Subject: Add untimed autohiding (based on mouse presence) to pypanel
Package: pypanel
Version: 2.4-1.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Pypanel, as it is now has an autohiding feature, based on the time since the
last event received from the mouse. This
patch automatically hides the panel when the mouse leaves the pypanel window,
unfortunately disabling the timed
autohiding.
This patch has already been submitted upstream, though as 2.4 is the last
official version of pypanel, it seems
unlikely that it will ever be included in the source. Perhaps a future version
can combine both behaviors (i.e., start
the auto-hide timer when the mouse leaves the pypanel window), as this would be
the expected behavior. As it is, the
panel is hidden immediately (exactly the behavior I want, but I'm not sure
about anybody else).
If I have time, I may work on a further patch to add this feature, but that'll
be in the future.
Thank you for your time,
Nick Daly
