Tint2 wifi icon problem

[womp]

Hi!

I am doing a reinstall on a MacBookPro 8,1 (2011-2012) because of a kernel panic that I couldn’t fix.
I am now using linux-lts and Openbox (of course) Fluxbox and I3-gaps.
It’s amazing how fast this old laptop can be!! (I did install a 500gb ssd and that’s a part of it!)
I have a small issue with Tint2 and the wifi-icon. It often shows that I am not connected and it seems “frozen”. When I check by opening Firefox I am connected and sometimes after 5-10 minutes wifi-icon shows connection!?

I wonder why this i happening and if I can fix it?

# start the panel
tint2 &
(sleep 5; nm-applet) &

I have tried without (sleep 5…) but it makes no difference.

That’s normal behavior.

nm-applet polls configured uri (default is http://ping.archlinux.org/nm-check.txt) every configured intervel (default 300 seconds/5 minutes) to determine the connection status. If the uri was down temporarily or the response didn’t come back properly, nm-applet displays connection is down until next try. You could change the uri to another server or shorten the interval to alter the behavior, but it’s not recommended.

Thanks for answer!!

I guess I have to live with this then?

In other aspects Tint2 Is just wonderful.
