News in 1.0rc3:
* Introduced support for mouse buttons in the keys file
- Mouse buttons are bound to new `keys' Mouse1, Mouse2, etc.
- Also a new modifier `OnDesktop' to specify actions that should take place
when you click on the desktop -- without this, mouse bindings are global
* Added a utility to the project that automatically updates configuration
files when we change the syntax -- your current mouse bindings on the
desktop will be added to your keys file automatically
* Introduced new key command: HideMenus
* Introduced a key command to display a menu stored in an arbitrary file:
CustomMenu /path/to/file
* More extended wm hints support:
* _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_CANCEL (new in version 1.4.draft-1),
* _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS
* _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_MENU
* _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR
* Little simplification of data structure for keybindings
Side effects:
- "Mod4 a b" now behaves like "Mod4 a None b" -- in fact, "None" is now
completely obsolete
- You can press "Escape" to cancel any Emacs-style keychain in progress
(unless it's bound to something else)
- If there is a conflict between bindings, the first one in the file wins
- Fixes handling of keychains like "Mod4 a Mod1 b"
- Should fix some issues with "None" modifier
* Updated following translations:
pt_PT, es_ES, es_AR, pt_BR, de_DE, nb_NO
* Support per-window transparency settings.
( sf.net patch #1511042, feature #1108692 )
- new "Transparency" menu in the window menu
- new apps file attribute:
[alpha] {int int} (or just {int})
Where numbers represent focused and unfocused transparency,
respectively. One number only will be used for both.
- Also, show toggle status for shade and stick in window menu.
* Introduced new key command: SetAlpha [[+-] [[+-]]]
- with no arguments, returns the focused window to default settings
- with one argument, changes both focused and unfocused settings the same
way
- with two arguments, the first changes the focused alpha, and the second
changes the unfocused alpha
E.g. SetAlpha 127 +5 will set the focused alpha to 127 and increment the
unfocused alpha by 5 (until it reaches 255)
* Added resource and menu item for maximizing over external tabs
* Renamed session.screen*.iconbar.deiconifyMode to
session.screen*.userFollowModel (Mark)
This resource is used for:
- clicking a window on a different workspace in the iconbar
- _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages where the source is a pager
- clicking a client in the workspace menu (and the opposite is used for
right clicks)
Possible values are:
- Follow: go to the workspace of the selected window
- Current: bring the window to the current workspace
- SemiFollow: act like Current for iconified windows, else Follow
- Ignore: leave it alone
* Added support for negative arguments to the `Tab' key command to count
backwards from the last tab in the group
* Added option to :Minimize key command to lower all windows in the same
layer as the focused window,syntax is :Minimize (layer)
* Several changes for background style option:
- now support `background: mod' to coincide with fbsetroot -mod --
In addition to `background.color' and `background.colorTo', this option
must also set `background.modX' and `background.modY' to integers
- added `background: none' for styles that do not include a background
- fixed bug with style backgrounds not getting set when changing styles
- updated default styles to be valid wrt background options
* Made some changes to the way autogrouping in the apps file works
- Introduced new syntax [group] (workspace) to group new windows only with
windows on the current workspace.
* XEMBED support for systemtray.
* Added typeahead support to menus (patch by Philipp Goedl, modified by Mark
and Matteo Galiazzo)
- Added new style item menu.frame.underlineColor: for displaying
matching items
* session.screen.defaultDeco now allows same strings as apps file

... (menu) ...

We recommend that all automatic menu generation programs use this

No restart required.

_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE
_NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION (flashing titlebar/iconbar)
_NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS

_NET_WM_STATE_MODAL
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH
_NET_RESTACK_WINDOW
For a complete list of supported net wm atoms
go to: http://www.fluxbox.org/docs/ewmh-support.html
* Added new commands:
* ToggleCmd
Works like a macro but executes the commands one at the time in order.
Example:
Mod1 T :ToggleCmd {Exec xterm} {NextWindow}
When Mod1 T is press the first time it will start xterm, the second time
it will do NextWindow. When it reaches end it will start at the beginning.
* CloseAllWindows
Closes all windows.
* Supports urgency hint ( flashing titlebar/iconbar )
* Pressing shift while pressing enter in menu item will fake a right mouse
button press. Useful for increase/decrease values in menu.
* Updated documentation
* Flashing titlebar/iconbar when the window demands attention with urgency
hint or using _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION.
The blink rate can be configured with the following resource:
session.screen0.demandsAttentionTimeout:
Default value is 500.
If the value is zero this feature will be disabled.
* Better UTF-8 handling
* fbrun: Move the cursor to the end when tab completing
(rfe #1333003, patch #1475578)
* Added option to reverse desktop wheeling (patch #1034287)
session.screen0.reversewheeling: true|false
* Vertical toolbar is back.
* Provide "Key Modes"
- New action in keys file:
Modifier Key :KeyMode
Will define a key binding namespace activated by the given mod/key
combination. The End Modifier and key are optional. They define
the key combination that quits the given key mode. They default
to just 'Escape'.
- New keys file optional prefix:
: Modifier Key :Command
will only work when the keymode is activated.
- is "default" if not specified - so:
**default commands will not be activated inside another keymode**
- Handy Example:
Mod1 X :KeyMode XNest
XNest: Mod1 X :KeyMode default
Will switch to XNest keymode when you press Alt-X. Then the
default bindings will not be caught by normal fluxbox, and will
pass through to an Xnested one! Groovy... Alt-X will switch back
to normal.
