.SS Introduction
.PP
These are instructions for configuring tint2 directly by editing its config file.
You may also use instead the graphical interface \fB\fCtint2conf\fR\&.
.PP
The first time you run tint2, it will create the config file in \fB\fC$HOME/.config/tint2/tint2rc\fR (This applies if you have done a clean install. Running tint2 in the source directory without doing 'make install' will not create the config file.)
.PP
You can also specify another file on the command line with the \-c option, e.g.: \fB\fCtint2 \-c $HOME/tint2.conf\fR\&. This can be used to run multiple instances of tint2 that use different settings.
.PP
If you change the config file while tint2 is running, the command \fB\fCkillall \-SIGUSR1 tint2\fR will force tint2 to reload it.
.PP
All the configuration options supported in the config file are listed below.
Try to respect as much as possible the order of the options as given below.
.SS Backgrounds and borders
.PP
The tint2 config file starts with the options defining background elements with borders:
.RS
.IP \(bu 2
\fB\fCrounded = number_of_pixels\fR : the corner radius
.IP \(bu 2
\fB\fCborder_width = integer\fR : the border width in pixels
.IP \(bu 2

.IP \(bu 2

You can define as many backgrounds as you want. For example, the following config defines two backgrounds:
.PP
.RS
.nf
rounded = 1
border_width = 0
background_color = #282828 100
border_color = #000000 0

rounded = 1
border_width = 0
background_color = #f6b655 90
border_color = #cccccc 40
.fi
.RE
.PP
tint2 automatically identifies each background with a number starting from 1 (1, 2, ...).
Afterwards, you can apply a background to objects (panel, taskbar, task, clock, systray) using the background id, for example:
.PP
.RS
.nf
panel_background_id = 1
taskbar_background_id = 0
task_background_id = 0
task_active_background_id = 2
systray_background_id = 0
clock_background_id = 0
.fi
.RE
.PP
Identifier 0 refers to a special background which is fully transparent, identifier 1 applies the first background defined in the config file etc.
