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.
Previously, plmenu already existed in the source directory, and that's where
make looked for it. Now, however, it is generated to include the proper
path to WPrefs and therefore is in the build directory.
See
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Makefile-Basics.html
for more about this distinction.
A few files are generated using custom commands, which so far did not
follow the silent rule as the compilation stuff.
This patch adds the needed stuff so they will also be silent if the user
wants so, leading to a cleaner build process where warning/error messages
are more visible.

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.
According to NEWS, the DisplayFont option was removed in version 0.62.0 and
replaced by the WINGs system font. However, it was still referenced in a large
number of style files, as well as the utils getstyle, setstyle, convertfonts,
and the manpages for getstyle and setstyle. This patch removes all of these
references.
In addition, it updates the Czech, Slovak, and Russian translations of these
manpages to match the English versions. Note that I relied on Google translate, and it appears I may have re-encoded some characters when I saved the Czech
and Slovak files -- if you speak these languages, please take a look!
A few minor spelling errors were corrected in the English manpages.
All the non-Window Maker-specific icons have been removed from the default
configuration in WMWindowAttributes.
In addition, the icon for drawers has been added to WMWindowAttributes. Also,
it has been changed from a .png file to a .tiff and .xpm to bring it in line
with the other provided icons.
Update: in the original version of this patch, I neglected to modify the
appropriate Makefile.am to account for the drawer icon changes.
Drawers are horizontal docks, and they can themselves only live in the dock
To use them, right click on the dock or a docked appicon and select "Add
a drawer". Then move appicons into the drawer (drag them with the
mouse). You may change the icon of the drawer. By default, drawers
auto-expand and -collapse, and auto-raise/lower. This can be customized
in the same way as for the clip.
Set DisableDrawers to YES in G/D/WindowMaker if you do not want to see
the menu entry to add a drawer.
Just discovered this bug: the auto-attract icon functionality will not
work (to be precise, it crashes WM!) if the clip is disabled
(NoClip=YES). Will fix shortly, of course.
The options are ClipAutoraiseDelay, ClipAutolowerDelay, ClipAutoexpandDelay, ClipAutocollapseDelay
The default values are weird but merely represent the previously
hard-coded ones. They are repeated in Defaults/WindowMaker to avoid a
WPrefs crash (but it's a good idea to make them "visible", too)
WPrefs change coming up
The CachedPixmap folder is added to the icon list. This is because
if one icon is created, but the user change it and set other icon, the first
icon cannot be selected anymore using the settings window. The user
needs modify the configuration files by hand.
Some extra paths are added to the debian default config file.
Make it launch WPrefs instead of displaying GNUstep information.
GNUstep information under a dockbutton is unneeded and it's commonly replaced
by WPrefs. This also is giving one extra space for another dockapp.
Instead of using the --disable-verbose-compile hack, let's
use the standard option --enable-silent-rules (or 'make V=0' directly)
available with autoconf 1.11 and higher.
This is enabled in autoconf by using 'silent-rules' in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE.
The verbosity of compilation is reduced in a similar manner as using
the --disable-verbose-compile option, so we can remove all that ugly
hackery.
Correct floppy mountpoint location to match FHS.

Purpose
This directory contains subdirectories which are used as mount points for removeable media such as floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks.

The raising and lowering of the clip is already taken care of
by the "ClipRaiseLowerKey" shortcut.
wmaker gets a bit smaller for free:
text data bss dec hex filename

449307 17256 8192 474755 73e83 src/.libs/wmaker.new
This patch adds the DockRaiseLowerKey shortcut, which raises/lowers
the dock depending on whether the dock is lowered/raised.
[crmafra: Reformatted Brad's patch against git repo and removed the
DockRaiseKey and DockLowerKey shortcuts ]
Let's remove the configuration options about "sound" from
WPrefs (as it was never fully functionall anyway) and from
configuration files.
Remove also the xpm and tiff icons.
This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of
CC array.o
CC bagtree.o
CC configuration.o
CC connection.o
CC data.o

- Fixed WPrefs path in the installed WMState (changed after recent WPrefs
installation path changes)
- Fixed wmaker.inst (apparently some very noisy individual was unable to get
right his 10 line patch to rename a path)
- Keep menu and title text at 12px since there is not constrained by width
- Removed some obsoleted options from wconfig.h
- Added a lighter image for the switch panel
This was we internally only deal with fc names and properties. It will
incur a small performance hit as the font needs to be parsed/unparsed,
but this is only for backward-compatibility to support old xlfd names.
People are encouraged to swtich to fontconfig names.
- WINGs no longer adds sans as a fallback for internal fonts. It is
automatically done by fontconfig (if it can't find the requested font
it will use the closest match which is the default font: sans-serif)
- Added code to honor the AntialiasesText global option
- Fixed style names for WMCopyFontWithStyle()
- Added fonts in style files where they were missing. Also changed some
fonts to better defaults.
- Fixed bug in icon chooser dialog that could cause a segmentation fault
in some cases (Pascal Hofstee <caelian@gmail.com>)
- Fixed crash in asm code in wrlib, with new versions of gcc.
- Fixed bug in the x86_PseudoColor_32_to_8() function which incorrectly
used the r, g, b fields in the conversion.
- Fixed x86 ASM code in wrlib to work on 64 bit architectures.
- Fixed the focus flicker seen with some apps (notably gtk2)
(Alexey Spiridonov <snarkmaster@gmail.com>)
- Fixed all crashing bugs that were generated by wmaker starting with the
WMState file missing.
- Added NetWM support (a modified version of the patch originaly written
by Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied patch to enhance the Virtual Desktop behaviour, and to integrate
it with the NetWM code (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied a few xinerama and placement fixes (Peter Zijlstra
<a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Fixed memory leak in dock code.
- Fixed and enhanced the text wrapping in WINGs.
- Fixed the layout of some elements in WPrefs.app
- Added workaround for aplications that don't set the required hints on the
client leader window, but they set them on normal windows (observer with
KDE 3.3.0 mainly). This will allow these apps to get an appicon again.
(they should be fixed still)
- Added workaround for applications that do not set a command with
XSetCommand(), but instead they set the _NET_WM_PID property. This works
with operating systems that offer a /proc interface similar to what linux
has. (This also is to fix problems with KDE 3.3.0 apps, but not only them).
- Fixed bug with autostart and exit scripts not being executed if user
GNUstep path was different from ~/GNUstep (when setting GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT)
- Added utf8 support in WINGs (removed old X core font code)
- Added utility to convert old font names to new font names in style files
marked not to be synchronized.
- WMGLOBAL options can now be set in the WindowMaker configuration files
to overwrite values in WMGLOBAL.
- You can now pass "SystemFont", "BoldSystemFont", "SystemFont-##" or
"BoldSystemFont-##", with ## being the font size to any font creating
function to create a font with the (bold) system font font specification.
- Replaced AA with Anitialiased in WINGs font creation function names
- Added WMCreateFontWithFlags(), WMHasAntialiasingSupport() and
WMIsAntialiasingEnabled()
- Created a separate font cacahe for antialiased fonts
- Added test at startup if Xft supports rendering antialiased fonts (in case
the application was compiled with Xft support, but is run on an X server
without support for xft rendering (RENDER extension missing). If no Xft
support antialiasing will be disabled even if it is enabled in the
configuration file.
- Finished the Info Panel to work with antialiased fonts.
- Code cleanup in dialog.c. Remade part of Info Panel drawing the Window Maker
logo.
- Fixed technical style drawing of window resizing.
flickering.
- Added double buffering when drawing WMList items to avoid flickering
- Shared xft drawable
- Renamed AASystemFont and AABoldSystemFont to AntialiasedSystemFont
respectively AntialiasedBoldSystemFont in WMGLOBAL
- WMCreateFont falls back to normal fonts if antialiased fonts cannot be
created (even if enabled)
