1News in 1.0rc3: 1News in 1.0:
2 * Introduced support for mouse buttons in the keys file 2 * Fixed shape handling, now shaped corners have border.
3 - Mouse buttons are bound to new `keys' Mouse1, Mouse2, etc. 3 * Allow negative numbers in command "Workspace"
4 - Also a new modifier `OnDesktop' to specify actions that should take place 4 * Added utility fluxbox-remote
5 when you click on the desktop -- without this, mouse bindings are global 5 * Allows script access to most fluxbox commands;
6 * Added a utility to the project that automatically updates configuration 6 Support must be turned on in the init file with
7 files when we change the syntax -- your current mouse bindings on the 7 session.screen<N>.allowRemoteActions; the syntax is, e.g.,
8 desktop will be added to your keys file automatically 8 fluxbox-remote "CustomMenu ~/.fluxbox/custommenu"
9 * Introduced new key command: HideMenus 9 * Added keycommands :AddWorkspace and :RemoveLastWorkspace
10 * Introduced a key command to display a menu stored in an arbitrary file: 10 * Added some missing Open Office entries and window managers,
11 CustomMenu /path/to/file 11 plus some other minor changes in fluxbox-generate_menu
12 * More extended wm hints support: 12 * Updated languages:
13 * _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_CANCEL (new in version 1.4.draft-1), 13 sv_SE, zh_CN, de_*, es_ES, es_AR, en_US, en_GB, pt_*
14 * _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS 14 fi_FI, fr_FR
15 * _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU
16 * _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR
17 * Little simplification of data structure for keybindings (Mark)
18 Side effects:
19 - "Mod4 a b" now behaves like "Mod4 a None b" -- in fact, "None" is now
20 completely obsolete
21 - You can press "Escape" to cancel any Emacs-style keychain in progress
22 (unless it's bound to something else)
23 - If there is a conflict between bindings, the first one in the file wins
24 - Fixes handling of keychains like "Mod4 a Mod1 b"
25 - Should fix some issues with "None" modifier
26 * Updated following translations:
27 pt_PT, es_ES, es_AR, pt_BR, de_DE, nb_NO
28 * Support per-window transparency settings.
29 ( sf.net patch #1511042, feature #1108692 )
30 - new "Transparency" menu in the window menu
31 - new apps file attribute:
32 [alpha] {int int} (or just {int})
33 Where numbers represent focused and unfocused transparency,
34 respectively. One number only will be used for both.
35 - Also, show toggle status for shade and stick in window menu.
36 * Introduced new key command: SetAlpha [[+-]<int> [[+-]<int>]]
37 - with no arguments, returns the focused window to default settings
38 - with one argument, changes both focused and unfocused settings the same
39 way
40 - with two arguments, the first changes the focused alpha, and the second
41 changes the unfocused alpha
42 E.g. SetAlpha 127 +5 will set the focused alpha to 127 and increment the
43 unfocused alpha by 5 (until it reaches 255)
44
45 * Added resource and menu item for maximizing over external tabs
46 * Renamed session.screen*.iconbar.deiconifyMode to
47 session.screen*.userFollowModel (Mark)
48 This resource is used for:
49 - clicking a window on a different workspace in the iconbar
50 - _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages where the source is a pager
51 - clicking a client in the workspace menu (and the opposite is used for
52 right clicks)
53 Possible values are:
54 - Follow: go to the workspace of the selected window
55 - Current: bring the window to the current workspace
56 - SemiFollow: act like Current for iconified windows, else Follow
57 - Ignore: leave it alone
58 * Added support for negative arguments to the `Tab' key command to count
59 backwards from the last tab in the group
60 * Added option to :Minimize key command to lower all windows in the same
61 layer as the focused window,syntax is :Minimize (layer)
62 * Several changes for background style option:
63 - now support `background: mod' to coincide with fbsetroot -mod --
64 In addition to `background.color' and `background.colorTo', this option
65 must also set `background.modX' and `background.modY' to integers
66 - added `background: none' for styles that do not include a background
67 - fixed bug with style backgrounds not getting set when changing styles
68 - updated default styles to be valid wrt background options
69 * Made some changes to the way autogrouping in the apps file works
70 - Introduced new syntax [group] (workspace) to group new windows only with
71 windows on the current workspace.
72 * XEMBED support for systemtray.
73 * Added typeahead support to menus (patch by Philipp Goedl, modified by Mark
74 and Matteo Galiazzo)
75 - Added new style item menu.frame.underlineColor: <color> for displaying
76 matching items
77 * session.screen<N>.defaultDeco now allows same strings as apps file
