Hi there,
things get more and more stable and usable, thus it is time once
again to release a new snapshot which can be downloaded from:
http://wmii.de/snaps/wmii-20060309.tar.gz (59kB)
This snapshot contains many changes:
- Fixed several crashing bugs (much more stable than yesterday's
snap)
- Implemented /ws/sel/sel/class (/client/X/class) file which
contains the class:instance string of the specific client
- tags which are prefixed with the '~' character have the effect
that the specific client is forced to be floating
- Transient windows have this prefix now
- Implemented /def/class namespace which can be used to
predefine specific tags for special class:instance definitions
of clients, ie
wmiir create /def/class/'Gimp:*'
echo -n '~3' | wmiir write /def/class/'Gimp:*'
which results that all Gimp windows will appear floating in
tag 3.
- If you don't supply any tag after the floating character (~),
then an entry will only force that the specific class:instance
is attached as floating, regardless the client, ie:
wmiir create /def/class/Xterm:xterm
echo -n '~' | wmiir write /def/class/Xterm:xterm
which results that all xterms will be attached as floating and
inherit the tag of the specific ws (or /def/tag if none
exists).
- If you apply a tag like '~1 2' to a client this will force
wmii to show it floating in tag "1" and normal in tag "2".
- wmiir create has been changed, it does not implies any write
anymore (this is because one might want create directories)
- the /bar/ namespace has been changed as well, the /bar/new
mechanism is gone, instead you create labels through, ie
wmiir create /bar/status
This has the advantage that you can easily dynamically create
remove labels. The labels are sorted alphabetically to its
directory names defined in the create argument.
- The mentioned bar change allows us to display all labels which
are currently in use in the bar and you can simply click a
label ($MODKEY-Control-t has been removed, because it is much
simplier now).
- $MODKEY-space sends the selected client to the floating layer,
- $MODKEY-Shift-space sends the selected client to the first
column (this allows moving clients between floating/managed
layer)
- a new restacking algorithm makes sure that floating clients
are always top-most
- fixed several focus issues recently reported
Have fun && kindly regards,
