Currently there is no way to set the taskbar to a percentage width of the screen. I would like to see this feature, as would other converted fluxbox users I would imagine. Why do I want this? A couple reasons: -My panel is vertical, on the bottom right. Either the panel or taskbar overlap each other, unless I position the panel slightly higher, which I don't want to do because I am currently auto-hiding the taskbar (it looks ugly). -I want to have a small amount of free desktop space on each side of the taskbar so that I have a consistent area to jump to with the mouse and use the scrollwheel to switch desktops. (alternatively, replicating the fluxbox functionality of switching desktops with the scrollwheel when the mouse pointer is on the taskbar would work also).
You request it, we implement it. The appended patch adds the requested functionality to the taskbar. But it requires partial struts support from the window manager to be 100% usefull.
Patch committed to CVS HEAD with few modifications. You can now also specify the horizontal alignment of the taskbar.
