Hi Uli
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately my problem is still not solved. My
point is not only to make the wibox disappear but also to free up the memory
it occupies.
I have run the following test:
1) run awesome as is: used ~1% of my RAM
2) run awesome and make 10000 wiboxes: used ~8% of my ram
[CODE]
listOfWiboxes = {}
for i = 1,10000 do
listOfWiboxboxes[i] = wibox({})
end
[END CODE]
3) run awesome, make 10000 wiboxes and then remove them: used ~8% of my ram.
[CODE]
listOfWiboxes = {}
for i = 1,10000 do
listOfWiboxes[i] = wibox({})
listOfWiboxes[i].visible = false
listOfWiboxes[i] = nil -- (I've also tried by leaving this line away)
end
[END CODE]
As you can see setting the visible field to false isn't enough to free the
memory. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks again for your effort.
Best Regards
