[SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

Recently, the menu bar takes three seconds before disappearing.
It seems to me that auto-masking was instantaneous until then ...

Is it possible to remove this delay somewhere?

Thank you in advance to the person who could help me.

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

Which menu are you referring to?
Also, which version of Xfce are you running?

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

I think the OP is referring to the Panel. And I suspect Automatically hide the panel may have been changed from Always to Intelligently in the Panel Preferences. I don't use those, so it's just a guess.

Oops sorry I meant "panels" :-/

I have XFCE4 (4.16.0-1) and Xfwm4 (4.16.1-1) under Artix Linux openrc.
I am using three panels.

In the "Pannel Preferences", for "Automatically hide panel" 2 and 3, I chose "Never".

When I hover the mouse over panel 2 or 3 it appears. But when I move the cursor away, the panel doesn't disappear right away; it remains visible for two to three seconds, which is often annoying.

I looked for a possible configuration file to remove this delay, but couldn't find one.

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

Haha, I'm now thoroughly confused. I would have thought Never would prevent them from hiding ever.

Have you tried setting to Always or Intelligently to see if there's a difference?

Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here.

Still sorry, it's "Always" that I meant (I'm French).

Indeed, the "Intelligently" mode has a shorter persistence time and I will use it while waiting to know how to remove the persistence time from the "Always" mode.

Thank you !

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

You can set popup and popdown delay values. Put the following in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (and restart the panel "xfce4-panel -r" for it to take effect):

#XfcePanelWindow {
   -XfcePanelWindow-popup-delay: 400;
   -XfcePanelWindow-popdown-delay: 2500;
}

...the lower the values the less the delay.

Ah, it's magic 8-)
It's like the color of DateTime.
Thank you so much !

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

Tried that solution, did not help:

$ cat .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
#XfcePanelWindow {
   -XfcePanelWindow-popup-delay: 400;
   -XfcePanelWindow-popdown-delay: 400;
}

and logged out / logged in back. The popdown action is still delayed too much for my taste.

What am I doing wrong? BTW I'm on XFCE 4.16 FreeBSD 13 RC3

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

I put :
#XfcePanelWindow {
    -XfcePanelWindow-popup-delay: 0;
    -XfcePanelWindow-popdown-delay: 0;
}
But there is always a little latency; as it always has been, it seems to me.

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

Try these as well (in addition to):

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-2/popdown-speed -t int -s 0 --create
xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-2/popup-speed -t int -s 0 --create

...where "panel-2" is the actual panel ID.

Re: [SOLVED] Timed hiding of the panel

Hooray, it worked after I put zeros everywhere, cleared the cache:

rm -rf ~/.cache

and logged out and back in.

Thanks a lot!

With these two command lines, it's perfect. 8-)
On the other hand, I did not understand which file was modified ...

An xfconf configuration file. Ultimately, it would be ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml (once the settings is saved). More info on xfconf starting here.

I found and saw in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml  the line:
   

   </property>
       <property name = "popdown-speed" type = "int" value = "0" />

Thanks for link. 8-)
