Re: How can I change the format of the date displayed on the tooltip of the clock in system tray?

For most folks, getting the actual clock format right is a big enough challenge. Obsessing over the tooltip's format is for the true "nit-pickers" amongst us..... True, Mike, generally speaking, However, my guess is that tatemono is looking for a quick way to read the name of the day with...

Re: How can I change the format of the date displayed on the tooltip of the clock in system tray?

I don't think the tooltip can be formatted, unfortunately. The clocks in Fatdog64 812 and 901 are two different plugins, with different capabilities. The LxQt team discontinued the old clock plugin in favor of the worldclock plugin. One can see in source code commit [1], which added a tooltip to wor...

Re: gtkdialog problems with GTK3

There was a similar problem in the filechooser widget for gtkdialog_gtk3. I submitted a patch to work around that issue. That patch can't fix the tree widget but perhaps it could inspire someone interested in contributing a fix to Woof-CE. Here's the link to the filechooser widget patch; scroll down...

IIRC, when Ubuntu included compiz some users reported issues with chrome. I just tested wobbly windows with Vivaldi (chromium-based) and it works fine.

edit: I just tested also chrome-official installed via Control Panel "Get Google Chrome" and wobbly works OK for me (Intel graphics).
