I'm using zorin lite xfce , i tried skippy-xd on it , it's good, but i notice it deals with zorin-lite-menu as a minimize window and show the absence of it.

Can you please share the xprop output for the menu window?

Can you please share the xprop output for the menu window?

xprop _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS(ATOM) = _NET_WM_ACTION_CLOSE, _NET_WM_ACTION_ABOVE, _NET_WM_ACTION_BELOW, _NET_WM_ACTION_FULLSCREEN, _NET_WM_ACTION_MOVE, _NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_HORZ, _NET_WM_ACTION_MAXIMIZE_VERT, _NET_WM_ACTION_CHANGE_DESKTOP, _NET_WM_ACTION_STICK _NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 4294967295 _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY, _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR, _NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE, _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 0, 0 WM_STATE(WM_STATE): window state: Normal icon window: 0x7b873c00 WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS): Client accepts input or input focus: True Initial state is Normal State. window id # of group leader: 0x1800001 _GTK_THEME_VARIANT(UTF8_STRING) = "dark" XdndAware(ATOM) = BITMAP _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_POPUP_MENU _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER(CARDINAL) = 25165996, 25165997 _NET_WM_USER_TIME_WINDOW(WINDOW): window id # 0x18000ab WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x1800001 _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 4974 WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "en_US.UTF-8" WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "eid-HP-Compaq-6005-Pro-SFF-PC" WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS): program specified location: 0, 0 program specified minimum size: 325 by 434 program specified base size: 0 by 0 window gravity: NorthWest WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols WM_DELETE_WINDOW, WM_TAKE_FOCUS, _NET_WM_PING, _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST WM_CLASS(STRING) = "wrapper-2.0", "Wrapper-2.0" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Zorin Menu Lite" _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Zorin Menu Lite" WM_NAME(STRING) = "Zorin Menu Lite" _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Zorin Menu Lite"

Hmm I see _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER, as well as _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR, which should have done the job...

Can you please try changing this property:

 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_POPUP_MENU

to something like _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK?

Sorry for super late reply, been completely overwhelmed in other tasks in life...

ahmeteid7 commented 7 months ago

thanks that solved it. i changed it to _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK xprop -id 0x6600091 -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE 32a -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK

i notice that happen also with the apps that work in background which has icon in systray like stacer and download manager apps, also the gnome software store, how i can make skippyxd ignore the apps when these apps work in background?

felixfung commented 7 months ago

Thanks, will put in the code to make it work for _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_POPUP_MENU also. But been super busy, and probably will not be able to do it any time soon.
