gKrellm, xmms2, esperanza, width of panel for volume control

Post by woodsmoke »

Hi
As I mentioned in another thread, my particular LXDE is sitting atop a Kubuntu variant.
I use XMMS2 as a music client through gKrellm(which is a "stack" of monitors" for the computer, mail, cpu useage, etc.).
And, for the last few months I've been using Esperanza as the client for displaying tracks etc.
Just as a note:
gKrellm was not in the Kubuntu repositories, but when I typed in XMMS2 it provided the normal list and the gKrellmXMMS2 clients, so I downloaded everything along with Esperanza and everything works fine.

Two comments:
a) the monitor display which appears "normal", I have a Viewsonic wide screen LCD, displays gKrellm as "more wide than usual". Otherwise everything is normal.
b) the volume control in the panel did not "just appear" in a section of the panel. It takes up about 5 inches of real estate on the right hand side, which is rather unusual to me, this may or may not be of note for developers.

EDIT< EDIT< EDIT, for those who read this before, I did not realize that by ticking the volume control box that it was "stretching" the panel, so unticked the panel is now normal.

Thanks for the great work!

In the next release we have removed the check box for stretching panel applets so it is only available for Taskbar and Spacer.

Sounds good, however what would be BETTER is for ME to READ the title of the tick boxes! :lol: No one's fault but mine.
