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).
on *bsd /bin/sh is not just a symlink to /bin/bash as on most linux's
but a real standalone shell. and it behaves differently from "bash -c"
behavior .. it doesnt exec the command given but waits till the command
finishes. as a result a lot of "rogue" a flying around. solution is now
( $SHELL or /bin/sh ) -c exec <cmd>
- 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)
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.
file and directory - helproutines.
* created the FileUtil-namespace which contains file-related functions, moved
those functions out of Directory - code
* changes to the rest of the files to follow those changes
