These are instructions for configuring tint2 directly by editing its config file. You may also use instead the graphical interface tint2conf.

The first time you run tint2, it will create the config file in $HOME/.config/tint2/tint2rc (This applies if you have done a clean install. Running tint2 in the source directory without doing ’make install’ will not create the config file.)

You can also specify another file on the command line with the -c option, e.g.: tint2 -c $HOME/tint2.conf. This can be used to run multiple instances of tint2 that use different settings.

If you change the config file while tint2 is running, the command killall -SIGUSR1 tint2 will force tint2 to reload it.

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.

The tint2 config file starts with the options defining background elements with borders:

• rounded = number_of_pixels : the corner radius
• border_width = integer : the border width in pixels
• border_sides = LRTB : the sides to draw the border on (left, right, top, bottom). If not specified, all sides are used. (since 0.12.12)
• background_color = color opacity
  • color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
  • opacity 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).
• border_color = color opacity
  • color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
  • opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully transparent, 100 is fully opaque
• background_color_hover = color opacity (default: same as background_color) (since 0.12.3)
  • color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
  • opacity 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)
• border_color_hover = color opacity (default: same as border_color) (since 0.12.3)
  • color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
  • opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully transparent, 100 is fully opaque
• background_color_pressed = color opacity (default: same as background_color_hover) (since 0.12.3)
  • color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
  • opacity 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)
• border_color_pressed = color opacity (default: same as border_color_hover) (since 0.12.3)
  • color is specified in hex RGB, e.g. #ff0000 is red
  • opacity varies from (0 to 100), where 0 is fully transparent, 100 is fully opaque
• border_content_tint_weight = integer : Mixes the border color with the content color (for tasks, this is the average color of the window icon). Values must be between 0 (no mixing) and 100 (fully replaces the color). (since 16.0)
• background_content_tint_weight = integer : Mixes the background color with the content color (for tasks, this is the average color of the window icon). Values must be between 0 (no mixing) and 100 (fully replaces the color). (since 16.0)

You can define as many backgrounds as you want. For example, the following config defines two backgrounds:

    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

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:

    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

Identifier 0 refers to a special background which is fully transparent, identifier 1 applies the first background defined in the config file etc.

(Available since 0.13.0)

Backgrounds also allow specifying gradient layers that are drawn on top of the solid color background.

First the user must define one or more gradients in the config file, each starting with gradient = TYPE. These must be added before backgrounds.

Then gradients can be added by index to backgrounds, using the gradient_id = INDEX, gradient_id_hover = INDEX and gradient_id_pressed = INDEX, where INDEX is the gradient index, starting from 1.

Gradients vary the color between fixed control points: * vertical gradients: top-to-bottom; * horizontal gradients: left-to-right; * radial gradients: center-to-corners.

The user must specify the start and end colors, and can optionally add extra color stops in between using the color_stop option, as explained below.

edge, two colors

    gradient = vertical
    start_color = #rrggbb opacity
    end_color = #rrggbb opacity

right edge, two colors

    gradient = horizontal
    start_color = #rrggbb opacity
    end_color = #rrggbb opacity

two colors:

    gradient = radial
    start_color = #rrggbb opacity
    end_color = #rrggbb opacity

between the start and end control points)

    color_stop = percentage #rrggbb opacity

    # Gradient 1: thin film effect
    gradient = horizontal
    start_color = #111122 30
    end_color = #112211 30
    color_stop = 60 #221111 30

    # Gradient 2: radial glow
    gradient = radial
    start_color = #ffffff 20
    end_color = #ffffff 0

    # Gradient 3: elegant black
    gradient = vertical
    start_color = #444444 100
    end_color = #222222 100

    # Gradient 4: elegant black
    gradient = horizontal
    start_color = #111111 100
    end_color = #222222 100

    # Background 1: Active desktop name
    rounded = 2
    border_width = 1
    border_sides = TBLR
    background_color = #555555 10
    border_color = #ffffff 60
    background_color_hover = #555555 10
    border_color_hover = #ffffff 60
    background_color_pressed = #555555 10
    border_color_pressed = #ffffff 60
    gradient_id = 3
    gradient_id_hover = 4
    gradient_id_pressed = 2

• panel_items = LTSBC defines the items tint2 will show and the order of those items. Each letter refers to an item, defined as:
  • L shows the Launcher
  • T shows the Taskbar
  • S shows the Systray (also called notification area)
  • B shows the Battery status
  • C shows the Clock
  • F adds an extensible spacer (freespace). You can specify more than one. Has no effect if T is also present. (since 0.12)
  • E adds an executor plugin. You can specify more than one. (since 0.12.4)
  • P adds a push button. You can specify more than one. (since 0.14)
  • : adds a separator. You can specify more than one. (since 0.13.0)

For example, panel_items = STC will show the systray, the taskbar and the clock (from left to right).

• panel_monitor = monitor (all or primary or 1 or 2 or ...) : Which monitor tint2 draws the panel on
  • The first monitor is 1
  • Use panel_monitor = all to get a separate panel per monitor
• primary_monitor_first = boolean (0 or 1) : Place the primary monitor before all the other monitors in the list. /(since 0.12.4; removed in 1.0, use /=primary= instead)

• panel_position = vertical_position horizontal_position orientation
  • vertical_position is one of: bottom, top, center
  • horizontal_position is one of: left, right, center
  • orientation is one of: horizontal, vertical
• panel_size = width height
  • width and height can be specified without units (e.g. 123) as pixels, or followed by % as percentages of the monitor size (e.g. 50%). Use 100% for full monitor width/height. Example:
• scale_relative_to_dpi = integer : If set to a non-zero value, HiDPI scaling is enabled. Each panel is visible on a different monitor. Thus each panel has a specific scaling factor. The scaling factor is computed as the ratio between the monitor DPI (obtained from the dimensions in pixels and millimeters from RandR) and a configured reference DPI - this is the DPI for which exising user configs looked normal, for backward compatibility.
• scale_relative_to_screen_height = integer : Similar to scale_relative_to_dpi, except the scaling factor is computed as the ratio between the monitor height and scale_relative_to_screen_height. The effect is cumulative with scale_relative_to_dpi, i.e. if both options are present, the factors are multiplied.

    # The panel's width is 94% the size of the monitor, the height is 30 pixels:
    panel_size = 94% 30

• panel_shrink = boolean (0 or 1) : If set to 1, the panel will shrink to a compact size dynamically. (since 0.13)
• panel_margin = horizontal_margin vertical_margin : The margins define the distance between the panel and the horizontal/vertical monitor edge. Use 0 to obtain a panel with the same size as the edge of the monitor (no margin).

[](images/panel/size/margin.jpg)

• panel_padding = horizontal_padding vertical_padding spacing : Please refer to the image below.

[](images/panel_padding.jpg)

• font_shadow = boolean (0 or 1)
• panel_background_id = integer : Which background to use for the panel.
• wm_menu = boolean (0 or 1) : 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.
• panel_dock = boolean (0 or 1) : Defines if tint2 is placed into the window manager’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).
• panel_pivot_struts = boolean (0 or 1) : Defines if tint2 lies to the window manager about its orientation (horizontal vs vertical) when requesting reserved space with STRUTs (see strut_policy below). On some window managers, this allows placing a panel in the middle of the virtual screen, e.g. on the bottom edge of the top monitor in a vertical dual-monitor setup.
• panel_layer = bottom/normal/top : 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.
• strut_policy = follow_size/minimum/none : STRUTs are used by the window manager to decide the size of maximized windows. Note: on multi-monitor (Xinerama) setups, the panel generally must be placed at the edge (not in the middle) of the virtual screen for this to work correctly (though on some window managers, setting panel_pivot_struts may work around this limitation).
  • follow_size means that the maximized windows always resize to have a common edge with tint2.
  • minimum means that the maximized windows always expand to have a common edge with the hidden panel. This is useful if the autohide option is enabled.
  • none means that the maximized windows use the full screen size.
• panel_window_name = string : Defines the name of the panel’s window. Default: ’tint2’. (since 0.12)

• launcher_item_app = path_to_application : Each launcher_item_app must be a file path to a .desktop file following the freedesktop.org specification ⟨http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html⟩. The paths may begin with ~, which is expanded to the path of the user’s home directory. If only a file name is specified, the file is search in the standard application directories ($XDG_DATA_HOME/applications, ~/.local/share/applications, $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications, /usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications, /opt/share/applications).
• launcher_apps_dir = path_to_directory : Specifies a path to a directory from which the launcher is loading all .desktop files (all subdirectories are explored recursively).

The possible mouse events are: left, middle, right, scroll_up, scroll_down.

The possible mouse actions are: none, close, toggle, iconify, shade, toggle_iconify, maximize_restore, desktop_left, desktop_right, next_task, prev_task.

Use mouse_event = action to customize mouse actions. Example: mouse_middle = none mouse_right = close mouse_scroll_up = toggle mouse_scroll_down = iconify

The action semantics:

* none : If wm_menu = 1 is set, the mouse event is forwarded to the window manager. Otherwise it is ignored. * close : close the task * toggle : toggle the task * iconify : iconify (minimize) the task * toggle_iconify : toggle or iconify the task * maximize_restore : maximized or minimized the task * shade

shades (collapses) the task * =desktop_left= : send the task to the

desktop on the left * desktop_right : send the task to the desktop on the right * next_task : send the focus to next task * prev_task

send the focus to previous task
