1 | This file is intended to provide a rough roadmap of the development | ||
2 | towards the Fluxbox 1.0.0 release. | ||
3 | |||
4 | The process will involve a number of development releases in the 0.9 | ||
5 | series until features and execution (i.e. bugs) stabilise. | ||
6 | |||
7 | Some of the interesting new features beyond 0.1.14 that we'd like to work towards are: | ||
8 | |||
9 | - Layer Support | ||
10 | - New action system (key/mouse bindings) | ||
11 | - Tabgroup rewrite (should also allow more commands to act on the whole group) | ||
12 | - Tabs embedded in titlebar | ||
13 | - Most recently used window cycling | ||
14 | - Toolbar modes | ||
15 | - Integration of remember patch (or at least the concept) | ||
16 | - Smarter config menus (ability to modify numeric values) | ||
17 | - fix Xinerama support again | ||
18 | - XRandr support | ||
19 | |||
20 | Some minor ones (mainly bugfixes or small things) that I feel like noting are | ||
21 | (many of these based on feature requests or bug reports from sourceforge): | ||
22 | |||
23 | - Key bindings for: | ||
24 | -> restart | ||
25 | -> specific tab numbers | ||
26 | -> tabgroup keybindings | ||
27 | -> menu navigation | ||
28 | -> moving windows to next workspace/tabgroup | ||
29 | - fix up focus issues (click to focus sometimes acts like sloppy) | ||
30 | - proper initialisation from hints (e.g. Eterm -D 2) | ||
31 | - fix toggledecoration to not give tabs back etc | ||
32 | - snap to windows | ||
33 | - Pixmap buttons | ||
34 | - Shaped menus/toolbar/slit | ||
35 | - improved command line output for help option (plus include compile-time options | ||
36 | etc in output for improved bug reporting) | ||
37 | - layer configuration things for toolbar/slit/numlayers | ||
38 | - fix outline window moving | ||
39 | |||
40 | Some lower priority ones ("thoughts"/maybes): | ||
41 | |||
42 | - transparency (major) | ||
43 | - keybindings for directional focus moving: | ||
44 | -> nextWindowLeft/Right/Up/Down | ||
45 | - looks for the window left of the current one, and gives it focus | ||
46 | - more powerful autogrouping matching | ||
47 | - stop window movement by clicking on border (only on frame instead) | ||
48 | - mouse button "keys" | ||
49 | - ability to specify keybinding actions for titlebar buttons (i.e. configurable actions for titlebar buttons). | ||
50 | |||
51 | Notes: | ||
52 | - (optional) Unique per-workspace backgrounds | ||
53 | => To be made into separate application, if time permits will try to | ||
54 | get this done before 1.0.0rc1 | ||
55 | |||
56 | Known Bugs (to be looked at at some time): | ||
57 | - Focus acts sloppy on window close/warp, or when decoration-less window is "focused" | ||
58 | |||
59 | Fixed known bugs: | ||
60 | - Doesn't redraw properly after unshade | ||
61 | |||
