wingpanel's Issues

ctrl + tab should cycle indicators

We should be able to cycle through indicators with ctrl + tab (the tab switch shortcut)

Wingpanel items not always open/close when clicking the corner or edge of the screen

The Wingpanel is supposed to obey Fitts's law. For instance, the Application menu should open not only when the user clicked directly the "Application" label, but also when clicked the screen corner or edge next to the label.
This behavior works in ~50% of the cases, i.e. sometimes clicking the screen corner or edge does not cause any effect. Clicking again couple of times, even without moving the mouse, would finally trigger the desired action (open/close Application menu, open/close date and time widget etc.)

Also, compare https://bugs.launchpad.net/wingpanel/+bug/1380366

Wingpanel doesn't show up in any workspace other than workspace 1 in Openbox

As titled, when launching Wingpanel from a pure Openbox session, it only shows up in Workspace 1.

Subsequent maximised windows in other workspaces would fill the space where Wingpanel should be.

Wingpanel & indicators not navigable by keyboard

(Wasn't sure whether this issue belongs to the indicators or Wingpanel in general; please let me know if this is the wrong place for it!)

A minor annoyance I keep running into: I can't use the keyboard to navigate through Wingpanel indicator menus, or between indicators. (The network indicator is an exception—you can use tab to go through the list of available wireless networks, though not to connect/disconnect from them.)

Expected behaviour: on clicking on an indicator and bringing up its menu, you should be able to use the arrow/tab/space keys to select and perform actions on menu items, e. g. picking a different keyboard layout or opening up the settings application.

Notification icons not rendering properly

not sure if this is the right repo for it, maybe wingpanel doesn't handle notifications at all. But, here's a bug I've been noticing in the update notifications for the past few days.

What additional details would you require to debug?

Regards

Blacked effect doesn't work properly with two screens

I have my laptop plugged to an external monitor via VGA. Wingpanel (placed on my laptop's screen) only dims out when I maximize a window on my external monitor. The desired behavior in my view would be to dim it out only when a window is maximize where wingpanel is.

Notice that it does not matter at all whether a window is maximized on the laptop's screen or not.

Use Palette API

We could set a dark or light color for the panel based on the wallpaper, using the upcoming Granite.Palette.

Depends on the Granite release with the new Palette API

Indicator dropdowns do not always open downwards

Indicator dropdowns sometimes (I cannot find a reproducibility pattern) open in some other direction than downwards).

Mouse gestures for switching pages

even if i use elementary a lot, every time i open the appLauncher i'm trying to switch to next/previous page by holding down mouse and pushing on right/left

is it possible to add some gestures onWingpanel appLauncher, since it feels a natural way to navigate?

Crash with third-party Ayatana indicators

I still cannot find that why it is happening but wing panel crashing randomly, I can notice it when time do not change and I can't click anywhere of panel. At this time, wing panel can use %25 CPU and I've to end wing panel process and let it start itself.

[New Feature] Make wingpanel panel opaque when something is in fullscreen mode.

Hi.

I just thought that this would be something cool to have on Elementary.

Imagine the following situation:

• Since you have a dark wallpaper, the wingpanel is in transparent mode.

• Terminal is open in fullscreen.

• You open pantheon-files in the foreground.

• The wingpanel is visible, but since is transparent you can't distinguish between what is in the wingpanel and what is in fullscreen on the background.

If the wingpanel turned opaque when something is in fullscreen, you would be able to see the information on the wingpanel.

There is something like this on the theme css file for maximized windows.

Space between icons in Wingpanel (Intel graphics)

When I switch to Intel graphics, there are spaces between the icons, like this:

But everything is normal for Nvidia:

My system:

elementaryOS 0.4.1 stable
Intel i7-7700HQ
Intel HD Graphics 630
NVidia Quadro M1200

Frequently freezes after interacting with the Applications menu or indicators

(This is a followup to something I posted about on Google+ here, following the advice of @cassidyjames .)

I am using the stable release of elementary OS 0.4 Loki for the past couple of days now, and the only major issue I have run into is frequent freezing from Wingpanel. This seems to start only after I sometimes click on the Applications menu or one of the indicators, in which case the panel freezes and nothing happens. Occasionally, I will also get a popup window telling me that Wingpanel is unresponsive and asking me if I want to force quit it. Sometimes if I continue using other parts of my desktop normally after the issue starts, the whole desktop will become unresponsive to input (i.e., can still move the mouse cursor, but cannot click anything).

If I then log into a tty and issue the following command:

killall wingpanel

...Wingpanel of course goes away, but at least the rest of my desktop becomes responsive again. Wingpanel might come back again after several moments, at which point it behaves normally again until the issue reoccurs in several minutes to half an hour or so.

A few additional notes:

• It should be noted that I am using a Logitech mouse and solar keyboard with the Unifying wireless receiver, but I have not installed the Solaar app yet.
• I did check the ISO's sha256sum after downloading it, and installed it using UNetbootin with a USB flash drive as per the installation instructions.
• This is on a desktop computer with a 64-bit Intel processor and integrated Intel graphics.
• I downloaded the latest updates through AppCenter and rebooted my machine, which did not seem to help.

I can provide additional information regarding my setup as requested.

Fallback theming for those that don't want to use the elementary theme

When using a theme that isn't the Elementary GTK theme, panel indicator menus appear with blurred text backgrounds, stray lines between elements, and other horrible ugliness.

I know that this is likely an issue related to Granite, but it would be nice if you could have some sort of visually acceptable fallback for themes that don't support Granite elements.

It's certainly easier than every GTK theme developer writing Granite-compliant additions to their theme.

If there's anything I can help with on this, I'm happy to give it a go. I don't have the time to do the work alone though.

Clicking blank space on a popover closes it

It looks like #63 may have caused a problem. Clicking any blank/non-interactive space on any popover (except applications menu for some reason) in the panel now closes that popover.

To reproduce:

• Open Sound indicator
• Click the volume icon
• Popover closes

Wingpanel crashing with string_contains: assertion 'self != NULL' failed

since last Friday, my wingpanel (and settings) are crashing. I didn't change OS in any way except some OS updates. I tried several fixes found on stackexchange, reddit and bug reports including:

Probably out of place here, but 'Super + Escape' or another combination, should open the End Session Dialogue, this combined with a keyboard navigable end session dialogue would make it possible to use the system in mouseless workflow.

Two hr lines left in battery pop up menu when backlight slider isn't available

On some systems the backlight slider in the battery pop up menu could be not available because the GPU driver lacks support of /sys/class/backlight/interface especially this could happen with NVIDIA proprietary driver.

This could be OK, because the backlight can be still controlled using xbacklight utility.
The user still can bind it's media keys to control the backlight (which is sadly quite bit hacky on eOS because we can't set one key binding in System Settings app) and can live without the default controller.

What I want to highlight is that when the slider isn't showed in it's place there are two horizontal lines left. First one usually sits above the slider and last under the slider. This makes the UI bit ugly and it gives the user a feel that there is still something missing.

Can this be fixed in way that when the slider isn't available just don't show one of the horizontal lines, probably the first one - completely hide the backlight block with the opening horizntal line?

Panel Freze

The panel at the top contains some icons like notification, sound etc. After booting from a USB flash drive in a live session, the panel seems to be completely unclickable. When I wanted to shutdown the computer, I tried to click on the shutdown button but nothing happens at all. The panel was completely not usable then.

Hope you will fix this as soon as possible. Can't wait to see the stable release.

Auto-hide wingpanel

Maybe it would be possible to integrate a auto-hide function for the next version of elementary OS ?

Thus the applications could be displayed in full screen mode.

Best regards.

wingpanel: Indicator menus have incorrect window type

It may not an issue for Gala, but all the indicators displayed by wingpanel inherit its window type and class.

I used sleep 4; xprop to check on slingshot, ayatana indicators, and the native indicators; they all have:
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "wingpanel", "Wingpanel"

Inheriting the class is fine, but I'd prefer if the indicator menus were mapped as _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU. This is useful when running wingpanel under other window managers that use window type to determine decorations.

Freedesktop's _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE specification

Struts prevent using a secondary display above the panel

If you have a setup similar to this:

|----------------|
|   xxxxxxxxxx   |
|   xxxxxxxxxx   | Secondary display
|   xxxxxxxxxx   |
|----------------|
    |--------|
    |        |     Primary display
    |--------|

then WingPanel's struts prevent you from moving windows to the overlapped part the top, secondary display (marked with x). If you kill WingPanel, you can move windows freely. This isn't an issue on Ubuntu with Unity or GNOME Shell, so we should see how they deal with this and panel struts.

The workaround I've used is to make the top the primary display, then manually move my dock to the bottom display, but that means my shell is split across both displays and is not ideal.

wingpanel-specific GTK style things not included

• Panel styles (#230)
• Indicator styles

---

Right now, wingpanel looks weird with almost every GTK+ theme, since the wingpanel-specific GTK3 theme parts are shipped as part of elementary-theme. This is in direct violation of this statement in the elementary stylesheet README:

If an application needs a unique style, it should be bundled with that application.

Top panel is partially off the screen, doesn't respond to clicks or open app-launcher

Since yesterday, my wingpanel is only partially visible, see the screenshot. Restarting it with

$ killall wingpanel; sleep 2; wingpanel &

doesn't really help anything. It disappears, then appears, but again in the same wrong spot.

Clicking on the partially visible part of the wingpanel doesn't do anything; can't open the Applications menu, calendar, etc. Even trying the command-line version of "open Applications menu" doesn't work:

$ wingpanel --toggle-indicator app-launcher

use the right reversed elementary Scheme

We do not own pantheon.org, so our GSettings living under org.pantheon does not follow RDNN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_domain_name_notation).

In Loki+1, we should switch to using io.elementary for shell/OS components, and com.github.elementary for first-party apps.

Things to update:

• Application id
• Desktop filename
• AppStream filename and id
• GSettings path and id
• DBus interfaces

Wingpanel crashes when updating the indicators

Looks like wingpanel is catching the .so.dpkg-new & .so.dpkg-tmp during an instalation, and by the time they get added the file could be already done. The plugin manager should only load .so's

There's an invisible wall that doesn't let me close all wingpanel indicators when I click on that part of the screen.

I think that clicking in any part of the screen outside the indicator should close it. But the actual behavior is a bit different: it does close automatically when you click in some parts, but it doesn't do anything when you click in some other parts.

I've made a video explaining this issue. In that video I try to show where is that invisible wall and how it changes depending on the height of the indicator. I also have this edited screenshot that shows more or less the same. NOTE: the actual sizes of that invisible wall are probably different, the picture is just an approximation.

Some other things I've found:

• It happens with all indicators, even the Applications indicator.

• In the video you can see a weird black glitch, maybe is related to this issue.

• It always happens, doesn't matter if you are in the desktop or using an app.

• With the applications indicator, the invisible wall is barely noticeable, but it's still there on the space between the indicator and the screen border.

wingpanel icon on Dock

If anything helps I think this started appearing after some debug with the GTK inspector and an applet (sound switcher indicator)

Error displaying text

Since a couple of days ago this became present on my system, all fonts/text look like this

struts include margin property

We need the margin in order to show box shadow, but we don't want to include that margin area in wingpanel's struts

Always transparent with vertical multi-monitor setups

Wingpanel doesn't turn black when a window is maximised on the main display with certain multi-monitor setups. It seems like the main issue is the verticical position of the secondary monitor - see the attached screenshot.

Icons in the right part of the Wingpamel are not in the line any more

The screen of the issue

Files doesn't come to the foreground if already open, when open through the launcher

Say you have Files open. Then you open the browser and maximize it. You then go to the launcher and open Files again. It will open a new tab in the home directory, but it will not bring the window to the foreground.

This is most certainly a Files problem, as oppose to a problem with wingpanel's launcher, but I didn't know where else to report it.

wingpanel steals focus & rises up to 100% of cpu

Everything has been working perfect with Freya. After reinstall to Loki beta2:

I noticed that after while (1-2 minutes) wingpanel start steals every X seconds focus. For example I write "letter" and wingpanel makes it "etet" because of stolen focus.

This behaviour also takes approx. 10-90% of one CPU (observed with htop).

$ killall wingpanel - helps for 1-2 minutes, until it happends again.

Not sure exactly how to reproduce it, but for example when time switches 00:05 -> 00:06, then it steal focus.. Nothing is written in log when that happends.

data/wingpanel.svg icon is not installed

This icon should be copied to PREFIX/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ on installation.

Support global menu for regular app with menues

Many old fashioned apps, like libre office or eclipse can‘t be used without menus. Currently they are rendered within the application window, each in with it‘s own styles. Besides the fact that this doesn‘t fit into the elementaryos experiece, it‘s aslo plain ugly.

A good solution would be to include them in the wingpanel like ‚super-wingpanel’ does (currently unmaintained).
For this to work the date picker would have to be moved to the right though.
When using ubuntu‘s appmenußindicator this should be fairly easy to integrate too.

It could look loke this: https://goo.gl/images/zMDpPW

Wingpanel doesn't revert to transparent mode

I notice that maximizing a window will change the wingpanel to an opaque black. Sometimes when I close or unmaximize/minimize a window, the wingpanel does not revert to its transparent mode. When it is like this, most of the time, the wingpanel stops responding, e.g. super+spacebar does not work, clicking on "Applications" does not work, or clicking on any of the wingpanel icons does not work. At other times, the wingpanel still responds even when it did not revert to its transparent mode.

building against mutter 3.25+ fails

It looks like there's a small error in CMake which makes it look for "cogl-1.0", "clutter-1.0", and "libmutter", even though it detects MUTTER_326. Sadly I'm not familiar enough with CMake to fix this myself ...

The relevant part of the build log looks like this:

(...)

--   Found gala, version 0.3.0
--   Found granite, version 0.4.1
-- checking for a minimum Vala version of 0.12.0

Configurable order of indicators

Current sorting algorithm of indicators little bit confusing for users (system indicators fixed, user indicators sorted alphabetically) .
Can we get some settings for set manually order of all indicators on panel?!
