NetWM / EWMH Support
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the EWMH standard has been added. Applications from GNOME 2.x and
|
||||
KDE 3.x should now interoperate better with Window Maker.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for the obsolete/legacy GNOME 1.x, KDE 1.x and OpenLook(!) hints was
|
||||
wiped out for the sake of sanity.

Antialiased font support
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
With the addition of support for antialiased fonts in the WINGs library, now
|
||||
Window Maker can also support antialiased fonts.
|
||||
With the addition of Xft2 support in the WINGs library, now
|
||||
Window Maker can display antialiased text with TrueType or any scalable fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
Antialiased text can be enabled either by adding AntialiasedText = Yes;
|
||||
in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker or by launching WPrefs and checking the
|
||||
"Smooth font edges" in the Expert User Preferences panel.
|
||||
You can pick fonts for Window Maker in the Font configuration section of
|
||||
WPrefs.
|
||||
|
||||
Antialiased text is enabled by default, but can be disabled by adding
|
||||
AntialiasedText = NO; in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL
|
||||
Note that bitmapped fonts look much better than TrueType when antialiasing is
|
||||
disabled.

UTF-8 Support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Window Maker now uses UTF-8 internally (and thus can display UTF-8 text
|
||||
in window titles and other places). Menus and po files must now be
|
||||
encoded in UTF-8. If your menus contain non ASCII characters, you can convert
|
||||
them to UTF-8 with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
iconv -f <current-file-encoding> -t utf-8 <filename> > <filename>.utf8
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 menu > menu.utf
|
||||
mv menu.utf menu

Icon Panel for Alt-Tabbing
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A panel with icons for the windows that you can switch to will appear
|
||||
when you press Alt-Tab. You can navigate through the windows with Alt-Tab
|
||||
(Alt-Shift-Tab) or with the left/right keys once the panel is shown.
