Based on my earlier question and answer from Arkadiusz Drabczyk , I have set up 3 different instances of fbpanel, separate one for each of my 3 monitors:
This is how I start fbpanel:
fbpanel -x 0 --profile left &
fbpanel -x 1 --profile center &
fbpanel -x 2 --profile right &
The 3 profiles
left
, center
and right
are defined in my ~/.config/fbpanel/
. The profile center
contains definition of the taskbar
plugin, ie the active windows currently open are visible on the tab, and can be switched between (alt+tab) or "minimised"
Plugin {
type = taskbar
expand = true
config {
ShowIconified = true
ShowMapped = true
ShowAllDesks = false
tooltips = true
IconsOnly = false
MaxTaskWidth = 150
}
But the taskbar
on the center monitor contains all applications (from all 3 monitors). So I have one taskbar
for 3 monitors.
I would like to have one taskbar
for each of my 3 fbpanels
, where only applications currently occupying left monitor would be on the left fbpanel's taskbar, and so on
So basically, if I move application window form center monitor to left monitor, the application currently "docked" on the center fbpanel's taskbar should move to left fbpanel's taskbar.
I have no idea if this is possible.
More details to my setup:
Im using fbpanel
in openbox
, my OS is Debian Buster. I would be happy to recompile the fbpanel
package, if that would solve my problem.
