'Vertical' Workspace warping is a variant of the existing Workspace
warping feature: When a user drags a window to the edge of the Screen,
the window is warped to the next / previous workspace.
'Vertical' Workspace warping detects a drag towards the upper / lower
border of the screen and warps the current workspace about an 'offset'.
Example given, lets say the user has 9 workspaces and considers them to
form a 3x3 grid:
+-+-+-+
|1|2|3|
+-+-+-+
|4|5|6|
+-+-+-+
|7|8|9|
+-+-+-+
An 'offset' of 3 warps from workspaces 2 to workspace 5 (or 8), when a
window is dragged to the bottom / top border.
New configuration ressources:
session.screenN.workspacewarpingvertical: true
session.screenN.workspacewarpingverticaloffset: X
fluxbox uses std::unique_ptr<> where it previously used std::auto_ptr<>.
C++0X was approved in 2011. among other things, it deprecates std::auto_ptr.
5 years is long enough for compilers to catch up the standard.
Command is "RelabelButton button.foo $LABEL"
This is useful to eg. hint the amount of unread mails in a
button to start your MUA, reflect the $USER in a session menu button
etc.
toggle(Toolbar|Slit)Above toggles the resp. item between its
regular and the AboveDock layer (ie. above everything, even visible on
active fullscreen windows)
Also required step for autoraising.

Allows to maintain access to desktop fractions etc. against
maximized windows. Also permits to OnToolbar clicks in this case, eg. to
raise it.

Also reconfigure menus (recursively) on style load
The most critical call is the shape update - the menus often become
cut-off, preventing mouse interaction with lower items, but also colors
are not applied correctly to menus w/o updating them.
BUG 1022 is most likely this and only a misinterpretation (for the
mentioned items are those with lacking color updates on style updates)

Sometimes fluxbox is used as a component of a desktop environment (
e.g., the "Lumina Desktop"). It's easier and more stable for this kind
of "users" to disable the toolbar or the slit alltogether. Why not
configure these features out? Because then they would need 2 installations
of fluxbox: One without the slit and the toolbar (and perhaps other
components) and one with them.
This implements feature request #314, at least partially.
This commit also looks bigger than it actually is: I refactored and cleaned
up classes Fluxbox and BScreen.
There was a problem deep within how the menus were connected and when and
what gets deleted. It was clearly related to a menu which was kind of
global. In order to better understand the code flow I eliminated the
ExtraMenu code: it was used only to get the Remember-Menu into the
Window-Menu. Instead of having a singleton of the Remember-Menu and fight
against the shaky interconnections we just create a new one on demand
and delete when the menu gets deleted. Looks like this fixes the problem.
The menu code needs more love anyway.
Closes#1118
Part of this massive looking but simple rather simple change is a the way we
check for active Xinerama: XineramaIsActive() was used before. The docs for
XineramaQueryScreens() state that
XineramaQueryScreens() returns NULL and sets number to
0 if Xinerama is not active.
Sold.
Every time either the Slit menu or the Toolbar menu were added to the
root menu, the whole root menu was (re)created from scratch. Now we
create and remove only the menus needed.
Side effect: the position of these menus is now at the end of the root
menu and not somewhere in between. If users complaint, I' ll think about
it.
- merged all the common stuff from 0,1,2,3 argument versions into one common base class
- removed ReturnType template parameter as it was instantiated with "void" everywhere and the
current ignores the return value of the callbacks anyway
a 'BidiString' holds both the logical content and the visual reordered
version of the content of a string. this helps to reduce the number of
calls to reorder the string before drawing it (as introduced in the patch
from Ken Bloom) and to be more consistent in menus and textboxes (drawing
cursors and underlining text).
