Waimea mini pager is a simple virtual desktop pager dockapp for the Waimea
Window Manager. Although it supports simple desktop navigation, its main
purpose is to give the user a feel for where the virtual desktop viewport is
currently positioned.
Approved by wiz.
NovaWM is a window manager for the X Window System (X11). It is developed
with speed, size, and style in mind. NovaWM takes on its own style that
is different than any window manager.
NovaWM has its own toolkit that is much easier to understand and develop
with than most others, though NovaWM itself does not use the toolkit to
create its interface, reducing the dependency on other libraries.

The design goal for waimea is to create the most efficient desktop
working environment available. To achieve this, waimea is a fast and
highly customizable virtual desktop window manager. It uses the blackbox
image rendering engine (blackbox styles support) and can use the Xft
library for font rendering (anti-aliased font support). It also features
a very advanced configuration system with which is possible to make waimea
behave as almost any other window manager.

PR pkg/19341. While we're at it, remove conflict with blackbox since this
release does not use blackbox-nls files anymore and we can depend on
bsetroot as blackbox and openbox do.

be used for openbox as well)
- remove build-dependencies on autoconf and automake by creating the
necessary installation directories by hand
DESCR:
whiteBOX is an attempt to make a flexible yet simple to use
multi-purpose configuration tool for the Blackbox window
manager. whiteBOX is written using GTK+ and the C programming
language.
(Juan at xtraeme dot dyndns dot org) in PR pkg/19107. Minor modifications
by me.
Openbox is a window manager for the X11 windowing system. It currently
runs on a large list of platforms. It was originally based on Blackbox
and currently remains very similar, even using Blackbox styles (with
available extensions) for its themeing and is written entirely in C++
and maintains no dependencies on any libraries other than X11.
This package includes two tools, bsetbg and bsetroot, used by the Blackbox
windowmanager to set the root window's properties. Blackbox shares code
with the Openbox and Hackedbox window managers, which also utilize these
tools, allowing these window managers to share some themes as well.
* Icon titles for windows with an icon position hint no longer
appear at random places.
* Fvwm no longer displays two icon pictures when switching from
NoIconOverride to IconOverride with windows that provide their
own icon window.
* The Current, All, Pick, ThisWindow and PointerWindow commands
work on shaded windows too.
* Fixed a problem stacking iconified transients.
* No more flickering when raising transients.
* Fixed a number of problems with window stacking, some new in
2.4.10 or later, some older problems that have been around for a
long time.
* Windows starting lowered or on any layer other than the default
layer are displayed at the right place in FvwmPager.
* Bindings with the "A"ny context can not be overridden by Gnome
panel or OpenOffice.
Although the computer screen is two-dimensional, today most users of
windowing environments control their systems with a one-dimensional
list of choices -- the standard pull-down or drop-down menus such as
those found on Microsoft Windows, Presentation Manager, or the
Macintosh.
An alternative user-interface technique is "pie" menus -
two-dimensional, circular, and in many ways easier to use and faster
than conventional linear menus. Pie menus also work well with
alternative pointing devices such as those found in stylus or
pen-based systems.
piewm is a virtual window manager based on tvtwm, which uses pie menus.

* Fixed drawing problems with TiledPixmap and Solid MenuFaces which
appeared in 2.4.10, replacing the same problem with ?Gradient
MenuFaces in 2.4.9.
* Fixed accidental menu animation with certain menu position hints.
* Fixed starting "Move" at random position when pointer is on a
different screen.
* Transient windows do not appear in FvwmWinList after they have
been moved on the desktop.
* Increased maximum allowed key symbol name length to 200
characters.
* Allow quotes in conditional command conditions.
Changes:
* Bug fixes and improved behaviour.
* Much improved dock - apps are now freely positionable and dragable.
* New and improved themes.
* Dock and utils now use a shared library, lessening base size.
* 'Mbmenu' - an application lancher now included in distro
* Built in 'task menu' improved
number of themes available for the sawfish window manager. The user can
specify which themes to install by specifying the distfiles in the
environment variable SAWFISH_THEMES; per default, about 185 themes from
themes.freshmeat.net are installed.
Aquaified is another MacOS X theme, with an attempt to make it as
accurate as possible. This theme has accurate mouse-overs, button
order, and function.
- fix recursive redhat-build bug (fixes 577135)
- fix a memory leak in ToolWindow::windowAttributeChange.
- remove server grabs from the Image code. They prove to not be needed (they
no longer exist in the blackbox code.) And they cause the X server to lock
indefinately if you run 2 bbkeys on the same display, running the second
one from a terminal on the display.
- when we recieve a startup message from blackbox, clear out any leftover
windows in the window list. These are caused by the fact that on shutdown
of blackbox, if any windows are unmanaged after bbkeys, bbkeys doesn't get
notified of their destruction and so ends up with extra windows in its list.
- fix compiling issues under solaris. Thanks to grub on irc for use of his
time for testing.
- get rid of work-around for pre-0.60 blackbox, which fixes bug that let you
move the toolbar around with bbkeys.
- fix window focus tracking bug. Fixes bug where you could manipulate the
last focused window on a nono-visible workspace.
- fix multi-head bug in main.cc. We now putenv("DISPLAY=...") so that
applications launched will be launched on the correct display. Thanks to
Greg Gilbert for his patch!
- fix bug in main.cc (| rather than ||). Thanks to Roman Neuhauser!
- fix bug in bbkeys.hh--increasing MaxInstructions to 100 for cthulhain
- fix in bbkeys.cc -- XUngrabKey changed to use same call to find what
screen we're on as the XGrabKey call
- fix in bbkeys.cc -- doing "xterm -e sh -c $command" rather than "xterm -e
$command". Thanks to Magnus Solvang for the bug report. Also, changing
hideous char* and snprintf() to ostrstream, YAY!!
(the first major release from the new maintainer, IIRC). Many new goodies,
bugfixes and overall improvements. This closes PR pkg/18131.
Changes from 0.62.1 to 0.65.0:
- added Taiwan Chinese (zh_TW), Hungarian (hu_HU), Latvian (lv_LV),
Korean (ko_KR), Norwegian (no_NO), Polish (pl_PL), Romanian (ro_RO) and
Ukrainian (uk_UA) nls files and updated most of the others.
- removed the Estonian (ee_ET) and Turkish (tr_TR) locales due to their
being heavily out of date and unmaintained
- remove slit and netwm as compile time options
- strip much of BaseDisplay's original functionality and move it to the
blackbox class.
- huge amounts of internal cleanups
- added emacs local variables to each file that prevent the addition of tabs
- added a Util.cc file which contains useful functions with no obvious home.
- move code over to the STL
- removed several unused variables and otherwise reduced the memory usage
of the objects in Blackbox. For the record the binary is roughly 100k
larger than 0.62.0 and that is mostly due to the STL but there is also a
fair bit of new code. However for the most part blackbox runs faster and
is still one of the leanest window managers out there today.
- bsetroot now sets _XROOTPMAP_ID, so pseudo transparent apps will be happy
- beginnings of a strut implementation. toolbar and slit are removed from
the available screen area if 'full maximize' is not set
- XReparentWindow sends an UnmapNotify to the window manager however
in certain cases the window is already unmapped so the window manager
never gets the event and the unmapNotify event is where reparentNotify was
handled. Added a reparentNotifyEvent handler in the BlackboxWindow class
and a new case in the Blackbox class's process_event function.
- no more blackbox->grab/ungrab calls everywhere
- compression of motion and expose
- Now we have one function which turns ~/ into /home/user/. This is now
called everywhere this expansion should be done. Even added this to the
resource.menu_file so now the menu file may be specified as
~/blackbox_menu.
- added a TimerQueue which is a priority_queue with the ability to release
items it contains before they reach the top of the queue. Also added a
TimerQueueManager protocol class which BaseDisplay now inherits from.
- BTimer now defaults to NOT recurring. Most of the timers in blackbox were
one shots so I saw little benefit in defaulting to repeating timers.
- update transient handling, should solve issues with apps like acroread.
added a getTransientInfo() method of the BlackboxWindow class which
handles checking the transient state in X and setting the appropriate
variables on the window. To attack the infinite loops this
function ensures that client.transient != this and we check for loops
of the form A -> B -> C -> A. The new transient code also allows for one
window to have multiple transients so applications like xmms and web
browsers are better behaved.
- even better ICCCM support and focus handling
- wmswallow works
- fix for clock clipping in the toolbar
- better support for non decorated windows and toggling decor
- the geometry window shown when moving or resizing a window now handles the
parentrelative setting better. parentrelative support has been improved
for all of the other widgets as well.
- better window group handling
- improved edge snap support (still no window to window snapping)
- changing preferences no longer leads to windows being raised
- the window's "send to" menu ignores the current workspace, which is a
better UI approach
- new placeWindow algorithm. Blows the old one out of the water. Not only
is it faster but it is also cleaner code too (-: Went from number 5 in
the profiling results to under 30. Image rendering is now the slowest
part of managing of new windows.
Because of the new code layout, support is now there for new and
different layout options but this will wait for after 0.65.0.
- smart window placement ignores shaded windows now
- new option in the Config menu which allows Scroll Lock to disable
Blackbox's keybindings.
* The commands Maximize, Resize and ResizeMove can be used on icons
as it was in 2.2.x.
* Fixed hilighting of menu items with HGradient and VGradient
MenuFace. Reduced flickering with these options.
* Fixed a minor problem with entering submenus via keyboard.
* Fixed race conditions in FvwmTaskBar with AutoStick that caused
it to hang.
* Fixed drawing of pager balloons with BalloonBack option.
* Fixed drawing of SidePic menu background with B/D gradients.
* Fixed drawing of menu item reliefs with gradient menu faces.
* Fixed key bindings on window corners.
* Fixed FvwmTaskBar i18n font loading
* Fixed StackTransientParent style without RaiseTransient or
LowerTransient on the parent window.
* StackTransientParent works only on parent window if it is on the
same layer.
* Fixed handling of window group hint with the (De)Iconify
command.
* No more flickering when a transient overlapping its parent window
is lowered.
* Fixed hilighting of unfocused windows.

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}.

are like Marshmallow Froot Loops; Metacity is like Cheerios.
- Uses GTK+ 2.0 for drawing window frames. This means colors, fonts,

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.
By default the apm applet is always compiled in unless the lite support is
enabled which turns off way too much.
So, split the apm option out into it's own option and test for it by checking
in Makefile.common for apmvar.h's existance. If it doesn't exist pass
--disable-apm. This makes this compile again on machines that do not have
machine/apmvar.h (and are NetBSD) such as macppc.
Bump version via PKGVERSION to nb1.
Added DefaultGeometry option to database. That should allow to place
window with specifyed geometry when no USPosition was requested,
instead of dragging it around. Useful for things like Netscape.
Example:
Style "*escape*" DefaultGeometry 800x600+10-100
Afterstep-1.8.10 added "Xinerama" support (whatever that is) which we
have to disable in "configure" to build, and multi-head support -- which
is untested on NetBSD.
Follows is the complete ChangeLog since 1.8.9:
1.8.10 patch 1 (sasha+Geoff Burling+Jan Fedak)
o Numerous man page and usage fixes by Geoff Burling.
o Fixed bug in DefaultGeometry handling where check for USPosition/Size
should have been negated.
o Fixed compilation bug in lib/parse.c
o Fixed minor typho in afterstep man page.
o Debugged background setting on multihead config. It apperas that
asetroot cannot be run with -l if it is named other then asetroot.
Otherwise background selection from the menu does not work.
o Updated Clean to use ProcessModuleArgs. Added global var display_name
that is set to --display argument value or env var $DISPLAY 's value.
MOst modules must be updated to remove var with the same name from
main().
o Applied patch from Jan Fedak to add startup geometry to database
parameters.
o Applied patch from Jan Fedak to fix hotkeys in menus.
o Applied patch to get AfterStep to change Icon when Title is changing.
New feel option - FollowTitleChanges in feel has to be used to enable
this feature.
o Fixed Tile's -h handling.
o added support for maximization to not exceed screen size, while
working with xinerama.
o man pages fixes.
o Fixed socket/pipes reading loops to not cause 100% CPU utilization
under CYGWIN and in some cases even on Unix.
o Fixed Menus pointer location handling to use coordinates from events
and not abuse XQueryPointer. Otherwise menus were behaving strange
whenever events were late due to one reason or others.
1.8.9 patch 1 (sasha)
o Fix X libraries order, to have Xext preceed X11 - causes problems on
some Solaris systems.
o fixed two warnings related to time.h
o commented out dependency checking to avoid problems for users with old
compilers. It is not needed in stable series anyways.
o Added functionality to WindowsDesk function. If second argument is
10000 then first is relative desk number, instead of exact.
o Implemented Xinerama support. When window is initially placed - it
will be appropriately moved to not appear in between monitors, unless
user requested geometry explicetely.
o When Xinerama is active, and asetroot is requested to scale or pad
background image to the screen size it will use size of the first head
( the one with origin of 0,0 ).
o Implemented separate Feel, Look, Background and Init/Restart functions
for different screens in multihead config with no Xinerama.
o We now read $TMPDIR in order to locate /tmp directory, and falling back
to /tmp if envvar is not set.
o somewhat fixed Align and Pad fields in the Asetroot config parsing.

Excerpt from ChangeLog since last version (0.3.11):
2001-07-13
Added -V option.
Start the run up to 1.0. Hopefully this will involve solving the
IE bug, but right now I'm not very concerned about it.
2001-08-24
Grab everything with Mod3Mask as well - this should circumvent the
NumLock problem.
2002-01-03
If an app maps itself (EVIL! EVIL! EVIL!), switch to the virtual
desktop it's on before raising it.
2002-01-22 (vatten@users.sourceforge.net)
Added support for vdesk - an external virtual desktop manager
that works by iconifying windows and mapping them back again.
2002-01-24 (vatten@users.souceforge.net)
Added support for the combination of vdesk and the internal
virtual desktop manager.
2002-01-25
Move all the key bindings out into a separate include file and
add a line in Makefile to override KILL key (for cygwin).
