Draft: Dont update if hidden (!20) · Merge requests · Panel Plugins / xfce4-genmon-plugin · GitLab

guiohm requested to merge guiohm/xfce4-genmon-plugin:dont_update_if_hidden into master Nov 22, 2024

This is the counterpart of xfce/xfce4-panel!159. Please read the description over there.

Changes proposed

Adds a toggle in the GUI that says "Don't render if hidden" (off by default)
Subscribes to the proposed new hidden signal of xfce-panel
Skips calling DisplayCmdOutput () when hidden=true and the setting is on
Do call DisplayCmdOutput () on receiving the hidden=false signal and on timer periods while not hidden

As said on the other PR, I'm not a C developer and I probably missed some things. Please advise.

Manually tested on Arch Linux x86_64 X11.
