Matchbox is a GPL'd X11 window manager designed for computers with
little screen real estate, limited input devices and low CPU/storage
resources. Touchscreen PDA's, phones, set top boxes and even watches
fit well into this category. Children or people with disability's may
also find matchbox useful on desktop machines, due to the way it
simplify's window operation.
Matchbox is small, fast, flexible, dependant only on xlib and very
usable.
The Distribution also include various themes and utility programs,
including a dock (or tray) and various simple dock apps useful for
PDA's.
Remove `-p' from mkdir arguments, it is already part of ${MKDIR}.
While here substitute a couple of ${PREFIX} by `%D' in
`@exec ${MKDIR} ...' lines and add a couple of missing `%D' in such lines too!

IcePref is a graphical configuration utility for IceWM. It is written
in python and uses the Gtk toolkit via the PyGTK bindings. It is
capable of configuring all of the settings contained in the
'preferences' file. More features are forthcoming.
Improvements and compatibility issues:
--------------------------------------
* Setup "fvwm" and "fvwm-root" name symlinks for the executable and
the man page when installing, see INSTALL.fvwm.
* New FvwmIconMan configuration syntax now conforms to the syntax of
other modules, see the man page.
* New WindowList option CurrentAtEnd.
* Always display the current desk number in the FvwmPager window title.
* A small security patch regarding TMPDIR.
* fvwm-menu-headlines: updated the site data, added a configurable timeout on
socket reading (20 sec) to avoid fvwm hanging, new --icon-error option.
* Fonts in double quotes now should work in module configurations.

BBrun is a run utility for BlackBox which can be run in the slit
or in withdrawn mode so that it can be bound to a keystroke from bbkeys.
It also features a history list of the most recent commands.

Metacity is not a meta-City as in an urban center, but rather
Meta-ness as in the state of being meta. i.e. metacity : meta as
opacity : opaque. Also it may have something to do with the Meta key
on UNIX keyboards.
- Boring window manager for the adult in you. Many window managers
are like Marshmallow Froot Loops; Metacity is like Cheerios.
- Uses GTK+ 2.0 for drawing window frames. This means colors, fonts,
etc. come from GTK+ theme.
- Has a simple theme system and a couple of extra themes come with it.
Change themes via gconf-editor or gconftool:
gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/general/theme Crux
- Change number of workspaces via gconf-editor or gconftool:
gconftool-2 --type=int --set /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 5
Can also change workspaces from GNOME 2 pager.
- Change focus mode:
gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode mouse
work if you have that in /etc/mk.conf.
Also changce --with-iconpath to --with-imagepath, so the default pixmap
and bitmap path is now correct again. That changed some versions ago.
Fvwm 2.4.7 is a maintenance release for 2.4.6 that fixes a number
of minor or rare problems. System administrators are strongly
encouraged to move to 2.4.6 or 2.4.7 from any earlier 2.4.x release.
Changes:
* Fixed parsing of WindowList with conditions and a position at
the same time that was broken in 2.4.6.
* Fixed some problems with the DeskOnly option of FvwmTaskBar
(windows were duplicated when moving to a different Desk; the
StickyIcon style was ignored).
* Fixed config.h warnings with some compilers introduced in 2.4.6.
* Fixed icon titles being raised when they should not be.
* Fixed initial drawing of the internals of the FvwmPager window.
* Fixed the FvwmAudio compatible mode in FvwmEvent when external
audio player is used.
* Minor improvements in the man page.
Welcome to bbconf, the all-in-one blackbox configuration tool.
Never heard of blackbox before? Well, let's just say that it's the
best Window Manager for X that's out "there" in our humble opinion.
Simply put, this little utility here has such lofty goals as being
the one place where you can configure anything and everything you
need to that has to do with blackbox.
bbconf aims to do that through the use of plugins--plugins which
allow you to configure anything you wish about blackbox or its
helper applications such as bbkeys, bbpager, bbapm, bbmail, bbpal,
etc.
bbconf is distributed with 4 plugins that allow you to configure
blackbox's keybindings, blackbox's styles/themes, and your blackbox
menus and submenus. The architecture of the plugins themselves are
very simple and elegant -- making it easy for anyone else to add
onto the distributed plugins to make it easy to configure whatever
else you want to for your blackbox/X sessions.
Update from version 3.5 to 3.5.2.
from the CHANGES file:
Changes from version 3.5 to 3.5.1
1 - f.initsize : resets a window to its initial size given by the
WM_NORMAL_HINTS hints.
2 - f.ring : Selects a window and adds it to the WarpRing, or removes it if
it was already in the ring. This command makes f.warpring much more
useful, by making its configuration dynamic (thanks to Philip Kizer
<pckizer@tamu.edu>).
3 - f.jumpleft, f.jumpright, f.jumpup, f.jumpdown : takes one integer
argument (the step). These function are designed to be bound to keys,
they move the current window (step * {X,Y}MoveGrid) pixels in the
corresponding direction. stopping when the window encounters another
window (ala f.pack).
Changes from version 3.5.1 to 3.5.2
1 - f.moveresize : Takes one string argument which is a geometry with the
standard X geometry syntax (e.g. 200x300+150-0). Sets the current
window to the specified geometry. The width and height are to be given
in pixel, no base size or resize increment are used.
2 - AutoLower et f.autolower : from Kai Grossjohann
(Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE). Same as autoraise but with lower.
3 - WindowRingExclude : Takes a window list as argument. All listed windows
will be excluded from the WarpRing.
4 - A new menu : 'TwmIcons' same as 'TwmWindows', but shows only iconified
windows. I did this when I got bored of having icons. Now I have no
icons and no icon managers. I use this menu to deiconify windows.
When I was young, I liked to have brightly colored icons, but now that
I am getting old(er), I prefer a bare desktop.
Changes since 0.61.1:
- the lock modifier code handles user redefined modifiers better
- check if the locale actually needs multibyte support before using multibyte
functions
- use srcdir in all of the makefiles
- general code touchups
- blackbox-nls.hh is always generated even if --disable-nls is used.
This allows us to not have all of those hideous #ifdef NLS chunks.
Nothing to worry about, if you do not want NLS this does not affect you
- Workspace::placeWindow() cleanups. Also a speed bump from reducing the
use of iterator->current() and changing the delta from 1 to 8
- fixed a desciptor leak in BScreen::parseMenuFile, seems opendir
lacked a matching closedir.
- fix transient window handling code in Workspace::removeWindow() so
transients give focus back to their parents properly. The code originally
handled sloppy focus then transient windows, so we just flopped the
if/elsif. This is immediately noticable with web browsers and their open
location windows.
- fixed list::insert so you really can insert at item number 2. While there
I cleaned up the code a bit.
- added decoration to the atom state stored in a window
- fixed the window menu gets left open when another window button is pressed
issue with a call to windowmenu->hide() in window->maximize()
- applied xOr's patch for decoration handling
- applied xOr's patch for the maximize, shade, unmaximize bug
- applied Kennis' patch for sending incorrect Slit configure notices
- BlackboxWindow's flags have been moved into a flags structure
- applied xOr's patch for border handling
- resizing a window turns off its maximized flag. Before a resized window
thought it was still maximized and maximizing a double action
- BlackboxWindow::withdraw no longet sets the state to Withdrawn.
This confused some X clients.
- the menu file mentioned in the manpage is now based on DEFAULT_MENU
- menu is no longer installed, you need to copy it yourself
- the lock modifiers no longer stop blackbox!
- maximize a window via bbkeys and the maximize button is not redrawn, fixed
- autoraise and multiple dialog windows yields segv bug fixed
also lengthened the default auto raise delay from 250 to 400
- another iteration of autoraise and dialog box handling, this time we
noticed that nothing ever reset blackbox.focused_window to 0 when a window
was removed
- check if the window is visible before changeBlackboxHints() calls maximize
- placeWindow no longer takes edgeSnapThreshhold into account
- ignore style files ending in ~
- support locale specifiers with @euro in them
- Toolbar name editing buffer reduced to 128 chars, logic added to make sure
this buffer is not overrun
As well as NLS improvements and other minor bug fixes.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

* New conditional command ThisWindow.
* Better support of non ISO-8859-1 window and icon titles.
* Bug fixes
Apart from fixing a number of minor or rare problems, it addresses
slow opaque window movement and resizing that was not encountered in
the 2.2.x releases. If you do not use opaque window movement or resizing
and did not encounter any of the bugs described below you do not need
to upgrade. System administrators are strongly encouraged to move to
2.4.6 from any earlier 2.4.x release.
