Ok please forget that. I see your code:

gtk_window_set_keep_below(GTK_WINDOW(win), TRUE);

The problem appears to be on my end. Probably between the seat and the keyboard.

When using gtkdialog in openbox I can assign a certain dialog to a bottom layer in the openbox rc.xml file. This would look like this: <application title="MyWindow"> <layer>below</layer> <desktop>all</desktop> </application> When opened, this gtkdialog app (with <window title="MyWindo...

Keeping a gtkdialog app 'always on top' I've just read that this is possible in jwm using the .jwmrc file and launching the gtkdialog as a --class=APPLET. Is there an inbuilt way to do the same in openbox? This could probably be achieved with other methods inside the openbox rc.xml file but I am won...

Thanks folks. I'll take a look at these options.

Apologies for the ncero bump but this is the relevant thread. I am looking for a tailbox that scrolls when full and always shows the tailing lines. Rather like the terminal widget as it outputs, the viewer sees the last lines. The current tailbox I have creates a scroller when full, but stays viewin...

I should have explained more clearly, sorry. There is a set of buttons at the bottom of the application. They are static and exist to move from one notebook page to the next. Like a back button. While the notebook pages may change, these buttons stay where they are all the time. For this reason they...

Ok I got it. Since the button I want to vanish is created after the other widgets, they can't do what I want since the button doesn't exist at the point when they are created. I need to have a widget somewhere in the code AFTER the button I want to vanish. Makes sense. <vbox margin="10"> <...

I want the button to be visible until a certain 'notebook' page is shown. So what I need is something similar to an "onshow" parameter for one of the widgets. When the widget is shown, the button vanishes. The original state of the button should be visible so this attribute is no good for ...

I am trying to hide a button on a 'notebook' page when the page is shown. The page has the an entry widget and radiobutton widgets (as well as the button). I can't seem to get the button to hide using signal="show" for any widgets. It hides OK if i put the action into a radiobutton 'if tru...

Thought i would post about the downloader with progress bar downloading from sourceforge. To get the proper file name use:

wget --trust-server-names --no-check-certificate $url

Nice little downloader gui too

Thanks very much. Your gtkdesklet seems to remain on the desktop layer and doesn't come to the front when clicked which is exactly what i need! Now i just need to scour your code to see what makes it stay there. I am using the gtkdesklet applet but my applet doesn't behave in the manner i want (stay...

I cut my teeth on a C64. I remember the 20min load times from an external cassette reader for some games like ghost busters. Good times. I'd like to know if it is possible to launch a gtkdialog app and have it always underneath all other apps, as opposed to always on top? I mean to say if i click th...

Not having much luck trying to decompress squashfs using lzma2. I can think of a great reason to want to use mksquashfs on windows. An installer. I am currently building an installer that allows widnows users to build there custom portable linux distro by downloading a base, unpacking it, downloadin...

Thanks. This works for me.

Ok maybe i'm missing something or my mother dropped me on my head when i was little. I managed to get gtk2desklet to use a gtkrc file by exporting the environment variable DESKLET_GTKRC_FILES. The following is the only combination of launching the app that worked and used the gtkrc file. gtkdialog -...

Thanks. Looks like i was on the right track with a gtkrc file ... however i wasn't aware of the gtk2desklet variable. Will plug away at it.

Is it possible to get the transparency even during the mouseover?

find a file on your system something like /root/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini
In it there is a setting `ShowHidden=false`. Change it to true.

Yes. That's what i was looking for. Thanks very much. I didn't even realize a config file was created!

Thanks. I guess what i really meant is 'Is it possible to have .dir visible by default?'
