I don't have titles for tabbed containers #4

Open ProgrammingLife opened 2 years ago

ProgrammingLife commented 2 years ago

I have no titles when I press super+z. It looks like tabbed-mode works but I don't have title-bar so I can't navigate through the windows inside tabbed container. What should I check to find out what's wrong with my config?

ArchLinux is up to date. Bspwm: 0.9.10 tabc installed today with aur: yay -S bsptab

With no title bars I understand that you mean you can't see the tab bar (tabs with the window title inside). Correct me if I'm wrong. That's weird, unless you enabled AUTOHIDE_PATCH.

What about tabbed? Maybe you didn't configure it properly. Take a look at this.

If you installed bsptab using yay, you should've been prompted to choose a provider for tabbed, as it is a dependency of the package (if you weren't, install it first: yay -S --asdeps tabbed-flexipatch-git). Choose tabbed-flexipatch-git and follow the instructions shown when built: cd to the build directory (most likely $HOME/.cache/yay/tabbed-flexipatch-git), edit config.h, patches.h and config.mk according to your preferences (the most important part is the keybindings list), and then rebuild and reinstall using makepkg -sircf.

I am aware this is a bit tricky, so please keep me informed about any problems you encounter and I'll be happy to help!
