I have installed the most recent Pager to ROX-2.0.0. It looks and works fine when invoked as an app. It also look fine when installed in a ROX panel on the bottom, but when the panel is on the left it is squished to just a few pixels tall. I prefer the panel on the left 'cause I use a virtual screen larger than the physical screen. Is this fixable by me? |

Greetings, As a rsult of some discussion last week I decided to change from using kwin to icewm for one user - just to make sure that everything still worked as advertised. Apart from a different couple of screen messages on boot-up, I find that Pager no longer worked under icewm - but works happily under kwin. The interesting thing, however, is that bringing up the Pager menu shows that it is aware of other windows open under icewm - but doesn't render tha miniature window in the desktop pane. Is this a window manager configuration thing - or is it a Pager problem? Keith -- City Desk Waikato University [PGP key available if desired] |

That is a icewm problem. It is not fully netwm compliant. KWin 4 is.

The only one I have time to read is :Obsolete Option TitleBarCentred > I don't get that problem here. What versions are you using? I am on icewm 1.2.13 and libwnck 2.2.1 (the library used by pager). The version of pager I am on is still the cvs version dated 26-Aug-2003. I use the same - the latest versions I picked up about three weeks ago. The Pager window opens as a one-pixel wide grey entity - dragging to re-size brings up single grey window with nothing in it - despite there being four work-areas - no matter how I change betwen them I get nothing shown on the blank pager window! Since I only have a 15" screen I find that I need something like Pager to remind me what is on each work-area for ready switching.

There are indeed four workspaces defined in my preferences file and pager is configured 2 x 2. Thanks for the suggestion, therefore, but it still leaves me with pager 'grey-space'.

The SUSE RPM versions I could find were all quite old (1.2.9 etc). Did you compile it from source? Ah! I wonder whether that was the problem - I just picked up the RPM and, since it worked as a window manager i never thought it was out of date. When I get somr more time I will find and build the latest to see what happens. Thanks for your help! Keith -- City Desk Waikato University [PGP key available if desired] |

Hi everyone, Im experiencing a weird problem with the pager its like there are 4 ports in each desktop. Ive searched for a fix and found a link to some patch .. however this patch is already included in the Gentoo distro for the libwnck. I tried to recompile both the lib and the pager without much success of fixing the problem. Anyone knows of some fix to this problem ? I made a little video of the problem, (~400kb ) http://ikaro.dk/pager.mpeg nuno |

Change 100, 20 to the minimum width and height you want (and yes, the pager really should detect what kind of panel it's on).

No, you'd have to put it in a frame of some kind (GtkAlignment or GtkAspectFrame, etc). -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net ta...@ec... ta...@us...

For this to work properly (and this should include the panel sizing,) you have to make two changes to Thomas' source. 1) Swap the two values in the line which specifies the size. This allows the pager to size to the default panel. 2) Change the pager width to 4 or whatever number of workspaces you have. On a 4 workspace system this stacks them top to bottom. In the source I have this is line 202 and will look like this when finished. gtk_widget_set_size_request(toplevel, 20, 100); and line 220 which will look like this. wnck_pager_set_n_rows(WNCK_PAGER(pager), 4); make clean && make in the pager source directory and then you should be all set. I tried this on my system and it works fine on a side panel. FWIW, it should be fairly easy to make the pager accept command line options if you need it to work both ways. Mike T. |

The sizes could be defines or passed via command line option or even a data file. See my other post regarding this for the appropriate source code lines. Mike T. |

The changes mentioned in this thread will perform exactly as you requested in the original mail and required no gtk coding. As mentioned in my other mail, I verified this and whether the pager grows to match the panel's width to match. Yes, it does. Whether or not you decide to use this method or my ideas is your choice. I assumed that you needed a fix for this situation now instead of after you spent the time to learn how to use the gtk routines. I can see very little reason for making the pager code more complex, but that's just my opinion. Lot's of luck, Mike T. |

My second question was refering to explicitily setting the height of the pager, as it currently stretches to the height of the panel Thomas pointed me to the functions i would probally have to add and i was just mentioning that i would have to learn how they worked, so i could have a go at implementing them > Lot's of luck, > Mike T.
