Wbar black background

[Aleph]

Hi friends,

this is not very important, but many times (not always) the Wbar background is black when I start PCLOS. I reload Wbar and the background appears.

Is possible solve this problem?

Thanks.

[daniel]

let start wbar later as lxde-session.

With lxautostart isn't it a problem...

Hi,

if i can see, you start only wbar, and cpufreq. So try this

Code: [Select]

# (en) Wait 10 seconds before starts up.
# (de) 10 Sekunden warten bis zum starten.
sleep 3
#
#parcellite &
#gkrellm &
#xbindkeys &
cpufreq &
##############
sleep 10 # or higher #
##############
wbar &

and test it out.

Hopeful it will help

Hi Leiche,

thanks, I did, but the problem persists..

[Crow]

Have you right clicked the bar?  it happens to  me from time to time and that fix it.

Hi Crow,

yes it works, thanks.

Could be the problem a bug of Wbar?

I don't know but I don't think so, LXDE has been having problems with transparencies for some time now and I thought it was my machine, for screenshots I don't use the provided tool (shows a dark box instead of transparencies) but installed emprint which pick the transparencies fine.

I tried to get help about it but since it was more an annoyance than a real problem just left it that way.

[daniel]

Did you get the problem by all your wallpapers?

Sometimes need pcmanfm longer to display your wallpaper, and wbar starts with no background.

Maybe you should convert your wallpapers exactly to your screen resolution.

[Crow]

Leiche I always re-size the wallpapers to fill the screen because I don't like them to be distorted, besides that is the issue with the screenshots, which emprint (E17 screen capture) takes without problems.

I must say that my install has a couple of years (fully updated), is not the last remaster.

[daniel]

ahämmm ?

Works now?

I've just installed PCLinuxOS-LXDE-2012.06 and I have the same problem. Boy, it's ugly.

Then i will submit...
REMOVE WBAR and you have no problem.

I found no solution yet, sorry...

What same problem?  Wbar?  did you right click the bar?  did you tried the offered solutions?  do you want help or you're only commenting?  please specify because that line doesn't add anything.

My last idea is...
