Openbox 3.4.11.2

ЭЖД, 8.06.2007 - 1:12

Openbox is a minimalistic, highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.

The *box visual style is well known for its minimalistic appearance. Openbox uses the *box visual style, while providing a greater number of options for theme developers than previous *box implementations. The theme documentation describes the full range of options found in Openbox themes.

Openbox lets you bring the latest applications outside of a full desktop environment. Most modern applications have been written with GNOME and KDE in mind. With support for the latest freedesktop.org standards, as well as careful adherence to previous standards, Openbox provides an environment where applications work the way they were designed to.

Openbox is a highly configurable window manager. It allows you to change almost every aspect of how you interact with your desktop and invent completely new ways to use and control it. It can be like a video game for controlling windows. But Openbox can also be kept extremely simple, as it is in the default setup, meaning that it can suit just about anybody. Openbox gives you control without making you do everything.

Openbox makes desktop environments better. By running Openbox inside the GNOME or K desktop environments, you can combine their ease and functionality with the power of Openbox. Your desktop becomes cleaner and faster, and is in your control, when you use Openbox.

Openbox - лёгкий и быстрый оконный менеджер.

Список изменений в 3.4 большой, хочется выделить:

- Диалог переключения окно показывает не одно текущее окно, а все текущего рабочего стола или всех окон вообще.
- Много изменений для увеличения скорости работы (разработчики убеждают, что версия 3.4 работает быстрее всех ранних)
- Прозрачность окон, реализуемая средствами Composite
- Анимация минимизации/максимизации окон
- Добавлено общее меню окон для всех рабочих столов (в альтернативу выпадающих меню для каждого рабочего стола в отдельности)
- Добавлена возможность убрать заголовок меню
- Шрифт указывается больше не в файле темы, а в конфигурационном файле rc.xml
- Добавлена группа новых свойств тем.

• Updated translations: Slovak, Italian, Croatian, Ukrainian.
• Allow windows to change their decorations at any time (Fix for Google Chrome).
• Make openbox-session to respect the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.
• Fixed bug #4344 where borders were given to windows that should not have them.
• Merge the SessionLogout and Exit actions. They now test if connected to a session manager and ask it to exit if so, or simply kill Openbox if not.
• Further tweaks to the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message handling. Use the same logic for focus-stealing as is used when mapping a new window.
• Don't go out of our way any more to prevent focus from moving while the keyboard is grabbed.
• Fix openbox-gnome-session when using gnome-session > 2.22.
• When resizing a window while focus cycling with bar=no, the bar no longer reappears.
• Correctly handle shaped windows using the ShapeInput kind, this is used by many composited apps to pass through clicks in their transparent areas.
• Fix the per-app setting.
• Avoid using anonymous unions.
• Windows that had their decorations removed by per-app settings were still placed as if they still had their decorations.
• Fix event handling not to ignore events on a window when they have an unmap event in the queue, if that unmap event doesn't cause the window to be unmanaged.
• Show the desktop switch on every monitor in xinerama.
• Fix interpretation of struts in xinerama where the screens have different sizes.
• Add "next" and "prev" as possible targets in the moveto and resizeto actions.
• Allow escaping the _ used to mark the shortcut character in menu labels. You can now change the (first) _ in a label to __, this will be displayed as a single underscore. The rest of the _ in the string will be unaffected, so only double the first one.
• Only replace ~ with the home directory when it is preceded by whitespace or is at the start of the string, and when it is followed by a space, slash, or the end of the string.
• This is implemented with GRegex, and so the required glib version has been bumped to 2.14.
• Some other small fixes.
• Updated translations: Basque, Catalan, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Russian.
• New translations: Danish, Turkish, Lithuanian.
• Set the _MOTIF_WM_INFO atom so urxvt uses motif hints for borderless mode.
• Properly escape the xml used in session files.
• Correct a 64-bit issue related to comparing timestamps.
• There is a sneaky sentence right at the end of a big paragraph in the wm-spec document that says windows mapping with _NET_WM_USER_TIME=0 should not be focused initially, honor this request.
• When moving a window to another desktop with following on, bring the window's helper windows (for example gimp image windows with the toolbox set to utility window).
• Change the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages again, if they originate from the app and the window is on another desktop, just set the demands_attention flag. If the event came from the user (ie pager/panel), then the window is still moved to the current desktop.

This is a minor bugfix + new features release, mostly focused on Openbox menu behaviours. Here's the complete changelog:

• Improve keyboard navigation in Openbox menus.
• Add a --root option and a manpage for obxprop.
• Use a negative value for submenuShowDelay and submenuHideDelay to cause an infinite delay. This means you have to click to show a submenu, rather than just hover over it.
• Improved code for submenu show/hide delay. Added the submenuHideDelay config file option, under the "menu" section.
• Fixed bug #4464 (Typo in openbox-gnome-session script).
• Fixed bug #4436 (Focusing a window used to stop focus cycling).
• Renamed obprop to obxprop due to collision with Open Babel (See bug #4419).
