Re: xfdashboard stop zentile

Probably a zentile bug. See: https://github.com/blrsn/zentile/issues/23. It looks like it has an option to ignore windows in its config file if you want zentile to simply ignore xfdashboard if it causing issues.

Probably a zentile bug. See: https://github.com/blrsn/zentile/issues/23. It looks like it has an option to ignore windows in its config file if you want zentile to simply ignore xfdashboard if it causing issues.

there is no option can ignore app:
# Window decorations will be removed if set to true
remove_decorations = false

# Adds spacing between windows
gap = 0

# How much to increment the master area size.
proportion = 0.1

[keybindings]
# key sequences can have zero or more modifiers and exactly one key.
# example: Control-Shift-t has two modifiers and one key.
# You can view which keys activate which modifier using the 'xmodmap' program.
# Key symbols can be found by pressing keys using the 'xev' program

# Tile the current workspace.
tile = "Control-Shift-t"

# Untile the current workspace.
untile = "Control-Shift-u"

# Make the active window as master.
make_active_window_master = "Control-Shift-m"

# Increase number of masters.
increase_master = "Control-Shift-i"

# Decrease the number of masters.
decrease_master = "Control-Shift-d"

# Cycles through the available layouts.
switch_layout = "Control-Shift-s"

# Moves focus to the next window.
next_window = "Control-Shift-n"

# Moves focus to the previous window.
previous_window = "Control-Shift-p"

# Increases the size of the master windows.
increment_master = "Control-bracketright"

# Decreases the size of the master windows.
decrement_master = "Control-bracketleft"

Re: xfdashboard stop zentile

The source code suggests there is:

# Zentile will ignore windows added to this list.
# You'll have to add WM_CLASS property of the window you want ignored.
# You can get WM_CLASS property of a window, by running "xprop WM_CLASS" and clicking on the window.
# ignore = ['ulauncher', 'gnome-screenshot']

In your case, try adding the following:

ignore = ['xfdashboard']

I'm using the executable release, I added that line in the config.tomal, but not working, i don't know if that because of executable version doesn't has that options in it's code, or xfdashboard has other problems
I tried to install the source compile version, but i can't install it

Re: xfdashboard stop zentile

Well, the executable is compiled from the source code.

Anyway, try restarting zentile. I don't know how it works but some programs need to be restarted in order to reread their updated initialization files.
