When the execute action was run, we would say that the user had used the focused
at that time. Then when a new window popped up, we'd think the user was busy in
the current window and prevent the new one from steal focus.
Now the execute action does not update the "user interacted with the focused
window" timestamp anymore. So, if they aren't currently typing in some window
when they trigger an execute action, and the window appears, it will steal
focus.
In Openbox 3.4 we used the group leader's WM_CLASS value when it was available.
This prevents windows in the group from overriding with a specific value,
however which is bad. More rationale can be found in
http://icculus.org/pipermail/openbox/2010-September/006790.html
Some applications (eg. Firefox) use command line flags to set the WM_CLASS
property on the group leader but do not change the property on the mapped
windows themselves. This makes matching these windows not possible in Openbox
3.5.
We resolve this by exposing the group's WM_CLASS values alongside the individual
window's values. We add _OB_APP_GROUP_NAME and _OB_APP_GROUP_CLASS properties
along with "groupname" and "classname" attributes for the rc.xml application
tag.
When the given file name can not be found in your XDG_CONFIG_HOME, ie in
~/.config/openbox, then try the file name directly.
This means if you specify a menu file such as "/home/dana/helloworld.xml",
openbox will try, in order:
1) ~/.config/openbox/home/dana/helloworld.xml
2) /home/dana/helloworld.xml
And it will load the file you meant when it tries the second one.
Adds a new placement algorithm that finds a place on the monitor that overlaps
the least amount of windows as possible.
Original patch by Ian Zimmerman <itz@buug.org>.
Port to Openbox 3.5 by David Vogt <dv@adfinis.c>.
Previously we would try to find the primary monitor and use that when the search
was outside any monitor. However, if the primary monitor is chosen by the mouse
position and the mouse is not inside any monitor, we enter infinite recursion
trying to find the primary monitor.
The nearest monitor is a better metric anyhow, and this ensures
screen_find_monitor() is never recursive as it always returns a value without
depending on other screen.c methods.
When monitors overlap (this happens with cloning), we were choosing a monitor
to associate with a window, for maximization for example, somewhat arbitrarily.
Now we have a more clever algorithm that considers the configured primary
monitor first, and that does not prefer monitors based on their sizes, but only
how much of the window is in the monitor, excluding parts that were claimed
by another monitor already.
release/bugs: Prints a list of bugs that are mentioned in git commits for a
git revision, since previous release.
- Very useful for updating the CHANGELOG file!
release/go: Tests a git revision for correct compilation, and prepares files
for release.
- Makes the tarball
- Makes a GPG signature for the tarball
- Tags the release
- Spits out URLs to edit and gives the changelog for copy/paste.
release/email: Sends an email to the Openbox mailing list with the changelog
and details about the release. Call this with the same parameters used for
running release/go once it is finished, and the files are uploaded, etc.
- Also emails mikachu re freshmeat.net
We were finding the KeySym first, and then converting back to a modifier mask.
But KeySym on a key's release can differ from on its press, and we don't need
them to determine the modmask from the keycode.
[setxkbmap -option "grp:shifts_toggle"] turns Shift_L into XK_ISO_Prev_Group on
key release, and Shift_R into XK_ISO_Next_Group.
Make mod state passing more consistent, and always give actions the full state
instead of stripping sometimes. (They ended up expecting it stripped always).
We run by default with a panel (default gnome-panel) and then run Openbox
without any panel if one cannot be found.
- Adds a fallback session for if a panel (default gnome-panel) not found.
- Removes notifications as a requirement. Seems to be a legacy thing judging
from the ubuntu .session files. Notifications are being provided by
notify-osd on modern systems, and you can't check for its presence in
gnome-session (gnome-classic.session always fails because it looks for it, so
ubuntu falls back to gnome-fallback.session).
splits client_setup_decor_and_functions() into 3 functions.
1. add client_setup_default_decor_and_functions()
- called from client_get_all() to get the maximum decor/functions that will
be available for use by the client.
2. add client_setup_decor_undecorated()
- sets up the client's undecorarted decor if the flag is set by the per-app
settings or session state.
- we do this before setting up the frame so the frame reflects the window as it
should be when getting placed.
3. client_setup_decor_and_functions()
- calls the above 2 to perform the same functions as before.
- added to client_apply_startup_state() so that we can ensure it was run fully
at least once in the mapping process, since it is not called in
client_get_all() anymore.
It will get the primary monitor if there is not monitor under the pointer. But
assert so it's clear something went wrong if this does happen. Note that there
was previously no check for the return value even though the comment claimed
there should be.
