Description:

NameBar puts the name list of the top-most maximized or the focused window in the gnome-panel so that it doesn't take up precious space elsewhere. It's meant to be used with maximus from ubuntu netbook remix, that removes the window border (alternatively you can just fiddle around with compiz decorating settings). Together with DockBar it works as an alternative to ubuntu netbook remix's window picker.

[size=3]INSTALL[/size]
- install python-gnome2-desktop
$ sudo apt-get install python-gnome2-desktop
- copy namebar.py to /usr/bin/ and GNOME_NameBarApplet.server to /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
$ sudo cp namebar.py /usr/bin
$ sudo cp GNOME_NameBarApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
- copy the content of themes/ to /usr/share/namebar/themes (or alternatively copy them to ~/.namebar/themes)
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/namebar/themes
$ sudo cp themes/* /usr/share/namebar/themes
- restart the gnome-panel
$ killall gnome-panel
- add Namebar applet to panel

You can run it in window (meant for debugging purposes):
namebar.py run-in-window

Ubuntu packages:
Scott Barnes (reeve) is kind enough to maintain deb packages for NameBar, though they are occasionally out of date. They are available in his repository.

[size=3]FAQ[/size]
Q: Why are the name of the program in a undreadable white color?
A: You should change the color to something darker if you use a bright panel. Go to namebar's preference dialog and change the preference.

Q: How do I get to namebar's preference dialog?
A: Right-click on namebar's handle (that's the dots or lines on the left of namebar). Choose preference from the menu. Sometimes you have to double-right-click the handle to get the menu, don't ask me why.

 How it should work

 
 by CruelAngel on: May 20 2009

As I tested NameBar out, I found it quite usefull. But.
I use it so it only shows up, when a window is maximized. So I can use a metacity theme that has no titlebar when maximised. (That way, the titlebar "blends" in to upper panel.) If i then open a non-maximized window over the maximized one, Namebar naturally disapears. But that's not how it should work. Since this way to close/minimize/etc the maximized window, you have to first click on it, for namebar to show up.

Suggested behaviour: If NameBar is set to only show it's self with maximized windows, then if there are one or more maximized windows on that screen, it should always show the last selected maximized window, even if a nonmaximized window is selected after it.

Oh, and another thing: I suggest NameBar should read from gconf (/apps/metacity/general/button_layout) how the buttons an the icon should be placed on the titlebar.

Thanks for your feedback. The second request should be easy enough to implement and the feature will probably show up in next version of namebar.

I will see what I can do about that behavior suggestion. It shouldn't be imposible.

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I'll try to answer anyway.

In the video you see netbook remix's window picker. The left part of the window picker (the part with buttons) are not as good as DockBar(X). Most important difference: Window picker doesn't group applications. If you open three firefox windows you get three buttons in window picker, while you get one in DockBar(X). Namebar was made to give dockbar the one killer feature window picker had that dockbar didn't, the right half, the title and close button.

So to answer what I guess was the question: Yes. Dockbar+namebar is quite similar to Ubuntu netbook-remix's window picker. It just has some more features in the dockbar(x) part of the combo than you'll find in the left half of window picker.

Or still more plainly expressed: Dockbar+namebar is meant to be a replacement for Ubuntu netbook-remix's window picker.

 Bug with "topmost window"

 
 by Zshazz on: Sep 18 2009

Hey there, I'm using this wonderful little applet in Arch Linux and I've found a tiny little bug... Under certain circumstances, when you choose the "topmost maximized window" option, you'll notice that the namebar will hold the topmost window, but may change when the currently focused window changes its titlebar.

What happens: namebar displays the title of the focused window when it should be displaying the title of the topmost maximized window

Reproduce steps:
Namebar installed,
Maximus installed,
set the "Show window title of topmost maximized window" radio option,
maximize Firefox. Open a pidgin window with at least 2 people. Change the person you're talking to by switching between the two tabs. Notice that, even though namebar shows the firefox icon, namebar reflects the title of the pidgin window. The controls of namebar still affect the maximized firefox window.

Otherwise, namebar ROCKS, and I will be using it on my notebook :)

Thank you for developing this.

Thanks for the bug report. It's not every day I get one that well written! I will look into it.

Well, I've got an addition to this bug that I just discovered. It's probably the same bug manifesting itself differently.

Even if you have "show window title for active window", namebar can still change, if a background window changes its title.

Reproduction steps:
Firefox open,
banshee open & playing songs (and it's actually in dockbarx),
If you're looking at a web page and banshee changes songs, banshee's window title shows up in namebar.

Keep in mind that if you have banshee running as an icon in the notification area (and not in the taskbar/dockbarx) it will not change the namebar...

The applet works fine!Thanks!
(gnome 2.28,Ubuntu 9.10 beta)

However i'm missing something,I guess you all know.How do I remove the top bar of the window that contains title and min/max/close buttons?Namebar also contains all these so no need to have the same information at the top of every window.
Hope my question is clear.Any help?

Two ways:
- If you use compiz, open compiz settings manager and go to decorations. Change decoration windows from "any" to "!state=maxvert". That should do it. If you want all windows to be without borders and not just maximized windows, use "none" instead.

- Second option: Install maximus. It should be in the repository, I think.If you don't want all windows maximized all the time there's a gconf setting for that. I don't remember the specifics right now but google is your friend.

Could you adapt NameBar so that it works with xmonad? Currently the NameBar is always empty.

See this blog post on setting up xmonad with GNOME: http://versia.com/2009/10/18/xmonad-metacity-gnome/

Thanks!
Alex

Namebar relies heavily on wnck and wnck seems not to work with xmonad. I don't think there's anything I can do here, sorry.

Do you have any details about this? I couldn't find anything regarding libwnck in xmonad's mailing list or on the bug tracker. I would appreciate any pointers, thanks!

Thanks, that was helpful! It seems wnck_screen_get_active_window() always returns NULL with xmonad. I'll check what can be done...
