[SOLVED] disable tooltip genmon plugin ?

Hi.

there is a method to disable the tooltip of the genmon plugin of xfce?

View in large

without using the method
echo "<tool></tool>"

which adds a line or follows it (which gives something like this)

View in large

a method through gtk.css but only for genmon is it possible?

In the near or distant future, an option to genmon to be able to disable tooltips is envisaged?
it would be very practical for those who have no use of tooltips for genmon

I use xfce 4.14 for information !

thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] disable tooltip genmon plugin ?

It should do it already if you add "<tool></tool>" to the output string. Example:

echo "<txt>test</txt><tool></tool>"

The fact that its showing up in your panel means that it hasn't been properly set. Can you post back the command that you are using?

My value in the bash script was like this !

echo "my_text"
echo "<tool></tool>"

But indeed, using your example, the tooltip is no longer present when the mouse passes, and I don't have any weird output in the panel, everything is perfect

Really sorry for the inconvenience and for having opened a topic for so little, I'm stupid....

Thanks

No worries.

Just to note, everything should be enclosed in tags - even the output. For your particular example, the following would also work:

echo "<txt>my_text</txt>"
echo "<tool></tool>"

Re: [SOLVED] disable tooltip genmon plugin ?

I remember that you have to put the tags so that everything is taken into account, and that it is coherent

I've just modified my script like this, and indeed it works as well

echo "<txt>my_text</txt>"
echo "<tool></tool>"

Thanks for the clarification ^^
