Re: [rox-devel] pinboard patche

[a a <mai...@ya...>]

I too run Oroborus with ROX and fspanel.  I run
version 1.14.0 stable and found that I could get rid
of the problem of the pinboard icons appearing on
fspanel by launching ROX with the -o option.

To get rid of the problem of the Oroborus managed
windows appearing beneath the pinboard icons, I
commented out the line :

LAYER     = -DLAYER_SUPPORT

to be

LAYER     = #-DLAYER_SUPPORT

in the make file.  This solves the problem, unless you
right double-click to send the window to the back, in
which case it goes behind the rox icons again :-/

I much prefer using the latest Oroborus 2.0.4 version,
but I cannot find an equivalent setting to the LAYER
one anywhere, so am stuck with the windows being
behind the  pinboard icons....

I use Oroburus because I found it to be the fastest
and lightest weight window manager that doesn't look
appalling.  On my low spec machine (P166, 64Mb ram) I
found using sawfish was too slow with ROX, as whenever
a window was dragged over the pinboard icons, it would
get too jerky.  Oroborus improved this.

This leads me to ask (in my ignorance of X) is there a
faster, more lightweight way to represent icons on the
pinboard?  Rather than having a root window with each
icon being another window, couldn't the pinboard be
some form of full screen filer window?
