when changing the active window via NextWindow/PrevWindow and then
not beeing able to set the focus of the window underneath the mouse
with a simple click again (in MouseFocus - mode). Suggestion via
mail to devel-ml from Eike von Seggern
New init options added:
session.screenN.windowScrollAction: Shade|NextTab
- set the action that happens when scrolling on the titlebar
session.screenN.windowScrollReverse: true|false
- reverse the action direction
when mod1 + leftmouse are clicked on a window and the mouse is not
moved, the window is raised at leftmouserelease. i dont think we
need an extra option for that since its very unobtrusive but neat
to have.
the "Sloppy" was always a bit .. unprecise.
removed SloppyFocus, SemiSloppyFocus and ClickToFocus options
added MouseFocus, ClickFocus, MouseTabFocus, ClickTabFocus
- MouseFocus - change the focus to the window under the mouse
(almost similar to the 'old' SloppyFocus)
- ClickFocus - change the focus to the window the user clicks
- MouseTabFocus - change active tabclient to the one under the
mouse in titlebar, does NOT change the focus
- ClickTabFocus - change active tabclient when clicked onto a
tabbutton
to achieve former SemiSloppyFocus behavior one needs MouseFocus and
ClickTabFocus
area to drop a tab button to detach the client from the group. solution is to
detach the client if the tab button is dropped onto the client area of the
same group.
assume its 12:34:56.99, displaying 12:34:56 takes some time and so its already
12:34:57 when we display 12:34:56. to fix that i set the time to check the
clock to 0.01 seconds. that shouldnt hurt much since we only redraw the clock
when the string has changed.
a more complex approach would be to analyze the strftime-string and set the
timeout accordingly. but i dont know if its really worth the effort and beeing
a bit off schedule can happen too, just not as often as if you are in seconds
mode.
- Little reordering of ToolbarMenu items, more important ones to the top and
"edit current ws" out... maybe we should think of another way of providing
menus for the tools .. submenus?
shaded icons behaved badly on restart, they went into a real stupid state:
somehow shaded, but at the same time iconic, so you werent able to unshade,
resize them properly.
i fixed that by applying NormalState on shutdowntime (see
FluxboxWindow::restore(), unshading a shaded frame to get good
window dimensions and on init() i mark the window initialized and connect it
to Fluxbox::attachSignals() a bit later.
MoveTo <int|*> <int|*> <Reference Corner>
- * means "use current value"
- Reference Corner is one of:
- UpperLeft, Upper, UpperRight
- Left, Right
- LowerLeft, Lower, Right
examples:
MoveTo 0 * Left -> snap to left workspace edge
MoveTo * 0 Lower -> snap to lower workspace edge
MoveTo 0 0 UpperRight -> snap to upper right workspace corner
TODO: perhaps add some "aliases" to make it more userfriendly
- Removed "antialias"-option completly, to enable/disable "antialias"
use either <fontname>:antialias=<bool> in the style or use
Xft.antialias: <bool> in your .Xdefaults
- Added new styleresources:
*.font.effect: <halo|shadow>
*.font.shadow.x : <int> - shadow x offset
*.font.shadow.y : <int> - shadow y offset
*.font.shadow.color : <color> - color of shadow
*.font.halo.color : <color> - color of halo
- Removed 'shadow' and 'halo' options from fontdefinitions:
!! Style authors have to update their styles !!
- Simplified XmbFontImp to not try all possible fonts to match locale
- Style authors may specify multiple fonts:
<font1>|<font2>|<font3>
if loading of font1 fails, fluxbox probes <font2>, etc. The last font is
"fixed". Hints for style authors:
- if xft tries to load a font it will _ALWAYS_ return a valid font,
it doesnt have to look like the one you want to have, read more
about it: http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.html
- export XFT_DEBUG=1 before running fluxbox helps to see
which fonts are picked.
eg:
*.font: Verdana,Arial-12:antialias=true|-artwiz-snap-*-
if fluxbox is compiled with xft this will NEVER try to
load "-artwiz-snap-*-" since xft gives for sure a font,
most likely Verdana or Arial but noone knows. So, if
fluxbox has no xft support the first fontpattern fails
and fluxbox tries the next one, which might be successful.
if everything fails, it will use "fixed"
- Added caching of fonts, fonts are only loaded once.
- Fixed#1090902 (slow utf8 start)
Automake will generate rules to automatically regenerate the
config header. This obsolete macro is a synonym of
`AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' today (*note Optional::).
so we use the nonobsolete now, thanx php-coder for pointing that out.
- Shade - just like the "Stick"-button
Styleresources:
window.shade.pixmap, window.shade.unfocus.pixmap, window.shade.pressed.pixmap
window.unshade.pixmap, window.unshade.unfocus.pixmap, window.unshade.pressed.pixmap
etc.
- MenuIcon - click on it provides the windowmenu, if the app
contains a pixmap (gvim, konqueror etc etc) the pixmap is displayed, a
little menu otherwise.
Styleresources:
windowmenu.pixmap, windowmenu.unfocus.pixmap windowmenu.pressed.pixmap
etc.
Example ~/.fluxbox/init - entry:
session.titlebar.left: MenuIcon Stick
session.titlebar.right: Shade Minimize Maximize Close
hint: if the app HAS a pixmap i use window.title.focus.pixmap (look
WinButtonTheme for reference)in pixmap-based-styles. this looks excellent and dont need
much extra-code to pipe that info into WinButtons.
if the xkb-extension is enabled and the user switches between his/her
keyboardlayouts fluxbox's keybhandling doesn't work well anymore because
xkeyevent.state contains also xkb-related flags and thus we have to handle
that with caution.
KeyUtils now contain 'isolateModifierMask()' to really work only on the
modifiers. why not as part of cleanMods() ? because the XLookupString return
false results, eg TextBox's would only print chars from the first
keyboardlayout.
we now place shaded Windows above the normal windows. ArrangeWindows
touches only windows on the current (xinerama)-head.
there are still some open issues with this, look at my notes at the function
itself.
"carrier" (maybe a temporarly name?) ... carriers dont need background-updates
.. ever.
this leads to a big performance"boost" over the last commits. before we
updated also the windows which are the hosts for the apps (m_window and
m_clientarea in FbWinFrame) -> bad idea.
if someone changed the session.screen0.workspaces:<int> value and fired a
"reload config"/reconfigure-Command fluxbox crashed.
changes:
- cleaner way of reading in the workspacenames
- cleaner way of initialize the workspaces in BScreen()
- on BScreen::reconfigure we add/delete Workspaces to the
current screen until init-file and fluxbox are in sync
-> the user changed the initfile and pressed reload, so
imho he wants to have the changes in the init-file realized.
