Thanks, I implemented your suggestion and changed the scroll_wait_interval
. I don't really plan on having scrolling text so it's not an issue for me.
One more question though, I can't seem to center the bar. I tried putting
spacers with not specified length on the bar but it didn't work. Is there
any way to center the widget?
