Just a cosmetic change as the variable is currently not in use.
According to the Motif Toolkit API and MwmUtil.h, the last long
variable from the Motif WM Hints struct is currenlty used
for the status.
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.
As discussed on the ML, the test to check for CARD16 limit is probably innacurate.
Check instead for maxH and maxW which are set by default to twice the size
of the screen or to the max values passed by the window normal hints property.
According to ICCM specs at [1]
*Not changing the size, location, border width, or stacking order of the window at all.
A client will receive a synthetic ConfigureNotify event that describes the (unchanged)
geometry of the window. The (x,y) coordinates will be in the root coordinate system,
adjusted for the border width the client requested, irrespective of any reparenting
that has taken place. The border_width will be the border width the client requested.
The client will not receive a real ConfigureNotify event because no change has actually
taken place.
*Moving or restacking the window without resizing it or changing its border width.
A client will receive a synthetic ConfigureNotify event following the change that
describes the new geometry of the window. The event's (x,y) coordinates will be in
the root coordinate system adjusted for the border width the client requested.
The border_width will be the border width the client requested. The client may not
receive a real ConfigureNotify event that describes this change because the window
manager may have reparented the top-level window. If the client does receive a
real event, the synthetic event will follow the real one.
*Resizing the window or changing its border width
(regardless of whether the window was also moved or restacked).
A client that has selected for StructureNotify events will receive a real
ConfigureNotify event.
Note that the coordinates in this event are relative to the parent,
which may not be the root if the window has been reparented. The coordinates will
reflect the actual border width of the window (which the window manager may have
changed). The TranslateCoordinates request can be used to convert the coordinates
if required.
In Window Maker, the first case is not implemented: doing a synthetic ConfigureNotify
to notify no changes were done. That's creating some issues with app like Citrix icaclient
when sometime windows are blank and need to be moved to be refreshed.

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.
Since 48d4820dee the dock is positioned
dynamically based on the screen midpoint.
The side issue using such method is if in case the screen was temporarily
resized the dock as a chance to be displayed on the other side making
the drawer saved configuration from WMState esp the direction wrong when
wm is started again.
For example, the dock and drawer are displayed on the right of the screen.
Then the screen resolution is downsized temporaily to half or less of
the previous size. The position stored in WMState will be updated and the
direction of the drawer is still opening on the left.
But on next wm start, when reading the conf.
The position of the dock and drawer are corresponding to the
middle or less of the unresized screen. The dock and drawer will be sticked
on the left. But the drawer direction was not updated and still opening
on the left (which is out of the screen).
Several variable declarations were recently added immediately after
labels, but this causes compile errors in GCC versions prior to 11,
e.g.,
wsmap.c: In function ‘handle_event’:
wsmap.c:534:4: error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration is not a statement
534 | WMScreen *wmscr = wsmap->scr->wmscreen;
| ^~~~~~~~
We move these declarations to the top of the corresponding switch
statements so that Window Maker can compile on these older versions of
GCC.
When that option is on, swapping drawer does not always mean
swapping drawer direction. For example if drawer is on the left
side of the second head and moving to the left side of the first head,
the direction should be the same.
Commit 6e2075f3df from 2020 added
a feature to maximize window when double clicking on the titlebar.
But unmaximizing is not supported so when double clicking again
on the window titlebar the window geometry was not reverted back.
When the workspace pager is displayed it's showing grey mini workspaces
for non rendered/non visited workspaces. That patch is adding an exclamation
mark in the middle of the dummy grey background mini workspaces.
For some apps the background is not displayed properly, showing
some kind of shawow around the app icon like for example firefox
or skype. This is due to an issue in combining alpha channels.
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.
Whenever wtokensplit is used to split into argv/argc, it's better to
use the built-in function wtokenfree() as a wfree call only on argv
is not freeing the memory properly.
The patch fixes the compiler warning below
menu.c: In function 'restoreMenuRecurs':
menu.c:2450:47: warning: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 510 bytes into a region of size between 509 and 1019 [-Wformat-truncation=]
2450 | snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%s\\%s", path, menu->frame->title);
| ^~
The code is taking care of checking properly the string passed to the buffer,
so there is no issue, the change is just to make the compiler happy.
The patch is trying to mitigate and properly address the issue described at
https://github.com/window-maker/wmaker/issues/26
A buggy application (in that example virtualbox) is requesting a window size creation
that is way too big and basically at the limit of X11 protocol
(width and height are defined as CARD16).
See details at https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/xproto/x11protocol.html
During the tests, virtualbox has been seen requesting for window creation of size 843x65508.
Even xprop is reporting incorrect values.
There had been an attempt before with the commit
https://repo.or.cz/wmaker-crm.git?a=commit;h=6668715402a5d8e2ecda6702076a06bf8988721e
But the patch is broken and not implemented at the right place.
As described in the wWindowConfigure function header, the size passed by the client app
should not be trusted and should be vetted with a prior call to wWindowConstrainSize.
wWindowConstrainSize call was missing only once in the wClientConfigure function from client.c
What wWindowConstrainSize doing now is basically setting a failsafe window size fo 640x480
if both width and height are above the size of CARD16.
If only one dimension is oversized, it's setting a default 4/3 window ratio.
Oversized here has not been changed and it's defined in windowmaker as double the screen size.
Window maximize state is not persistent between windowmaker sessions.
This patch is updating the save and restore workspace state functions
to update the state in the WMSTATE file.
If windowmaker was compiled with libXRes,
add XRes info in the "Additional support" section.
Take also the chance to remove the mode +x on the source code file.
For apps which are not setting the window WM_COMMAND property like those old
apps using Motif toolkit (I am thinking of NEdit for example)
it's bringing some issues in windowmaker which is relying on it for a few interactions.
Especially,
*an app without WM_COMMAND will not be saved during the workspace state
(so session restore is not working for them)
*when added to the dock, the settings parameters are empty and need to be filled
*cannot autostart from the dock (even if the settings are manually filled and saved)
*right click on the app titlebar, and choosing Launch has no effect
Most of the time, those apps are also not setting the X11_NET_WM_PID property.
With the pid we could have a chance to find the running program.
To link a window to a pid, there is the X11 Resource extension library (libXRes).
After checking, gnome and xfce are also using the same method to handle such issues.
The patch is checking if the libXRes is present on the system (but it's not mandatory to compile).
Then, it adds a layer on top of wNETWMGetPidForWindow to not only check the window property
but if necessary to get the underlying pid from libXRes if available.
That's solving the points mentioned above.

The patch below allows the workspace state to be saved for those apps without WM_COMMAND
that have been launched from the dock. We are just reusing what have been set in the
Application Path Settings of the dock app (and it does not require extra libs like libXRes).
The patch is to fix warnings like:
wsmap.c: In function "update_mini_workspace":
wsmap.c:451:55: warning: "%d" directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 11 bytes into a region of size 10 [-Wformat-truncation=]
451 | snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%d", general_index);
If you are trying to maximize old apps that are setting a resize increment
in term of WM_NORMAL_HINTS notion the window will not be maximized fully (by a few pixels).
It's easy to reproduce with xterm, ctrl double click on the title bar.
xprop extract sample is giving:
program specified resize increment: 6 by 13
For those maximized windows the patch is just ignoring the resize increment.
Seems the same issue happened on that project
https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM/issues/106
Rely on old utsname and os-release (http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release) when available
to display more underlying OS details in the Info panel.
The idea is when someone creates a bug entry we can request them to copy/paste that screen
to give more info about the context that could help us debug the issue.
For example, on my current system it's displaying:
"Running on: Ubuntu 22.10 (x86_64)"
When debug is enabled, the memory allocated details is supposed to display the free chunks
but as the text length is too long it's getting out of the display area.
This patch is increasing the window width to handle such case.
Replacing mallinfo with mallinfo2.
The fields of the mallinfo structure that is returned by the
older mallinfo() function are typed as int. However, because
some internal bookkeeping values may be of type long, the
reported values may wrap around zero and thus be inaccurate.
