edge of the top monitor in a vertical dual-monitor
setup.
• panel_layer = bottom/normal/top : Places tint2 into the
bottom/normal/top layer. This is helpful for specifying if the
panel can be covered by other windows or not. The default is
the bottom layer, but with real transparency normal or top
layer may be a nice alternative.
• strut_policy = follow_size/minimum/none : STRUTs are used by
the window manager to decide the size of maximized windows.
Note: on multi-monitor (Xinerama) setups, the panel generally
must be placed at the edge (not in the middle) of the virtual
screen for this to work correctly (though on some window
managers, setting panel_pivot_struts may work around this
limitation).
• follow_size means that the maximized windows always resize
to have a common edge with tint2.
• minimum means that the maximized windows always expand to
have a common edge with the hidden panel. This is useful if
the autohide option is enabled.
• none means that the maximized windows use the full screen
size.
• panel_window_name = string : Defines the name of the panel's
window. Default: 'tint2'. (since 0.12)
• disable_transparency = boolean (0 or 1) : Whether to disable
transparency instead of detecting if it is supported. Useful
on broken graphics stacks. (since 0.12)
• mouse_effects = boolean (0 or 1) : Whether to enable mouse
hover effects for clickable items. (since 0.12.3)
• mouse_hover_icon_asb = alpha (0 to 100) saturation (-100 to
100) brightness (-100 to 100) : Adjusts the icon color and
transparency on mouse hover (works only when mouse_effects =
1).` (since 0.12.3)
• mouse_pressed_icon_asb = alpha (0 to 100) saturation (-100 to
100) brightness (-100 to 100) : Adjusts the icon color and
transparency on mouse press (works only when mouse_effects =
1).` (since 0.12.3)
• autohide = boolean (0 or 1) : Whether to enable panel hiding
when the mouse cursor exists the panel.
• autohide_show_timeout = float : Show timeout in seconds after
the mouse cursor enters the panel. Use '.' as decimal
separator.
• autohide_hide_timeout = float : Hide timeout in seconds after
the mouse cursor exits the panel. Use '.' as decimal
separator.
• autohide_height = integer : panel height (width for vertical
panels) in hidden mode.

• launcher_item_app = path_to_application : Each
launcher_item_app must be a file path to a .desktop file
following the freedesktop.org specification
⟨http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html⟩.
The paths may begin with ~, which is expanded to the path of
the user's home directory. If only a file name is specified,
the file is search in the standard application directories
($XDG_DATA_HOME/applications, ~/.local/share/applications,
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications, /usr/local/share/applications,
/usr/share/applications, /opt/share/applications).
• launcher_apps_dir = path_to_directory : Specifies a path to a
directory from which the launcher is loading all .desktop
files (all subdirectories are explored recursively). Can be
used multiple times. The path may begin with ~, which is
expanded to the path of the user's home directory. (since
0.12)
• launcher_background_id = integer : Defines which background to
use.
• launcher_icon_background_id = integer : Defines which
background to use for icons.
• launcher_padding = horizontal_padding vertical_padding spacing
• launcher_icon_size = integer : The launcher icon size, in
pixels.

• You can switch between virtual desktops.
• taskbar_hide_if_empty = boolean (0 or 1) : If enabled, in
multi-desktop mode the taskbars corresponding to empty
desktops different from the current desktop are hidden. (since
0.13)

plugin. Multiple such plugins are supported; just use multiple
Es in panel_items. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_command = text : Command to execute. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_interval = integer : The command is executed again after
execp_interval seconds from the moment it exits. If zero, the
command is executed only once. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_continuous = integer : If non-zero, the last
execp_continuous lines from the output of the command are
displayed, every execp_continuous lines; this is useful for
showing the output of commands that run indefinitely, such as
ping 127.0.0.1. If zero, the output of the command is
displayed after it finishes executing. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_has_icon = boolean (0 or 1) : If execp_has_icon = 1, the
first line printed by the command is interpreted as a path to
an image file. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_cache_icon = boolean (0 or 1) : If execp_cache_icon = 0,
the image is reloaded each time the command is executed
(useful if the image file is changed on disk by the program
executed by execp_command). (since 0.12.4)
• execp_icon_w = integer : You can use execp_icon_w and
execp_icon_h to resize the image. If one of them is
zero/missing, the image is rescaled proportionally. If both of
them are zero/missing, the image is not rescaled. (since
0.12.4)
• execp_icon_h = integer : See execp_icon_w. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_tooltip = text : The tooltip. If left empty, no tooltip
is displayed. If missing, the standard error of the command is
shown as a tooltip (an ANSI clear screen sequence can reset
the contents, bash: printf '\e[2J', C: printf("\x1b[2J");). If
the standard error is empty, the tooltip will show information
about the time when the command was last executed. (since
0.12.4)
• execp_font = [FAMILY-LIST] [STYLE-OPTIONS] [SIZE] : The font
used to draw the text. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_font_color = color opacity : The font color. (since
0.12.4)
• execp_markup = boolean (0 or 1) : If non-zero, the output of
the command is treated as Pango markup, which allows rich text
formatting. The format is documented here
⟨https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/pango-markup-language.html⟩.
Note that using this with commands that print data downloaded
from the Internet is a possible security risk. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_background_id = integer : Which background to use.
(since 0.12.4)
• execp_centered = boolean (0 or 1) : Whether to center the
text. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_padding = horizontal_padding vertical_padding
spacing_between_icon_and_text (since 0.12.4)
• execp_monitor = integer (1, 2, ...), primary or all : On
which monitor to draw the executor. The first monitor is 1.
(since 17.0)
• execp_lclick_command = text : Command to execute on left
click. If not defined, execp_command is executed immediately,
unless it is currently running. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_mclick_command = text : Command to execute on right
click. If not defined, execp_command is executed immediately,
unless it is currently running. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_rclick_command = text : Command to execute on middle
click. If not defined, execp_command is executed immediately,
unless it is currently running. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_uwheel_command = text : Command to execute on wheel
scroll up. If not defined, execp_command is executed
immediately, unless it is currently running. (since 0.12.4)
• execp_dwheel_command = text : Command to execute on wheel
scroll down. If not defined, execp_command is executed
immediately, unless it is currently running. (since 0.12.4)
