Desktop Panel Replacement

Post#1 by blue4meridian » 02 Apr 2015, 17:47

Salutations... :good:

...:unknown:
If I install KWin (window manager) and wBar (application dock)
then remove LxQt (panel?)... will I have a new desktop or a bricked (hosed) one?

Best Regards... :beer:

Salutations... :good:

I finally set up LxQt/Compiz (Kwin?).
It didn't hose LxQt but I'm having problems setting up "tint2" taskbar/panel. :wall:
My intention is to disable LxPanel and use tint2 and wBar.

Best Regards... :beer:

And what about your friend google. As there are few information about lxqt you can try lxde as keyword instead. I will be glad to read your progress. I know nothing about compiz.

Note:
How should I ask questions linux wise or on porteus forum:

Tint2 it a task/menu panel... wbar is a launcher. :wink:
My idea is to use 'tint2' as a 'hidden' HUD on top.
With wbar on the bottom to launch popular apps.

Because lxpanel doesn't 'hide' (yet?)... :wall:
I'm trying to use tint2 (it can be hidden) and wbar to replace it.



Best Regards... :beer:

@blue4meridian,

To hide LXPanel, /Panel Preferences/Advanced/Automatic hiding

check Minimize panel when not in use

Hmmm... Mate panel? Sounds like a plan. :wink:
Actually... I'm not trying to use 2 panels I'm trying to replace LxQt panel.

I use the Tint2 Panel above and the Xfce4-panel below on my Openbox Distros (Arch and Debian based).

The LX DE's (LXDE & LXQt) use Openbox and both Xfce and the LX DE's are modular so I assume it would work.

I am downloading an LXQt build to try it and will report on the results here.

@ dhinds... sounds like a plan. I hope it works. It would be better than waiting forever for the LxQt devs.
