    Hi guys!

    I googled a lot to get a solution to remove the tooltips of the top panel but I didn't find one.
    The touchscreen works very good and since I installed linux4one, it's more sensible so I can scroll with my fingers in FF.

    But the tooltips are bad with the touchscreen, cause when i press for example the Go-home button, the big tooltip hides my fovorites menu button.

    I disabled the tooltips in the g-conf editor (apps/panel/global) but this doesn't make a difference.

    Does anyone have a better solution or do I have to live with this?

    Sorry for my broken English, I'm Austrian.

    Found an easy solution:
    Longer ago I had made a file in my home folder to make the scrollbar wider to grab it with my fingers.
    Now I read about an "gtk-touchscreen-mode" in gtk and that did the trick!

    The file:
    /home/USER/.gtkrc-2.0

    The code:
    Code:
    style "scroll"
    {
        GtkScrollbar::slider-width        = 21
    }
    
    class "*" style "scroll"
    
    gtk-touchscreen-mode = 1
