Razor QT 3.0 Task panel height

FWIW If when booting 3.0 the Task bar/panel height is enormously tall it can be corrected without rebooting.
RIGHT click on the Task Panel, click on Configure Panel, change Position to Top of desktop and click on Close. Repeat the process for the Task panel at the top of the desktop to move to it back to the bottom of the desktop.

I thought I killed this one but apparently not. I believe it happens because at times the first icon found for the panel apps are used and there is a bug in downsizing it. The remedy (i thought) was to remove the 48px size icon for spacefm so that it can only load the smaller icon. Please show me the output from a terminal of:
find /usr/share/icons -name "spacefm*"
The other option to correct it is to open a terminal and issue:
killall razor-panel
It's up to luck if it loads again super big.

Do note, I am booted with my 2.1 save.dat file as extramod= so I can move my relevant files to 3.0's save.dat.
3.0's working power icon triggered the desire to upgrade for me.

I believe removing this icon should fix your problem with the panel starting in a large state.

Actually it happened twice today, once in Fresh Mode.

Renamed the icon, Xspacefm.png, and today when I booted 3.0 the panel is high! And it became hugh when I opened Firefox. BTW This not the first time I have booted 3.0 since renaming the icon.

After rebooting, and a normal panel height, I just noticed the panel grows abit when I open a Firefox window. And shrinks to normal when it closes. I don't recall this happening before.

Thanks. This confirms it is the way in which the icon is searched and subsequently resized. Hopefully it gets some love in the lxdeqt merger.

Even when it's not found?
BTW I rebooted to Fresh mode and it open high again. In that it only happens when booting and it's easy to correct without rebooting it's not a show stopper.
I think I should rename the icon back. Renaming it didn't fix the problem.
lxdeqt merger
?

If the search is for *spacefm.png my rename may not have worked as well as hoped for. Let me try a different name.
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/home/guest# cd /usr/share/icons/Faenza/apps/48/
root@porteus:/usr/share/icons/Faenza/apps/48# mv Xspacefm.png spaceXfm.png
Lets see how this variation works.

Both name changes will work the same. What happens is the system searches for the icon of this name. The first one it finds is 48px and it uses this one in the panel and downsizes it to fit. Somewhere therein lies the bug. Firefox no doubt also has various size icons and the same applies for this if you have a firefox icon in the panel.
RazorQT and LXDE are merging sometime soon (it has already begun) and so I am hoping this will be addressed. I will build what they have so far and test it.

I put together an Lxde-Qt desktop this morning from ponce's packages....seems really nice and a good combination of Lxde and RazorQt.
Still working out the glitches, but up to now, I really like it......no issues with the panel.

Well I can confirm the icon rename isn't the solution. I experienced the high panel this afternoon when booting.

A script that would move the task panel from the bottom to the top and then back to the bottom again might prove useful. Or one that switches it's location depending on where it is would work also,
