--- Begin Message ---Package: fbpanel Version: 7.0-4 Severity: normal Hello! I finally managed to convince fbpanel to have a width computed as the screen width minus a fixed length (275 pixels). The relevant options in ~/.config/fbpanel/default are: Global { edge = bottom allign = right xmargin = 275 widthtype = pixel width = 30000 [...] } The widthtype must be "pixel" and the width must be set to a number greater than any foreseeable screen width. This is something that I have wanted to obtain for a long time, because the alternative strategy is rather inconvenient: setting a fixed width which is manually computed (by me!) as, say, 1325 pixels (which is 1600 - 275), but has to be different for each distinct screen resolution! Why did it take so long for me to do this? Because I had been trying to play with the margin option, which had apparently no effect. The fact is that the documentation (/usr/share/doc/fbpanel/README.gz) states: [...] | * Margin - margin from screen edge for left or right allignment. Legal values are numbers. | Default is 0. [...] However, the program ignores any margin option and reads xmargin (and ymargin) instead. I had to dig into the source, in order to figure it out: see function calculate_width() in panel/misc.c and function panel_parse_global() in panel/panel.c ... I guess this is an issue with incorrect (or perhaps out of date) documentation. Please fix the documentation and/or forward my bug report upstream, as appropriate. Thanks for your time.
