This howto is partly based on corenominal's post in this forum thread.
Note, this howto uses the config files from the CrunchBang “Lite” edition, it also assumes you have not already set-up tint2 and trayer.
It is however reported as working fine in the CrunchBang 8.10 RC1 release.
Open a terminal and enter the following command to download the required packages:
sudo apt-get install tint2 trayer
Create a new file at ~/.config/tint/tintrc and copy in the following:
#--------------------------------------------- # TINT CONFIG FILE #--------------------------------------------- #--------------------------------------------- # PANEL #--------------------------------------------- panel_mode = multi_monitor panel_monitor = 1 panel_position = bottom left panel_size = 0 28 panel_margin = 5 0 panel_padding = 10 0 font_shadow = 0 #--------------------------------------------- # PANEL BACKGROUND AND BORDER #--------------------------------------------- panel_rounded = 0 panel_border_width = 0 panel_background_color = #000000 0 panel_border_color = #000000 0 #--------------------------------------------- # TASKS #--------------------------------------------- task_text_centered = 0 task_width = 32 task_margin = 0 task_padding = 0 task_icon_size = 24 task_font = sans 7 task_font_color = #ffffff 0 task_active_font_color = #ffffff 0 #--------------------------------------------- # TASK BACKGROUND AND BORDER #--------------------------------------------- task_rounded = 0 task_background_color = #000000 0 task_active_background_color = #000000 10 task_border_width = 0 task_border_color = #000000 0 task_active_border_color = #000000 0 #--------------------------------------------- # CLOCK #--------------------------------------------- time1_format = %X %x time1_font = sans 9 #time2_format = %A %d %B #time2_font = sans 9 clock_font_color = #ffffff 100 #--------------------------------------------- # MOUSE ACTION ON TASK #--------------------------------------------- mouse_middle = none mouse_right = close mouse_scroll_up = toggle mouse_scroll_down = iconify
Open ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh for editing and replace the reference to lxpanel with the following:
# Launch panel (sleep 2s && tint) & # Launch system tray (sleep 2s && trayer --expand true --transparent true --alpha 255 --edge bottom --align right --expand true --SetDockType true --widthtype request --margin 130) &
Restart your Openbox session for the changes to take affect.
(machinebacon) This is one of the oldest entries, written at a time when #! was shipped with lxpanel.
