<h3 id="introduction">Introduction<a name="introduction" href="#introduction" class="md2man-permalink" title="permalink"></a></h3><p>These are instructions for configuring tint2 directly by editing its config file.
You may also use instead the graphical interface <code>tint2conf</code>.</p><p>The first time you run tint2, it will create the config file in <code>$HOME/.config/tint2/tint2rc</code> (This applies if you have done a clean install. Running tint2 in the source directory without doing &#39;make install&#39; will not create the config file.)</p><p>You can also specify another file on the command line with the -c option, e.g.: <code>tint2 -c $HOME/tint2.conf</code>. This can be used to run multiple instances of tint2 that use different settings.</p><p>If you change the config file while tint2 is running, the command <code>killall -SIGUSR1 tint2</code> will force tint2 to reload it.</p><p>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.</p><h3 id="backgrounds-and-borders">Backgrounds and borders<a name="backgrounds-and-borders" href="#backgrounds-and-borders" class="md2man-permalink" title="permalink"></a></h3><p>The tint2 config file starts with the options defining background elements with borders:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>rounded = number_of_pixels</code> : the corner radius</p></li>
<li><p><code>border_width = integer</code> : the border width in pixels</p></li>
<li><p><code>border_sides = LRTB</code> : the sides to draw the border on (left, right, top, bottom). If not specified, all sides are used.</p></li>
<li><p><code>background_color = color opacity</code></p>
<ul>
<li><code>color</code> is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red</li>
<li><code>opacity</code> 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).</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>border_color = color opacity</code></p>
<ul>
<li><code>color</code> is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red</li>
<li><code>opacity</code> varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully transparent, 100 is fully opaque</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>background_color_hover = color opacity</code> (default: same as background_color) <em>(since 0.12.3)</em></p>
<ul>
<li><code>color</code> is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red</li>
<li><code>opacity</code> 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)</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>border_color_hover = color opacity</code> (default: same as border_color) <em>(since 0.12.3)</em></p>
<ul>
<li><code>color</code> is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red</li>
<li><code>opacity</code> varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully transparent, 100 is fully opaque</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>background_color_pressed = color opacity</code> (default: same as background<em>color</em>hover) <em>(since 0.12.3)</em></p>
<ul>
<li><code>color</code> is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red</li>
<li><code>opacity</code> 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)</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>border_color_pressed = color opacity</code> (default: same as border<em>color</em>hover) <em>(since 0.12.3)</em></p>
<ul>
<li><code>color</code> is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red</li>
<li><code>opacity</code> varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully transparent, 100 is fully opaque</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>You can define as many backgrounds as you want. For example, the following config defines two backgrounds:</p><pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>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
</code></pre>
<p>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:</p><pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>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
</code></pre>
<p>Identifier 0 refers to a special background which is fully transparent, identifier 1 applies the first background defined in the config file etc.</p><h3 id="panel">Panel<a name="panel" href="#panel" class="md2man-permalink" title="permalink"></a></h3>
<ul>
<li><p><code>panel_items = LTSBC</code> defines the items tint2 will show and the order of those items. Each letter refers to an item, defined as:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>L</code> shows the Launcher</li>
<li><code>T</code> shows the Taskbar</li>
<li><code>S</code> shows the Systray (also called notification area)</li>
<li><code>B</code> shows the Battery status</li>
<li><code>C</code> shows the Clock</li>
<li><code>F</code> adds an extensible spacer (freespace). Has no effect if <code>T</code> is also present. <em>(since 0.12)</em></li>
<li><code>E</code> adds an executor plugin. You can specify more than one. <em>(since 0.12.4)</em></li>
</ul>
<p>For example, <code>panel_items = STC</code> will show the systray, the taskbar and the clock (from left to right).</p></li>
<li><p><code>panel_monitor = monitor (all or 1 or 2 or ...)</code> : Which monitor tint2 draws the panel on</p>
<ul>
<li>The first monitor is <code>1</code></li>
<li>Use <code>panel_monitor = all</code> to get a separate panel per monitor</li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>primary_monitor_first = boolean (0 or 1)</code> : Place the primary monitor before all the other monitors in the list. <em>(since 0.12.4)</em></p></li>
</ul>
<p><img src="panel_padding.jpg" alt=""></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>panel_position = vertical_position horizontal_position orientation</code></p>
<ul>
<li><code>vertical_position</code> is one of: <code>bottom</code>, <code>top</code>, <code>center</code></li>
<li><code>horizontal_position</code> is one of: <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>center</code></li>
<li><code>orientation</code> is one of: <code>horizontal</code>, <code>vertical</code></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p><code>panel_size = width height</code></p>
<ul>
<li><code>width</code> and <code>height</code> can be specified without units (e.g. <code>123</code>) as pixels, or followed by <code>%</code> as percentages of the monitor size (e.g. <code>50%</code>). Use <code>100%</code> for full monitor width/height.
Example:</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code># The panel's width is 94% the size of the monitor, the height is 30 pixels:
panel_size = 94% 30
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li><code>panel_margin = horizontal_margin vertical_margin</code> : The margins define the distance between the panel and the horizontal/vertical monitor edge. Use <code>0</code> to obtain a panel with the same size as the edge of the monitor (no margin).</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="panel_size_margin.jpg" alt=""></p>
<ul>
<li><code>panel_padding = horizontal_padding vertical_padding spacing</code> : Please refer to the image below.</li>

<li><p><code>panel_background_id = integer</code> : Which background to use for the panel.</p></li>
<li><p><code>wm_menu = boolean (0 or 1)</code> : 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.</p></li>
<li><p><code>panel_dock = boolean (0 or 1)</code> : Defines if tint2 is placed into the window manager&#39;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).</p></li>
<li><p><code>panel_layer = bottom/normal/top</code> : 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.</p></li>
<li><p><code>strut_policy = follow_size/minimum/none</code> : STRUTs are used by the window manager to decide the size of maximized windows. Note: on multi-monitor (Xinerama) setups, the panel must be placed at the edge (not in the middle) of the virtual screen for this to work correctly.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>follow_size</code> means that the maximized windows always resize to have a common edge with tint2.</li>
<li><code>minimum</code> means that the maximized windows always expand to have a common edge with the hidden panel. This is useful if the <code>autohide</code> option is enabled.</li>
<li><code>none</code> means that the maximized windows use the full screen size.</li>
</ul></li>
