This patch adds a new Central feature under the window menu
"Other maximization" entry.
Shortcut can be configured via WPrefs "Center active window" action.
When called the active window is centered on the screen head.
If the window height or width are bigger than the head size,
the window is resized to fit.
There are some transitions defined as below:
*from fullscreen to center
*from any corner to center
*from top half to center top half
*from bottom half to center bottom half
*from left half to center left half
*from right half to center right half
Undoing the action is done via the window menu "Unmaximize" entry
or the shortcut.
Add mouse pointer position detection to trigger the corner actions.
Screen corners can be assigned an external command to be
executed when the mouse pointer is entering those areas.
In WPrefs, "Hot Corner Shortcut Preferences" can be used
for configuration or by manually adding a "HotCorners" key
and value to "YES" in the ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file.
Actions are specified by the "HotCornerActions" and are defined
as a four entries list ("top left action", "top right action",
"bottom left action", "bottom right action").
A screen corner area is a cube shape defined by the "HotCornerEdge"
which is a number of pixels from 2 (by default) to 10.
To lower the risk of triggering that feature accidentally a
"HotCornerDelay" key can be used which is the time before the action
is triggered while the pointer is in one of the screen corner.
Default value is 250 ms.
Hot Corners feature is disabled by default.
Align the old maximization descriptions to the new visual indicator
names. The internal shortcut names had also been updated, meaning a
reconfiguration of the shortcuts in WPrefs is required.
This patch adds a feature to take screenshots directly from Window Maker.
Having the feature embeded direclty inside Window Maker allows us to take
advantage of how Window Maker is managing and handling Windows.
Three new actions can be bound to a key shortcut from WPrefs.
The screenshot files are saved in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Screenshots/
dir, with a "screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S" format followed by the
extension. Preferably as a PNG or JPG file if available.
Meaning, to work Window Maker via WRaster needs to support
at least one of those format.
"Capture the entire screen" is quite standard, it takes a screenshot
of the whole screen area (even in multiheads env).
"Capture a portion of the screen" requires the user to draw a rectangle which
will be captured.
Those two first are quite straightforward, just taking a live picture of
the screen.
The last one is "Capture a window" which works in best effort mode,
it catures the focused window. As Window Maker by default is not using
any compositor (like for example Xcompmgr) it can only dump the content
displayed on the screen.
If a window is minimized or out of the screen, there is high chance the
image will be split or some area greyed in case other windows overlapped it.
Once implemented, this will keep the dock on the primary head (when
there are multiple heads) when YES. The default value is NO, the
current behavior, i.e., treat all monitors together as one large screen.
Directory /etc/WindowMaker is for global defaults configuration, it is not
a "data" folder which is $PREFIX/share/WindowMaker.
The name change make it more consistent with other names.
Common WindowMaker's rootmenu behavior if press right mouse button open menu and close only with same button.
It's uncomfortably, it patch allows close menu by left or right is clicked outside focus.
Changed func "static WMenu*configureMenu(WScreen *scr, WMPropList *definition)" to non-static forglobal use.
Added new OPTION_WMAKER for this Expert-option. Changed event.c: for correct work should use initialization
func configureMenu afterwMenuDestroy (this is a feature of the event implementation XEvent).
I noticed one instance of this while looking at the code the other day,
and after a quick grep, realized it happened a *lot*! One of the many
frustrating things about the English language is that we use apostrophes
to make pretty much everything possessive *except* the pronoun "it".
In that case, we use "its". "It's" is reserved for the contraction
meaning "it is" or "it has".
The current findBestIcon function usually selects an icon image
that almost completely fills up the (default) 64x64 pixels of an
icon. As Dan noted in the function, the icon images should use only
75% of the available space, which would result in room for the
miniwindow title and better overall aesthetics.
This feature option provides for enabling such an automatic "icon
shrinking" functionality.
Note: This commit only introduces the new option, not the actual
image shrinking.
Window Maker allows to perform practically all operations with windows
using only keyboard. One of the actions so far which required using
mouse was dragging window from one head (monitor) to another.
This patch introduces support for keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts
move windows in circular fashion (if you have 3 and more monitors).
In case of 2 or 3 monitors arranged horizontally - window will just move
right/left.
In case of 3x3 setup - it is impossible to move window to central
monitor with keyboard.
- preserves window position and size (if display sizes are same)
- otherwise tries to fit window to smaller display
The default configuration options are given in two places in the source
code:
- src/default.c
- WindowMaker/Defaults/WindowMaker.in
The defaults are initially set in the former, but are then overwritten by
the latter.
Ideally, the default options in these two locations should coincide.
However, there are currently several issues.
- Many of the options are missing from WindowMaker/Defaults/WindowMaker.in
- Many of the options have conflicting defaults between the two locations.
- A number of options given in WindowMaker/Defaults/WindowMaker.in no longer
exist.
In this patch, we bring the defaults in the two locations in line with one
another. We have given preference to the defaults in W/D/WindowMaker, as
these are the one users have been used to.
Some of the paths in IconPath and PixmapPath have been removed. In
particular, the various system pixmap paths (/usr/include/X11/pixmaps,
/usr/share/pixmaps, and /usr/local/share/pixmaps) have been removed in
favor of PIXMAPDIR, which is specified by the user at build. Also,
/usr/share/icons has been removed from IconPath. The root of this
directory will contain very few icons, as the icons themselves are located
in subdirectories corresponding to XDG icon themes.
We add a comment to src/defaults.c to remind future developers who
add or remove options to change the default values in both locations.
We also take the opportunity to remove the unused DEF_INFO_TEXT_FONT
macro.
Previously, this was only (partially) possible by redefining the macro
GLOBAL_DEFAULTS_SUBDIR. This told Window Maker to look for the global
config files in a particular subdirectory of SYSCONFDIR.
However:
* This is undocumented.
* GLOBAL_DEFAULTS_SUBDIR is ignored when installing the config files. They
are always installed to SYSCONFDIR/WindowMaker.
To solve these issues, we add a "--with-defsdatadir" option to configure
which allows a user to specify the global defaults directory.
Added new option to Window Maker for enabling alternative way for
half-maximized windows movement. Option can be found on Expert section
in WPrefs app.
Added new option to Window Maker preferences to enable half-maximized
windows movement on all available heads. Option can be found in WPrefs
app on Expert section.
This patch introduces two new configuration values, SnapEdgeDetect and
SnapCornerDetect, which users can set to change the distance from an edge
or corner at which window snapping will begin. The defaults are 1 and 10,
respectively.

As reported by Josip, the code in Window Maker to detect the use of the
legacy keyword "MiniwindowApercuBalloons" and "ApercuSize" was broken,
which means they were always seen as used even when not present.
This patch fixes the detection to only use them if they were effectively
used.

As reported by Nerijus Baliunas and Paul Jakma, the GNOME application,
which use the GTK toolkit, are asking to have no window decoration. This
can be solved by editing the window's attributes in Window Maker, but this
can be tedious when there are many GNOME application used.
This patch adds a configuration option: Window Maker tries to detect for
GTK-based windows and in this case ignore the decoration hints that were
provided by the application.

As pointed by Coverity, there was a memory leak because the buffer used to
create the wmsetbg command is allocated twice.
Because it is not really necessary to call 'wmalloc' for such a small case
(it is not efficient and participates to memory fragmentation), this patch
replaces the dynamic memory allocation by a buffer on the stack, which also
solves to de-allocation issue.

The name of the 2 settings have been changed:
- enable: MiniwindowApercuBalloons -> MiniwindowPreviewBalloons
- size: ApercuSize -> MiniPreviewSize
The old name is still supported to avoid breaking user's configuration, but
WPrefs will update the setting to the new names when updating the
configuration.

To be consistent, all place where the not-properly-written "apercu" was
used in the source code (of wmaker and WPrefs) it has been replaced by an
appropriate "minipreview" or similar, to be in line with the new name
suggested by Yuri Tarasievich.
This new name is better understood by contributors who speak usual english,
but not this word which comes From french but is sparsely understood by
british people.

This path is adding the functions and variables needed for workspace pager preferences.
An option to enable/disable the workspace pager, and one to set a default background image.
In order to make code easier to maintain, the code related to creating the
Helper process (which helps by setting the background of the workspace) is
moved to a dedicated function, which have been moved to the same location
as the function for communicating with the helper.
Took opportunity to de-CamelCase the related names.

There was a probable bug when reading settings, because the function used
was 'getInt' which would try to store the result in a 'char'. As it would
be probably easier for user to have the value directly in pixels, the
storage is now done in an int so there won't be problem anymore.
Changed the behaviour of the constant APERCU_BORDER, which would be assumed
to be the size of the border in pixel, but in previous code it was actually
the sum of the two border (1 on each side). All maths have been changed to
have it as a single border width.
Took opportunity to group variable assignation for titleHeight and
shortenTitle in a single place, because it is not convenient to have them
spread around (one value in the beginning and others later in the code) and
using default values prevents some checks that modern compiler can do to
help produce safer code.

Revert patches that moved variables from WMScreen to global level
because this broke X displays with multiple independent screens and
caused dock and clip icons to become mixed up. When managing multiple
screens each screen used to have it's own state/dock and clip. This
commit restores that by reverting mainly the commits listed below (and
those that are invalidated by reverting these) and fixing up later
commits to apply after the revert.

You can now configure the behavior when dragging a maximized window by setting
DragMaximizedWindow in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker. The options are:
- Move: Move the window and retain its maximized status and geometry (the
current behavior and the default).
- RestoreGeometry: Move the window and unmaximize it, restoring its original
geometry.
- Unmaximize: Move the window and unmaximize it, retaining its maximized
geometry.
- NoMove: Don't move the window.

This patch adds the ability to completely unmaximize, i.e., clear the maximized
flag and return to the original geometry, a maximized window that is moved.
This behavior mirrors that of other common desktop enviroments, e.g., GNOME,
Unity, and Windows.
To enable this feature, set "UnmaximizeOnMove = YES" in
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker.

This patch adds the ability to "snap" a window to one side of the screen by
dragging it to that side. It is enabled by setting WindowSnapping = "YES" in

Note that window snapping is automatically disabled if DontLinkWorkspaces =
"NO", as this feature also involves dragging a window to one side of the

This patch is fixing the shortcut label used in window menu.
As now when a 'control' shortcut was used, the label displayed
was 'bug' cause GetShortcutString fct which is calling wXModifierFromKey
fct was waiting for a 'Control' static string not the default one
set to 'Ctrl' string.
Since the resolution of the Retina display tends to make everything small,
the default apercu preview size (twice the icon size) couldn't be used to
distinguish the window contents without tiring too much my eyes.
Therefore, let's make the apercu size a configurable option. You can set
it through the ApercuSize variable with
$ wdwrite WindowMaker ApercuSize 4
in multiples of the icon size (in this case the apercu size will be four
times the icon size).
The default size remains 2 (twice the icon size).
This patch is adding miniwindow apercu when the mouse
is over the miniwindows.
To enable it you have to run WPref, in Miscellaneous Ergonomic
Preferences, check miniwindow apercus.
Then, you will be able to see a screenshot of the app when the mouse
is over the miniwindow.
