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)
fluxbox in utf8-locales:
if no fontset is found up to this point its because of
a) no such font
b) not supported locale
if we try our best and enhance the basename-list and add some
more generic patterns the xserver will give us a valid
fontset .. which is good coz we have something to work with
but which is BAD coz we return a valid fontset as if we
have found the font the user wants .. so, every fallback
in higher level code will fail coz we find a valid fontset by any
meaning here. if no fontset can be found, the "fixed"-fontset should
be there already.
state is set... what about moving it outside of the visible area? we need to
think about this.
* mixing _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN and _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR is solved, we
dont do this anymore
* we dont use _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_PAGER .. so we shouldnt delete it, thats
handled now correctly -> look at the *State() - functions
when sending _BLACKBOX_NOTIFY_WINDOW_DEL
_NET_WM_DESKTOP and _WIN_WORKSPACE had wrong initial values (-1), which lead to probems
with (eg) fbpager (unaware of newly created windows and such things)
- 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.
NoIcons - display all noniconified windows
WorkspaceNoIcons - display all noniconified windows on the current
workspace
modified the nls-files accordingly
