0.5.0 -- "The two-headed monster"
- Properly unmap mini-windows if their client vanishes
- New ignoreSkipTaskbar configuration option (general section) to make
skippy ignore application's requests to hide from the taskbar
- Fix for weird condition grouping Gimp (and most likely others as well)
- Escape button closes the Skippy window and restores focus
- Restore the window stacking order after snapping windows
- Fixed sticky / omnipresent windows when using a GNOME WM Spec WM.
- Added "useNETWMFullscreen" boolean to the config's [general] section.
Set it to false if your WM doesn't handle _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN
corectly (option doesn't do anything if your WM doesn't support
this state)
- In case of Xinerama, show only windows that are at least partially visible
on the current head (use the new Shift modifier to show windows from all
heads). Shift / non-shift behaviour can be toggled in ~/.skippyrc by
setting the 'showAll' option to 'true' in the [xinerama] section.
- Added basic Xinerama support. Skippy will only show itself on head that
the mouse is on.
0.4.1 -- "Cleaning up the goo"
- Tile the root pixmap, if needed
- Fixed strange problem.. Thanks SuperBFG7
- In a NETWM environment, only use _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN if it's
available, otherwise revert to an override redirected window
- Fixed some (pretty serious) logic errors
- Added (old) GNOME WM Spec support (works with WindowMaker now, if it was
compiled with gnome support)
- Fixed wallpaper (root pixmap) related segmentation faults
- Fixed segfault on startup (which was easily mistaken for being a problem
related to a lack of a configuration file)
Also install default config file in examples dir.
DESCR:
===========================================================================
Skippy is what is best described as a full-screen task-switcher for X11. It
tries to provide an alternative when taskbars or regular task-switchers
aren't the most efficient way of switching tasks (like when you have a lot
of applications open). When activated (currently only through a hotkey), it
will arrange and scale snapshots of all windows on the current desktop and
it'll let you pick a window using a mouse or a keyboard.
It is pretty similar to a tool made by Apple, called Expose -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/expose/
Skippy depends on a NetWM compliant window-manager. So far, it's been tested
using OpenBox-3.2, Fluxbox-0.9.9 and XFWM4 -- but BlackBox, ion, and
WindowMaker aren't supported, although the WindowMaker team is working on
NetWM compliance.
