Peppermint XFCE panel: nm-applet not shwing tooltips

Hi there,

apologies if the question has already been answered somewhere, but I have searched extensively without result.
I am currently using peppermint 7 with xfce and nm-applet. However, the mouseover shows no tooltip.
I wish to show the wifi connection strength end wireless device or  the ethernet device or a "no connection" message (whichever is the case).

Is it possible at all?

Thanks

Colosseum

I get those automatically with Xfce 4.12 and nm-applet 1.0.8.

What versions do you have installed?


MX-23 (based on Debian Stable) with our flagship Xfce 4.18.

Jerry,

Things are not so simple with Peppermint: it uses LXDE as graphical desktop but the panel is XFCE ... so a few things do not seem to work simple "out of the box".

In short, Peppermint 7 panel is build upon xfce4-panel (4.12) and nm-applet 1.0.8 and yet I get no tooltips.

I was only hoping to see if anyone else in this forum had used Peppermint 7 and found a solution for it. I asked in the Peppermint forum, but they do not seem to know why things do not work.

I changed the title to make the issue clearer
