NEWS for veteran Window Maker users
-----------------------------------
--- 0.20.2
The name of WindowMaker was changed to Window Maker.
Window creation animation disabled by default.
xdaliclock -shape
-----------------
If you use it edit src/wconfig.h and #define OPTIMIZE_SHAPE or disable the
titlebar and resizebar for the window. OPTIMIZE_SHAPE will remove the
flickering for xdaliclock and other programs that change their shapes often,
but will increase network traffic considerably. So, if you use xdaliclock
from a remote machine it can get slow.
Applications Menu
-----------------
The applications menu will now use the shell in the SHELL environment
variable to execute EXEC menu commands. If it is unset (I think it's always
automatically set by the shell program) it will use /bin/sh
Extra fancy icon kaboom :)
--------------------------
Edit src/wconfig.h and #define ICON_KABOOM_EXTRA to get
more effects for the icon undocking animation.
Options for superfluous stuff are even more superfluous, so this
will not become runtime.
XDE drag and drop support
-------------------------
Support for XDE drag and drop was added (by "]d" <id@maliwan.org>).
To enable, edit src/wconfig.h
The support works with gtk 1.1.2
libPropList
-----------
libPropList will now be built automatically by wmaker. Wich means
the (simplified) building process is now:
./configure
make
make install
instead of:
tar xzf libPropList.tar.gz
(cd libPropList; make)
make
make install
You also don't need to worry about GNOME libPropList incompatibilities
anymore.
Bug with focus lost in sloppy focus fixed
-----------------------------------------
The bug only occurs in sloppy or auto focus modes, with AutoFocus disabled
and Superfluous enabled. There is no easy/clean way to fix this, so Window
Maker will disable the animation of window creation if the focus mode is
either sloppy or auto AND AutoFocus=NO.
If you want the animation, enable AutoFocus or use manual focus mode
(prefered).
The NoWindowUnderDock option was removed
----------------------------------------
To obtain the same result, use the "Floating Dock" option in the dock menu.
Persistent Program Suplied Icons
--------------------------------
Application supplied icons are now stored, so that the dock will keep
showing them after the app is exited. The icons are stored at
~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker/
--- 0.20.0
Multihead support. wmaker will now manage all screens that are attached to the
display.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It does so from a single process (instead of spawning a new process for each
screen, like fvwm does). This keeps memory usage a lot lower than fvwm.
