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

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 ]
- 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.
WindowListMouseButton and ApplicationMenuMouseButton.
- Added 4 options to the configuration file for binding workspace actions to
mouse buttons: MouseLeftButtonAction, MouseMiddleButtonAction,
MouseRightButtonAction and MouseWheelAction. They replace the above 3
removed options, but use a different semantic.
- mouse wheel action is runtime configurable now.

workspace that will not be covered by windows when maximizing, and thus
allowing easy access to the clip or menus using the mouse in this
border area, even when the screen is covered by windows maximized in
both horizontal and vertical directions.
A make clean is needed in src/ because new members were added to the
WPreferences structure in WindowMaker.h
