2007-07-19 21:04:58 +00:00
3.4.3:
* Add Ukrainian translation
* Updated translations:
2007-07-22 03:58:38 +00:00
- Japanese, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Estonian, German, Portuguese,
Vietnamese, Finnish, Czech, Arabic, Spanish, Swedish, French
2007-07-19 21:04:58 +00:00
* Improve focus fallback - don't fallback to windows you can't focus cycle
(Alt-Tab) to
* Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,
just the outer border
* Some improvements in the smart placement to help it find a place more
often. This needs more work still.
* Don't focus windows that appear under the mouse in mouse-focus mode unless
underMouse is enabled
* Don't move focus when the window under the pointer iconifies unless
underMouse is enabled
* Respect min/max window sizes when a window is fullscreened or maximized.
This fixes problems experienced with maximizing vnc windows
* Don't XUngrabKeyboard unless we need to
* Correct calculations for the menu header width, so that they are not
ellisized unnecessarily
* Advanced support for partial struts. When you maximize a window it will
now only use the struts it needs to. This can greatly improve
xinerama functionality.
* Fixes for how the dock is placed in certain positions on screen (off by 1
errors)
* New default bindings:
- don't unshade when clicking on the titlebar
2007-07-20 18:47:01 +00:00
- raise when unshading with the scrollwheel
- lower when shading with the scrollwheel
2007-07-19 21:04:58 +00:00
* Don't show the top resize area in the titlebar when a window is shaded
* Optimize rendering of window decorations
* Optimize splitvertical gradients - no more malloc/free during render
* Let the theme specify all colors for a splitvertical gradient with the new
.splitTo theme elements
* Improve decorations for maximized windows. Don't draw the side borders in
the titlebar.
* Don't resist against desklet windows (below layer + skip taskbar)
* New actions for dynamically adjusting your desktop workspaces:
- AddDesktopLast, RemoveDesktopLast
- AddDesktopCurrent, RemoveDestopCurrent
* New <center> option for smart placement (default is on)
* Fix MoveToCenter in Xinerama (TwinView) setups
* Let you lower a window without lowering its children or siblings
* Don't set the default Openbox icon on child windows, let them inherit the
icon from their parents
* Fix Onyx themes - fade out disabled buttons
* Don't auto-resize windows to fit on screen if they are UserSpecified
Size or Position
* Don't activate windows which raise themselves anymore. It was a nice
thought, but it caused too much problems
* Rewrite of the actions subsystem
* Removed deprecated actions:
- ShowDesktop, UnshowDesktop (Use ToggleShowDesktop)
- ResizeRelativeVert, ResizeRelativeHorz (Use ResizeRelative)
* Combined the MoveFromEdge* actions with MoveToEdge* actions, and removed
the MoveFromEdge* action names.
* Switch desktops when moving a window and you drag it to the edge of the
screen (added the <screenEdgeWarpTime> option for this)
* Add actions to add/remove the last desktop in the client list menus
* Use startup notification when launching ObConf in the default root menu
* Remove the desktop switching dialog, as it confuses people and they don't
know how to turn it off to switch desktops instantly. Some other
incarnation may return in the future.
* Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
* Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
fixes gucharmap
* Fancy keyboard window moving:
- Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
- Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
- Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
* Fancy keyboard window resizing:
- The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
shrink the window on that edge)
- Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
different edge to resize
- Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
- Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
- Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
* Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
or dead application windows
* Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
* Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
- you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
2007-07-19 21:04:58 +00:00
- fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
- allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
- let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
is user-specified)
* Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
* Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
* Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
the raiselower action for windows which have children.
* Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2
* Don't include debian/ dir in releases
* Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
* Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)
* Add the MoveResizeTo action. This is very xinerama aware! It also lets
you move a window to any edge of any screen.
* Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
* New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
<execute> but the old one will still work.
* Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
* Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
partically too
* Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
around in some earlier versions)
* Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
* Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
a siblig which we aren't managing
* Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get
focus)
* Add new actions for controlling window decorations:
- Decorate, Undecorate
2007-07-21 00:44:48 +00:00
* Fix so that the values for per-app settings are not case sensitive
* Fix crash with very small windows
* Fix resize resistance for windows with aspect ratio limits
* Let you resize windows with aspect ratio limits in the vertical directions
2007-07-19 21:04:58 +00:00
2007-06-10 23:28:51 +00:00
3.4.2:
* Add ability to set the bevel strength in themes
* Fix for focusLast with omnipresent windows
* Cache pipe menus while the menus are open
* Allow non-interactive directional focus key bindings
* Change how nested interactive key bindings work (it stays in the key chain,
like chroot, until you end the interactive action)
* Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
prevention (Fixes Tilda)
* Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
makes this possible now)
* Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
* Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
* Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with
animation
* Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
2007-07-22 03:58:38 +00:00
* Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it
* End move/resize more cleanly when focus moves during a move/resize
* Don't focus new windows when browsing a menu or moving/resizing a window,
just flash the window instead, so that the menu/move/resize doesn't have to
cancel.
2007-06-10 23:28:51 +00:00
2007-06-09 21:51:51 +00:00
3.4.1:
* Add Vietnamese translation
* Add Japanese translation
* Keep new transient windows from not getting focus when any related window
has focus already
* Change behavior of underMouse option - make focus go under the mouse when
no window has focus anymore, rather than to the last used window
* Make on-screen display dialogs (such as the Alt-Tab dialog) appear on the
active monitor when using Xinerama (a.k.a. TwinView)
* Fix for window stacking - let you lower sibling transient windows behind
eachother
* Fix directional focus actions when used without a dialog
* Fix race that could prevent ObConf from setting the desktop names correctly
* Add new theme options:

middle between the upper and lower gradients
* Fix another emacs event storm, don't configure the window when it sets its
WM_NORMAL_HINTS unless we have to
* Fix for focus cycling to helper windows - Don't count dialogs as a sibling,
so they don't stop you
2007-06-10 00:48:03 +00:00
* Allow the use of negative numbers in per-app settings position to place a
window relative to the right/bottom edges of your monitor (taking the
struts (panels) into account)
* Fix focus moving irrationally when focusLast was off

* Fix for not seeing windows change their partial strut
* Give iconified windows a faded icon in the focus cycling (Alt-Tab) dialog,

if they are not user-positioned. (Fix xpdf making itself bigger than the
space inside the struts, and hiding behind them).
* Don't let child (transient) windows steal focus when the situation is
ambiguous
* Fix bevels and borders display in the titlebar

is the proper fix for libwnck pagers.)
* Fallback focus immediately during iconify animation in all cases (was
missing RevertToParent case)
* Fix new frame elements being given 0 sizes for very small windows
* Send iconified windows to the bottom of the focus order so you can
Alt-Shift-Tab to get back what you just iconified. This makes things more
predictable.
* Show the hostname for remotely run programs in iconified titles
* Stop focus flicker when sending windows to a desktop and following them,
and when changing desktops with an omnipresent window focused

window)
* Force the top left corner of new windows onto the screen area, if the
position wasn't requested by the user (Fix xpdf and others hiding their
titlebar under a panel)
* Fix for determining text geometry from Pango
* Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
log in.
* The &lt;desktop&gt; section from the configuration file is only used for
defaults, and so is only applied at the start of a new log-in. (Use ObConf
1.6.2 to change the config file for these options, and have them set
immediately, if you don't use a session manager to save them.)
* Fix updating and crashing in the old split client list menu
* Translate the default desktop names
* Update Taiwanese Chinese translation

* Fix bug stopping panels from moving themselves off-screen to hide
themselves
* Fix for GNOME/Openbox and openbox-gnome-session to use a new session name,
because GNOME won't let you replace the window manager in the saved session
* Don't restore session state when multiple windows have the same
identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
* Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable
* Fix for what manpage files are distributed in the source code, so they
will not be pre-built with the wrong info
* Fix pkg-config files for compiling things against Openbox libraries
3.3.990:
* Wildcard matching for per-application (per-window) settings. Let you match
multiple rules for a window. (Props to Mark Pustjens for code to do this.)
* Added startup notification support to the menus and key/mouse bindings
with <startupnotify>. It's an option for execute actions.
* New combined client menu, accessed with
<action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>

openbox-session command
* Many code paths made significantly faster
* Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
save/restore and input focus handling
* Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
* Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
* Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
* Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency
* Resize grips (with mouse binding contexts) for the top, left, and right of
the window frame
* Smarter about keeping windows on the screen without invading user's
capabilities
* Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far
edges instead of near edges, so if you have two overlapping windows you
can easily put them side by side.
2007-06-03 21:59:52 +00:00

* Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
* Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
* Iconify/restore animation !
* Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)

clicking on the desktop (root window).
* Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
* Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
* Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
* Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
* Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
* Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
* Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
* Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop
(multiple firefox windows for example) - move to the desktop when you're
using the application and it opens a window on another desktop.
* Chrooted key chains, and key quoting through chroots
* New BreakChroot action to break out of the current chroot
* New keychains popup, to show where you are in a keychain
* Improved show-desktop mode. When you open a new window, the old windows
are not all restored
* Add <allDesktops> option to NextWindow and PreviousWindow. The desktop
name will be shown in the focus cycling popup
* Dynamically size the window and desktop dialogs. Desktop layouts that
aren't horizontal look better in the desktop cycling dialog.
* Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
VLC
* Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
protocol
* Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
from other apps like pagers

session with Openbox as the window manager.
* Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
the hideDisabled option from config file)
* Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
* When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
* Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
minimalism
* Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
* Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
application is focused
* Improvements in the distributed themes
* Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
* Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.
5 fonts to be set: ActiveWindow InactiveWindow, MenuHeader, MenuItem and

* Fix incorrect handling of window properties on 64 bit arches.
2006-03-05 23:23:55 +00:00
* Fix pixelsize being the same as size for pango, now it is correct.
* Fix drawing of icons taller than wide, eg gimp.
* Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
way.
* Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
* Add initial per-app settings support.
* Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
* Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse
over some entries without flashing each submenu.
* Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
* Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
2006-08-18 20:30:10 +00:00

to work well.
* Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in

2005-09-25 14:45:24 +00:00
2005-03-25 20:21:29 +00:00
3.3-rc2:
* Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
* Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),
useful when it is not in the above layer.
2005-03-26 06:34:58 +00:00
* Fix transparent terminals not updating when using ToggleDecor.
* Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
thing always.
* Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
* Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
fixes shadows again.
* I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
isn't.
2005-09-01 15:47:06 +00:00
* Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
2005-09-01 16:05:06 +00:00
* Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
2005-03-25 20:21:29 +00:00
2005-03-25 00:00:51 +00:00
3.3-rc1:
* Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
* Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
to be fixed.
2004-09-04 20:16:36 +00:00
* Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
2005-03-25 00:00:51 +00:00
the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
2004-06-23 14:15:22 +00:00
* Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
* Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
anyway, just move the mouse.
* Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
2005-03-25 00:00:51 +00:00
* Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.

2004-04-17 11:36:21 +00:00
3.2:
* Added spanish and swedish translations
* Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
number of the desktop
* Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
* the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
* Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
* Added probably too many options and actions
* ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
doesn't save it to the config
* keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
toggleDecorations
* added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
Nonpixel (this is the default).
2004-04-22 12:50:27 +00:00
* Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
edge, note that the default is true
2004-04-17 11:36:21 +00:00
* warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
* Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
change desktops and have followMouse on)
* Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
grid to start in the middle.
* I think that was everything, have fun
2003-12-22 17:54:40 +00:00
