Desklet note editor code

zie desklet note editor voor doeleinde & algemene uitleg
de code is afhankelijk van deze shell tools : wmctrl command cut command
en window automation tools : x windowing tools - xprop transset tool

launch - code

# 0.  1 time config via the app 
# no need for automating removal of menu bar, this was done 1 time via mousepad settings
# foreground & background colors set via preferences 

# 1. launch
mousepad /mnt/data/pdat/TODO-WM/tmp/mousepad-buffer.txt  & disown 

# 2. if needed, manually move the editor to laptop screen  (normally it 'remembers where the last location was')
#    to move window without title bar to grab : alt + spacebar then move 
# via code  : 

# 3. remove title bar :   (wmctrl is used to get the window id
xprop -id $(wmctrl -l | grep 'Mousepad' | cut -d " " -f 1 ) -f _MOTIF_WM_HINTS 32c -set _MOTIF_WM_HINTS "0x2, 0x0, 0x2, 0x0, 0x0"

# 4.  make window transluctant  --NOK--   casing is correct
   #  transset --name Mousepad  0.4   # does not work , geen error maar doet niets  
   transset --id $(wmctrl -l | grep 'Mousepad' | cut -d " " -f 1 ) 0.6     # idem 
   # transset --click  0.4    # choose the window by clicking on it 
   # --> ?  Mousepad mapt niet naar corrcte window ? 
   #     ?  is in xfce , en gebruikt geen grafisch library die transset kan aanspreken ? 
   #     transet is voor  X servers  ( https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/transset.1.html ) 

# 5. make available on all workspaces
wmctrl -r "Mousepad" -b add,sticky   
# 6. remove from taskbar
wmctrl -r "Mousepad" -b add,skip_taskbar
# 7. remove , what precisely ? 
wmctrl -r "Mousepad" -b add,skip_pager      
# seems to do nothing (likely Cinamon issue , see  : https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5162 )

for troubleshooting purposes , remove these settings :

# TODO  : re-set title with xprop
wmctrl -r "Mousepad" -b remove,skip_taskbar  &&  wmctrl -r "Mousepad" -b remove,skip_pager  &&  wmctrl -r "Mousepad" -b remove,sticky
