1.0 - Jun 3, 2000: 1. Initial version. Added tiling to 9wm.
1.1 - Jun 5, 2000: 1. Added support for max size hints.
2. Also, Things with width_inc and height_inc
should look better now.
1.2 - Jun 5, 2000: 1. Incorporated ideas/code from Benjamin Drieu's
w9wm project, so now it has virtual desktops,
currently hardcoded at four.
1.3 - Jun 6, 2000: 1. Fixed a bug with PMaxSize windows that set hints
after the window has been mapped.
2. Fixed some other small bugs.
1.4 - Jun 6, 2000: 1. Added support for Prev. Desktop.
2. When toggling Auto ReTile, it toggles for the
current desktop only! Now you can have some
desktops auto tile, and some behave more
traditional.
3. Added support for Button4 and Button5.
Button4 switches to previous desktop, Button5
to next. If you have a wheel mouse, put:
ZAxisMapping 4 5 in your XF86Config to use
wheel up and down to switch desktops.
4. Added the -rv option. Reverses black/white in
all window manager menus/windows.
1.4.1 - Jun 7, 2000: 1. Fixed the way transient windows are raised,
now nested transients work properly.
2. renamed setstate() to wmsetstate() to avoid
clashing with the function of the same name
in stdlib.h.
3. Fixed a bug in how transient windows are hidden
and restored when moving between desktops.
1.5 - Jun 8, 2000: 1. Added support for 'tools', applications you
always want visible on the screen and not
included in the retiling process.
See -toolspace and -toolclass command line
options.
2. Fixed some minor cosmetic bugs. Using all
screen space optimally.
2.0 - Jun 9, 2000: 1. Added support for multi-screen displays.
You can change desktop, default number of
windows in left track, auto tiling on/off
individually for each screen.
You can also pick which screen you want
toolspace reserved on.
2.1 - Jun 15, 2000: 1. Added support for focusing a window without
retiling everything, even if auto tiling
is on for that screen/desktop.
Just Ctrl-LeftClick on an inactive window.
2. Added an option to always act as if window
selects were done with Control held down.
3. Added an option to balance tracks. This
makes sure that both tracks have the same width
and number of windows in them. Works nice
with SkipFocus for an Oberon effect.
2.2 - Jun 27, 2000: 1. Added the -nouserhints option. Now by default,
if the user specifies the position of a window,
it will not be included in the tiling process.
This can be used instead of -toolclass as a
way of not having to specify every kind of
window you don't want tiled, or if you want
some but not all windows of a class tiled.
2. If the argument to -toolspace is a negative
number, space is reserved at the top of the
screen instead of the bottom.
3. Added the -widetools option. This makes the
reserved toolspace stretch across the screen,
not just across the right track.
3.0 - Jun 28, 2000: 1. Big cleanup. Removed -toolspace, -toolclass
-toolscreen and -widetools options.
Now tools are looked for at each retiling
event, and anything that has had its
position specified by the user is considered
a tool.
Where to set aside toolspace (top or bottom,
right track only or full width) is calculated.
When a tool pops up, it might end up on top
of a tiled window, it will be properly tiled
when the next retiling event occurs.
3.1 - Jun 30, 2000: 1. Rearranged all menus. :)
Here's how the menus work, they can be popped
up anywhere on the root window, or over an
inactive window.
Mouse Button Function/Menu
------------------------------------------------
Right Make clicked window active.
Control+Right Active, without retiling.
Middle Next Desktop.
Shift+Middle List all Desktops.
Control+Middle Previous Desktop.
Left Main menu, same as 9wm.
Shift+Left Hidden Windows.
Control+Left larswm functions.
Shift+Control Left or Right shows version info.
------------------------------------------------
2. Cleaned up the usage of pointers to active
window on each desktop. This should eliminate
one obscure crashing bug.
3. When the current window goes away on a screen,
it will not revert to a window on a different
screen. If any focus change happens, it will
be to the screen that was just manipulated.
3.1.1 - Jul 3, 2000: 1. Minor tweak to how it remembers which window
has focus on a particular destkop. Now tools
will not be remembered. Makes for a little
more consistent behaviour.
3.2 - Jul 3, 2000: 1. Another bigger cleanup. The Toggle Balance Tracks
option has been replaced with a generic layout
menu. Control+Shift+Right mouse button brings
it up. Right now the options are:
Normal, 2/3 focused, 1/3 rest.
Square, focused window is as wide as the screen
is tall.
Balanced, like the old balanced tracks, same width
and number of windows in each track. The separate
Left Track Num Windows option has been removed.
2. Changed the default fonts. Now it will try
"variable" and if that fails, "fixed".
3. You can toggle whether larswm sees a client
as a tool or not by Shift+Left clicking on it.
4.0b1 - Jul 4, 2000: 1. Added keyboard support. Please see summary below.
This is released as a beta version, as I'm still
not sure if I got all those XKeyGrabs right...
4.0b2 - Jul 4, 2000: 1. Uhh, I was sleepy when I put b1 out. Some pointers
were omitted from some calls to initkeys, somehow
this did not coredump on linux/sparc64...
4.0b3 - Jul 4, 2000: 1. Added keyboard shortcuts for moving between
screens. Control-PageUp and Control-PageDown goes back
and forth between your screens (physical monitors).
4.0b4 - Jul 4, 2000: 1. All Control+something shortcuts have been changed
to Shift+Control+something, to lessen the risk
of overlapping with applications.
4.0b5 - Jul 4, 2000: 1. Added -bg and -fg options to set larswm menu and
border colors. At this time there are no plans for
more elaborate "theming" capabilities. :)
Removed -rv, as it is obsolete now.
2. Now Shift+Control is used as the modifier for all
larswm functions. Consistency is a virtue.
Alt-Tab is still provided since that seems to be
a de facto standard.
3. Cleaned up the names of the command line options.
See below for the complete list.
4.0b6 - Jul 4, 2000: 1. Fixed the bug where it wouldn't retile around tools
as they pop up.
2. Events on a different screen from the one containing
the focused window will retile that screen.
3. A window will not automatically get focus on a
screen that does not have the mouse pointer in it
unless that same screen also contains the currently
focused window.
One more step towards always knowing where your
keystrokes are going... :)
4. Default terminal program is xterm, even if 9term
is installed. Use the -term option to set your
preferred terminal.
4.0 - Jul 5, 2000: 1. Updated docs. Everything else seems stable.
Changed version number to 4.0.
4.1b1 - Jul 7, 2000: 1. Added -display option.
2. Cleaned up code. No more K&R C function definitions.
3. Added restart/exit menu. Shift+Control+Right mouse.
4. Added .larswmrc support! You can use the -defaults
option to have it print out a properly formatted
config file that you can edit to your taste.
cd $HOME
larswm -defaults > .larswmrc
Documentation on this will be updated when features
have been finalized.
4.1b2 - Jul 7, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.badclass keyword to rc format.
Use this to force a window of the specified class
to be tiled even if it insists that the user
specified the position. This will help with
applications like kvirc and LyX.
4.1b3 - Jul 7, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.desktops keyword to rc format.
This will let you set how many virtual desktops
you want per physical screen.
You can chose between 1 and 32, default is 4.
4.1b4 - Jul 7, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.application_# keyword to rc format.
This lets you add commands to be executed from the
application menu, Shift+Control+Left mouse.
Enter them like this, the number on the end decides
which order they will be in, the lines can appear
in any order in the rc file and there can be gaps
in the number sequence.
larswm.application_0: netscape
larswm.application_1: xcalc
2. Fixed a design flaw in how badclass is loaded from rc.
Same numbering rules applies as for application
resource lines.
You need to enter them like this:
larswm.badclass_0: BadApp1
larswm.badclass_1: BadApp2
3. Changed max number of applications, badclasses and
virtual desktops to 64. At least for desktops, think
of 64 as the theoretical max. I can't imagine actually
having 64 desktops and trying to find your windows. :)
4.1b5 - Jul 7, 2000: 1. Fixed a bunch of typos in prefs.c. Now keyboard mapping
will really work for all functions.
This should be the last beta in the 4.1 series.
*cross fingers*.
2. If you typo the key symbol in the rc file, it will
reset all defaults, so if you seem to not get your
preferences, check the key entries.
4.2 - Jul 8, 2000: 1. Added a simple man page. It's mostly there for
command line options, and to point to where the
real documentation can be found.
2. Changed version from beta 4.1 to stable 4.2.
4.3b1 - Jul 9, 2000: 1. Fixed a bug with -display, where it wouldn't
open new windows on the correct display.
2. Changed number of desktops to 32 to save memory
and startup time. Now supports max 8 physical
screens. Both of these numbers can be changed
in dat.h if needed.
3. Added configurability per screen/desktop for
the following resources:
larswm.auto_retile
larswm.skip_focus
larswm.layout
The format for these resources should now be
larswm.resource[x][y]: value
where x is screen number and y is desktop number.
0 means first screen/desktop.
if you omit one number, it means all of the
screens/desktops. Example:
larswm.auto_retile[][3]: false
means do not auto retile on virtual desktop 3
on all physical screens.
4. Changed the format of application, badclass and
goto_desktop keyboard shortcut resources
to be more consistent with the other indexed
formats.
4.3b2 - Jul 9, 2000: 1. Changed the order in which indexed prefs are
looked for, making it possible to specify for
instance:
larswm.auto_retile[][]: false
larswm.auto_retile[0][]: true
which would only auto retile on the first
physical screen.
4.3b3 - Jul 9, 2000: 1. Added the resource larswm.left_track_width[][]
which sets how wide the left track should be when
the default layout is active in the specified
screen/desktop. The unit is percent of screen
width, the valid choices are 5-95 and the
default is 66.
2. Added resource larswm.left_track_numwindows[][]
which sets the number of windows to tile in the
left track when using the Default layout on
the specified screen/desktop. At least 1, and
default is 1.
3. Indexed resources can be specified in these ways:
res = v - All screens and all desktops.
res[][] = v - Same as above.
res[d] = v - All screens and desktop #d.
res[][d] = v - Same as above.
res[s][] = v - Screen #s and all desktops.
res[s][d] = v - Screen #s and desktop #d.
More specific indexing overrides more generic.
This is true for all resources that has [][] after
the name in the -defaults printout.
4.4 - Jul 10, 2000: 1. Split change log into its own file.
2. Upped version to 4.4 and announced it as stable.
4.4.1 - Jul 10, 2000: 1. Allow down to zero width borders.
2. Add larswm.toolclass[#] option. Up to 64 classes
of windows that will not be tiled even if USPosition
is not set.
3. Cleaned up layout menu.
4.4.2 - Jul 11, 2000: 1. Now correctly handles windows that set the input
member of the WM_HINTS property to False. These
windows will not get focus, either automatically
or by clicking on them.
4.4.3 - Jul 12, 2000: 1. Simplifed the way window borders are drawn. Now
they consist of only one color at a time, and
borders can really be 0 width.
2. Cleaned out some old 9term stuff, since hold mode
isn't shown with the new borders anyway.
3. larswm.inset was removed because of 1 and 2.
4. Added larswm.tile_pad, which will set how many
pixels there should be between the windows when
they are auto tiled. Default is 2.
5. Changed the default for larswm.blitcursors and
larswm.grey to False.
4.4.4 - Jul 12, 2000: 1. Augh! A bug crept in while I wasn't watching.
Crashing when xev and possibly other apps open
is now fixed.
2. System specific include files have been replaced
with Xos.h as much as possible.
4.9b1 - Jul 13, 2000: 1. Major tweaking! Now can show window title bars at
the top of the windows. No fancy decorations or
buttons, just a label to help keep track of all
those xterms. :) Default is off, turn on with:
larswm.titles: True
in the .larswmrc file.
When clicking a mouse button in the title bar, it
means does the same thing as if you clicked on an
inactive window. In other words, no special things
like dragging a window by the title bar. I'm tempted
to say that if you really need that, this might not
be the best window manager for you. :)
2. As a side effect of adding title bars, I've had to
really dig into the code (grab.c still scares me)
and make small modifications here and there.
Hopefully I didn't break it too bad, but I think
it might be a good idea if this stays beta for at
least a week or so. :)
4.9b2 - Jul 13, 2000: 1. Moved title bar to bottom edge of windows.
This might seem weird, but I kinda like it.
Remember, title bars are optional. They will
not appear unless you specifically add this line
to your .larswmrc:
larswm.titles: True
4.9b3 - Jul 13, 2000: 1. Added the following configurable keyboard shortcuts.
Shift+Control+comma: shrink left track.
Shift+Control+period: expand left track.
Shift+Control+Home: maximize left track.
Shift+Control+End: restore left track.
Use larswm -defaults to see resource names.
4.9b4 - Jul 15, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.tile_resize[][] option, with a
default of True. If this is false, windows are not
actually resized when put in the right track,
but instead just stacked on top of eachother, with
a portion at the top of each window visible.
Use this on screens where you run netscape for
instance, to speed up refocusing (netscape won't
have to recalculate layout since it's not resized).
2. Added a small status display to the title bar of
the focused window. The display looks like this:
+0+ -1- [2] -3- (2) {14}
This means:
Desktop 0 has open windows.
Desktop 1 does not have open windows.
Desktop 2 is currently visible.
Desktop 3 does not have open windows.
There are 2 hidden windows on this screen.
There are 14 windows on other screens.
If there are no windows on other screens, or no
hidden windows, the () and {} will not be displayed.
I could have made icons for this, but... looking
fancy is not really the goal here. :)
3. Small improvement in how it handles tool windows,
they will now always stay on top of other windows,
except the focused window. Useful when using the
tile_resize: False option.
4. Transient windows will open on any desktop, but as
soon as you switch desktop, it will only be visible
on the same desktop as its parent window.
This way you shouldn't miss any important messages,
while at the same time not have to find stray dialog
boxes hanging around the wrong desktop.
4.9b5 - Jul 15, 2000: 1. Fixed a small bug where toolspace would not be
calculated when in tile_resize: False mode.
4.9b6 - Jul 15, 2000: 1. Fixed a subtle bug with override_redirect windows
who grab keyboard focus (for example, the netscape
menubar) and end up underneath the main window.
This was fixed by changing how the retiling event
is generated. No retiling will be done as a result
of any focus event, but as a result of the mouse
click instead.
2. Changed the 'toggle toolstatus' from Shift+Left
mouse to making it a menu choice in the tiling menu.
If you select 'Toggle Tool Window', the cursor
changes into the crosshairs. Just right click on
the window you want to toggle between being
considered a tool window or not.
3. Removed some redundant initkeys() calls.
4. Fixed a bug in how number of hidden windows were
counted. Now also counts hidden tools.
4.9b7 - Jul 16, 2000: 1. Do not waste screen space for the nonexistent
titlebar when tiling shaped windows.
2. Tool windows will not have title bars.
3. Changed a couple of default limits.
Now supports 4 physical screens of 16 virtual
desktops each. Edit dat.h if you need more.
4.9b8 - Jul 16, 2000: 1. Cleaned up XSetInputFocus calls. timestamp()
was removed.
2. Cleaned up a couple of menus. No more menu titles.
Will not popup hidden windows menu unless there are
hidden windows. Same for Applications.
3. Fixed a rare bug in title bar drawing that would
show up sometimes when the window would be mapped
before the WM_NAME was set.
4. Adjusted some defaults. 32 apps, 32 hidden windows.
32 badclass and toolclass entries. Edit dat.h if
you need more.
4.9b9 - Jul 17, 2000: 1. Swapped Maximize and Restore left track keys.
Default is now: Shift+Control+End = maximize and
Shift+Control+Home = restore default.
I find this more intuitive.
2. Removed larswm.grey and larswm.blitcursors options.
Use xsetroot or something like that to set screen
background. Uses only blit lookalike cursors.
3. Removed some redundant code dealing with focus.
Added simplified and more predictable way to revert
to previously active window when auto tiling is off.
4. Now properly raises windows when using the
keyboard shortcuts to move to next and previous
windows if not in auto retile mode.
5. When on a desktop without auto retiling, clicking
a window will focus and raise. Control+clicking
will focus without raising it. This behaviour
is reversed if the desktop also has skip_focus set.
5.0 - Jul 17, 2000: 1. Version changed to stable 5.0.
5.0.1 - Jul 18, 2000: 1. Using only X11 built-in mouse pointers.
The cursor.c file was removed from the distribution.
2. Fixed a small bug where if you had auto retiling off
an app that starts iconified still wanted to be
placed on the desktop.
3. Removed the 'exit' and 'restart' command line
options. Exit using the exit/restart menu which
is on Shift+Control+Right mouse button.
4. Simplified how it determines what is the next
and previous window, and how it reverts to the
previous window in the stacking order when the
active window closes. No more having to hit
Shift+Control+Up or Down twice after jumping to
a different screen sometimes.
5. Code cleanup. Removed little snippets here and
there that wasn't being used.
5.0.2 - Jul 18, 2000: 1. By popular demand, command line exit and restart
are back. :)
2. Some more tweaks to focus handling when warping
between screens. Still not perfect.
3. Added the larswm.run_dialog option. This can be
used to specify an application to use as program
launcher.
4. Added the larswm.run_dialog_key and run_dialog_mod
options to set the keyboard shortcut for the
run dialog.
5. Fixed a bug with Goto desktop #X shortcuts.
5.1b1 - Jul 19, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.notileclass[#] option. You can
add up to 32 window classes that will not be tiled
but instead kept in their own group on each desktop.
2. Added the larswm.raise_notile_key and mod options
to set the keyboard shortcut you want to use to
raise all untiled windows on the current desktop.
If there is a current window, and it is an untiled
window, then this function will lower all untiled
windows. The default key is Shift+Control+BackSpace.
3. When using previous and next window shortcuts,
only move to another window of the same type as
far as notileclass goes.
4. The effect is like a separate desktop within
every desktop that is for untiled windows only.
Each screen/desktop remembers if tiled or untiled
windows were last used.
5.1b2 - Jul 19, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.application_key[number] and
larswm.application_mod[number] options. Use this to
create keyboard shortcuts to the corresponding
larswm.application[number] entries. Make sure you
use the same number for both the app and the key.
2. Removed the larswm.run_dialog options, as they
are now redundant.
3. Changed the way the larswm.badclass, toolclass
and notileclass options work. If the value contains
a tilde (~) then in addition to checking if the
class equals the value, it also checks for if
the class equals what's before the tilde and the
instance equals what's after the tilde.
An example, to associate all of netscape's download
windows with the untiled subdesktop, do this:
larswm.notileclass[0]: Netscape~Download
5.1b3 - Jul 19, 2000: 1. Changed the way it deals with XConfigureRequest
events. They do not trigger a retile event by
themselves anymore. If one of your windows seem
to get itself out of place, try using the
'Re-Tile All Now' menu entry on the right mouse
button. The reason for this change is that some
apps (Netscape is one) seem to be trying to
resize itself until it succeeds, basically locking
the window manager up with configurereqs.
If Netscape opens a new browser window with a set
size and position, it doesn't deal well with being
unmapped either. I suggest not moving to a new
desktop until you've closed all netscape secondary
windows.
Also, having a larswm.badclass entry for Netscape
helps, as Netscape lies about the user selecting
the size and position of the window, making it
look like a tool window to larswm.
After trying various ways of dealing with this,
I can only conclude that Netscape is not being
a polite client, in that it doesn't let the window
manager decide where and when to map its windows.
5.1b4 - Jul 20, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.default_notile and
larswm.dotileclass[] options. If default_notile
is true, then all new windows are placed in the
untiled desktop, unless their class/instance
has been specified with a dotileclass line.
This can be good if you use alot of non tiling
friendly apps.
5.1b5 - Jul 20, 2000: 1. If you hold down Shift while left-clicking a window
that does not have focus, it will get focus even if
its hints suggested it does not want focus. This
is useful if you use Xnest.
5.1b6 - Jul 20, 2000: 1. Removed the automatic determination of tool status.
Nothing will be treated as a tool window unless its
class/instance has been specified with a
larswm.toolclass[] entry. This will in the end make
for more predictable behaviour with bad apps that
lie about USPosition.
2. Removed the larswm.tile_tools option.
3. Removed the larswm.badclass[] option.
4. Changed default_notile to True, as I believe this
to be a better way to do things. For the old
behaviour of tiling every window by default, put
larswm.default_notile: False
in your .larswm.
5. When a window is opened on the untiled desktop,
whether you need to manually place it or not is
decided like this:
If auto_retile is ON for the current desktop:
* If the window has had its position set
by the user, map it there.
* If no position has been set, center it.
If auto_retile is OFF
* If the window has had its position set
by the user, map it there.
* If no position has been set, let the
user place an outline of the window
where (s)he wants it to be mapped.
6. Put max number of toolclasses, notileclasses and
hidden windows back to 64 by default.
7. Minor tweak to how it unhides windows. Will not
look for a hidden window that was unmapped by the
virtual desktop functionality. Improves performance
with apps that sends maprequests until their window
is mapped.
5.1b7 - Jul 21, 2000: 1. Greatly simplified tool handling. Now all tools
are automatically assigned to the untiled
subdesktop. No need to arrange tiled windows
around tools.
Tool windows are exactly like any other untiled
window, except they have no title bar, they are
visible on all virtual desktops and they are always
kept on top of the other windows on the untiled
subdesktop, except the window that has focus.
5.1b8 - Jul 21, 2000: 1. Changed the display on the title bar to:
{#} (#) [#] # T
Which lists the number of windows on:
{other screens} (hidden) [other desktops]
current desktop number and whether you are on the
(T)iled or (U)ntiled subdesktop.
2. Added keyboard shortcuts for moving windows on the
untiled desktop.
Shift+Control + number on keypad puts it in a
general area of the screen, 7 = northwest,
8 = north center etc.
Shift+Alt + number on keypad moves it 5% of the
screen size in that direction.
8 = up, 2 = down, 4 = left and 6 = right.
Sun users: This won't work with the standard
keyboard mapping. Please see the README file
for an example of how to use xmodmap to fix it.
5.1b9 - Jul 21, 2000: 1. Added keyboard shortcuts for zooming windows.
By default these:
Shift+Alt+keypad Home = Vertical.
Shift+Alt+keypad End = Horizontal.
Shift+Alt+keypad 5 = Both. (Maximize)
These keys are of course configurable like
the others.
5.1b10 - Jul 22, 2000:1. Lots of small tweaks to how it handles the tiled
and untiled subdesktops, how it reverts back to
a window when one closes. No new options, just
more logical behaviour.
2. Added the Re-Scan Windows option on the tiling
menu. Use this if you get windows that somehow
aren't managed by larswm. Some versions of
The Gimp will cause this when resizing images.
5.1b11 - Jul 22, 2000:1. Even more fine tuning of the way it handles
untiled windows when they are mapped.
5.1b12 - Jul 23, 2000:1. Fixes a small focus problem with multi-head
displays. Move Re-Scan Windows menu entry to
the larswm menu (exit/restart).
2. Changed title bar status display to show just
virtual desktop number and subdesktop (T or U).
3. Fixed minor window focus reverting problem.
5.1b13 - Jul 23, 2000:1. Final focus handling code. When a window closes,
reverts back to the last focused window regardless
of which subdesktop it was on. If not on same,
toggles subdesktops before reverting focus.
5.2 - Jul 24, 2000: 1. Updated README, docs, and bumped version number.
5.2.1 - Jul 24, 2000: 1. Fixed a crashing bug in the window reverting code.
2. Cleaned up code that checks class/instances.
5.2.2 - Jul 25, 2000: 1. Fixed a bug where looking up a window class would
fail if there was no instance specified.
5.3b1 - Jul 25, 2000: 1. Split keyboard handling into its own file, keys.c.
2. Added the option larswm.bar, which will enable the
status bar at the bottom of the screen.
The left portion of the bar contains the title of
the focused window. The right end contains this:
[0:4] 1:- 2:1 3:- Untiled (1) {4}
Which means:
Desktop 0 is active, it has 4 windows.
Desktop 1 has no windows, 2 has one window,
and 3 has none. The Untiled subdesktop is active
on the current virtual desktop, and there are one
hidden window on this screen, and 4 windows on
other screens.
3. Added option larswm.reserve, which will make window
tiling leave the specified number of pixels unused
at the bottom of the screen. If the status bar is
visible, this reserves pixels above the bar.
4. Added option larswm.res_track, which lets you specify
which track you want space reserved in, the default
is Right and it can be set to Left or Both.
5.3b2 - Jul 25, 2000: 1. Removed a redundant call to draw_tbar().
5.3b3 - Jul 25, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.auto_reserve option.
This is similar to how it used to work, except it
reserves space at the bottom of the screen only.
This feature is on by default.
2. Mouse clicks on the status bar:
Left previous desktop, Right next desktop,
Middle toggle tiled/untiled desktop.
3. Made status bar be on by default. To disable, use:
larswm.bar: False
4. Tweaked status bar to be as thin as possible.
5. Windows that have south (or southwest/southeast)
gravity will gravitate above the status bar.
5.4 - Jul 25, 2000: 1. Version changed to 5.4 stable.
5.4.1 - Aug 2, 2000: 1. When centering windows on the untiled desktop,
the top of the window will never be above the top
of the screen.
2. Fix a small typo on prefs.c
3. Added option larswm.stickyclass[] which makes
windows of the specified class sticky, that is they
are visible on all virtual desktops.
4. Added option larswm.sticky_notile which makes
all windows on the untiled subdesktop sticky by
default.
5.5b1 - Aug 4, 2000: 1. Added the Zoomed layout option. This arranges the
tiled subdesktop so the active window is taking up
most of the screen, on top of the others, while
the rest are tiled underneath in the same way that
the Balanced layout works.
5.5b2 - Aug 4, 2000: 1. Removed Zoomed layout option. Not really useful in
practice, and features for no other reason than
feature count will not be tolerated. :)
2. Following the same logic, window title bars are
gone, since their functionality is better handled
by the status bar. Removed larswm.titles option.
3. Changed the status display on the bar slightly.
The letters between the <> means:
T = tiled active, U = untiled active
A = auto tiling on, R = tile resizing on,
S = skip focus on.
Layouts: d = Default, s = Square, b = Balanced.
Also put the window title at the left end of the bar.
5.5b3 - Aug 5, 2000: 1. Added option larswm.lazy_notile, which will make
the untiled subdesktop use a lazy focus follows
mouse scheme. This can also be toggled from the
Control menu (Control+Right mouse click).
Also added the letter 'L' to the status bar
display between <>. This indicates whether
lazy_notile is on for the current virtual desktop.
2. Added the Control+Alt+Left mouse click, which will
just raise the selected window without changing
focus to it. It can be used on the active window
if in lazy_notile mode as a way to bring a window
to the front, since a window is not raised
automatically when the mouse enters it and gives
it focus. This all applies to the untiled
subdesktop only.
3. Added two new keyboard shortcuts:
Control+Alt+z hides the current window.
Control+Alt+w closes the current window.
4. Made all parts of the status bar visible at all
times. A '-' in a position signifies "off" or "0".
5.5b4 - Aug 5, 2000: 1. Fixed a crashing bug in the lazy focus code.
2. Control+Alt+x unhides the last hidden window.
5.5b5 - Aug 6, 2000: 1. A few tweaks to focus and subdesktop handling when
mapping windows. It should now act in a more useful
way when non-input windows like ghostscript opens.
5.5b6 was thrown out.
5.5b7 - Aug 7, 2000: 1. Fix for shortcut keys for desktops and applications
when they would use the same key but different
modifiers.
2. Added a note in the README about mode lock keys and
how they must be off when using larswm shortcuts.
This is a known issue that hopefully will be fixed
some day.
5.6 - Aug 7, 2000: 1. Made the Shift-Alt-Button1 be a toggle instead of
always raising the window. It will now raise a window
unless the window is already on top, in which case
it will lower it instead.
2. Changed version to stable 5.6.
5.6.1 - Aug 10, 2000: 1. Do not automatically revert focus to tool windows.
5.6.2 - Aug 12, 2000: 1. Fixed a bug where it would retile when using keyboard
shortcuts to select next and previous window even if
skip_focus was on.
5.6.3 - Aug 21, 2000: 1. Simplified window mapping. Now does not require user
interaction with the mouse before mapping a window.
A window that has not had its position set will be
centered on the screen.
2. Fixed a minor bug where windows would not retile
when unhiding a tiled window using the keyboard
shortcut.
5.6.4 - Aug 27, 2000: 1. Changed the status bar a bit. gprof showed alot of
time spent in sprintf, so all those calls were
removed, and the display simplified. It now looks
like this in the lower right corner:
----------------------------+
Desktop Name <UARSLdH> |
----------------------------+
Where the new item is 'H', which is there if there
are hidden windows on this screen.
2. Desktops can be named! By default they are labeled
Zero, One, Two etc. but this can be changed with the
larswm.dtname[][] option. Same rules apply as for
the other [][] indexed resources, that is first
index is screen, second is desktop.
5.6.5 - Aug 28, 2000: 1. Now sets input focus on a screen when the mouse
pointer enters a window on it, if that screen does
not already contain the window with input focus.
5.6.6 - Aug 29, 2000: 1. Simplified the way it fetches the next event.
This seems to make it a bit more stable when dealing
with lots of events, like holding down the 'next
desktop' key for example. Removed the getevent()
function from main.c and use XNextEvent directly
in event.c.
2. Moved a call to initkeys() so it is only called
once when a window is first managed.
5.6.7 - Aug 30, 2000: 1. Removed the larswm.auto_retile[][] option, since
it is obsoleted by the untiled subdesktop.
2. Removed all code dealing with auto_retile being
on or off. Now assumed on for all desktops.
3. Changed the way windows are hidden when switching
virtual desktops. Now they are not actually
unmapped, but instead moved outside the visible
screen area.
4. Made lazy focus on the untiled subdesktop be on
by default.
5. Only update the status bars when needed. This
also improves performance when dealing with
lots of events.
6. Mode flag display now shows:
<RSLdH>
Resize on/off, SkipFocus on/off, LazyNotile on/off,
current layout and Hidden Windows menu has entries.
5.6.8 - Aug 30, 2000: 1. Fixed small bug where the status bar would not
redraw when the title of the current window changes.
5.6.9 - Sep 1, 2000: 1. Fixed a small bug where the status bar would not
be redrawn when it became unobscured.
2. Removed the layout option. Now always uses what
used to be called 'Default'. Removed code supporting
more than one window in the active track.
3. Control-Alt-Button2 now toggles between tiled and
untiled subdesktops.
4. Removed the code for specifying tool space. Now
always calculates before retiling.
reserve, res_track and auto_reserve options gone.
5.7b1 - Sep 2, 2000: 1. Added the larswm.dtclass[] and larswm.dtnum[]
options that let you associate a window
class/instance with a virtual desktop number.
For example:
larswm.dtclass[0]: Netscape
larswm.dtnum[0]: 1
would associate Netscape windows with the second
virtual desktop.
2. When a window is first mapped, if it wants to be
on a different desktop than the current, that
desktop is first made active before mapping the
window.
3. Fixed a small annoyance with Control-Alt-Button1
where if you lowered a window, you couldn't raise
it this way even if a portion was visible.
4. Added the larswm.bar_cmd and larswm.bar_interval
options. This will run a command every X seconds
showing the first line of output in the status
bar. Up to 80 characters will be shown, if you
need more, use another process that puts a line,
properly scrolled, in a file and cat that file to
get the data for the display. They key is to
minimize the time that the command larswm runs
takes, or the system will feel slow.
The external command is responsible for removing
any non printable characters, including newline.
5. Yet more improvements to how it handles focus
when windows are mapped on the untiled subdesktop
when lazy_notile is on. Now it should hopefully
"do the right thing" both with transients and
secondary non-transients (like 'xv' does).
6. The external command is only run if there are
two or fewer events waiting to be processed. This
should prevent the wm from being unecessarily
slow when dealing with lots of events.
5.7b2 - Sep 3, 2000: 1. Do not change the title bar colors for tiled and
untiled subdesktop, instead show 'T' or 'U' and
leave it inverted all the time. This makes for a
cleaner look I think.
2. Got rid of focus shifting between screens. Was
more confusing than useful. Now you have to
either use keyboard shortcuts, or select a window
on the screen you want to go to.
Optional lazy focus follows mouse on untiled
subdesktop is unchanged.
5.7b3 - Sep 3, 2000: 1. Changed larswm.bar_cmd to larswm.bar_file. Now
reads the first line of a file instead of
executing a command. This has two benefits:
1. Hanging command would also hang the wm.
2. This requires no fork/exec in larswm.
Included in the tarball and RPM is an example of
how to do this in the file sample.barinfo.
5.7b4 - Sep 3, 2000: 1. Removed larswm.bar_file and larswm.bar_interval
options.
2. Added support for a FIFO in $HOME/.larswmfifo
that is checked once per second for data.
Each time up to 80 characters are read, if there
are more available in the FIFO, they will be read
next time (in one second).
No option needs to be specified in .larswmrc as
this feature will be automatically used if the
FIFO exists.
sample.barinfo updated to use the FIFO.
3. Added the -p command line option to specify
a different named pipe to use for the status
bar FIFO.
5.7b5 - Sep 3, 2000: 1. Minor fix. Now removes leading and trailing
spaces and unprintable characters from the
status bar message field.
5.7b6 - Sep 3, 2000: 1. Fixes an obscure bug that could make it lock
up when unmapping a window.
5.7b7 - Sep 4, 2000: 1. Code cleanup in the way preferences are looked
for. You need to change your indexed resources
like this:
BEFORE: larswm.tile_resize[1][2]: False
AFTER: larswm.1.2.tile_resize: False
BEFORE: larswm.toolclass[3]: XClock
AFTER: larswm.toolclass.3: XClock
This requires alot less code to achieve the
same result as before, that is, more specific
overrides less specific. If you had for instace
larswm.tile_resize[][5]: True
you should change it to
larswm.*.5.tile_resize: True
This is basically just using the X resource
manager correctly, and I prefer correctness
over backwards compatibility. :)
2. I've run ElectricFence on it, and no memory
overruns/underruns have been detected so far
after fixing one strcpy call in the resource
loading code.
3. Minor performance tweak in mouse_on_screen,
now spends very little time there on single
screen systems.
5.7b8 - Sep 4, 2000: 1. Added a call to setlocale() so non-standard
characters should be visible on the status
bar.
2. Updated sample.barinfo to show how to get
stock quotes from Yahoo and display them
on the status bar.
5.7b9 - Sep 4, 2000: 1. Removed the rechecking of hints everytime a
window was tiled. Now only checks on
PropertyNotify events.
5.7b10 - Sep 4, 2000: 1. Added sample.xsession showing one way to use
a background program feeding the named pipe
without leaving it running after logging out.
5.8 - Sep 5, 2000: 1. Changed version to 5.8 and updated docs here
and there.
2. Changed the status bar maximum message length
to 132 characters.
5.9b - Sep 6, 2000: 1. Started to use CVS. Will now release betas
by doing a cvs export whenever I think there
is enough new stuff for you to test.
The version as reported by larswm -v will just
say 5.9b until 6.0 is released, but the source
tarball will have date and time in the name.
2. Cleaned up menus. Now there is only two,
the main menu on Button3, and the list
of hidden windows on Button2.
3. Tweaked the way skip_focus works together
with Control+Button1 clicks.
If skip_focus is off:
Button1=Focus+Retile
Control+Button1=Focus
If skip_focus is on:
if tile_resize is on:
Button1=Focus
Control+Button1=Focus+Retile
if tile_resize is off:
Button1=Focus+Retile
Control+Button1=Focus
This should mostly "do the right thing".
4. Raise/Lower is now Alt+Button1.
5. Added show_class on/off to main menu. If on,
it will show (class~instance) of the focused
window on the status bar.
6. Some more simplification in the prefs loading
code. No change in file format though.
7. Lots of tweaking of the focus code.
Improvement in previous/next window shortcuts.
Now can move focus around without rearranging
windows on a skip_focus desktop.
Also, you should always find a virtual desktop
exactly the way you left it when you go back
to it after using another desktop.
8. Cleaned up sample.barinfo a bit. Added some
more options. See comments in the script for
info on how to set it up.
9. General code cleanup, little details here
and there.
BETA_5_9_3
10. Fixed a small bug where shift-control-up would
not work right after switching desktop.
BETA_5_9_4
11. Put the status bar coloring back the way it was
so that default is black on white text with
black border.
12. When opening a new centered window, and when
using keyboard shortcuts to move a window to
the north, center or south, make sure that not
only the top of the window but also the left
edge is always visible.
13. New option larswm.*.*.clickthru. When this
is True, clicks used to focus a window are
also passed on to the client in some cases.
If clickthru is on, the click will be passed
in these circumstances:
Tiled subdesktop:
when skip_focus is on.
and no modifier was used.
Untiled subdesktop:
when lazy_notile is off.
Clicks will NOT be passed through if the click
forced a change between the tiled/untiled
subdesktop, or if either force-focus (Shift) or
toggle-retile-after-focus (Control) was used.
Button2 and Button3, which normally open menus,
will be passed through, but only on the untiled
subdesktop, otherwise, you'd have to hunt for
those little slivers of root window that shows
between tiled windows to use the menus.
14. Once again the mode flag field has been updated
to show the new mode, it is now:
<TCRSLAH>
Tiled subdesktop
clickthru
tile_resize
skip_focus
lazy_notile
autoraise_notile
Hidden Windows
Letter means on, '-' means off.
BETA_5_9_5
15. Hidden window list moved from Button2 to
Shift-Control-Button3.
This means if you have clickthru on, you can
use Button2 to paste without first selecting
the window. Like for Button1, if the window
you click on is on a different subdesktop then
the currently active, the click will not be
forwarded.
BETA_5_9_6
BETA_5_9_7
16. Made skip_focus be on by default.
If tile_resize is false, windows will move
around anyway, unless Control-Button1 is used
to select them.
After much testing I have found this to be the
most efficient setting for me. To get the old
retiling on focus change by default, just put
larswm.*.*.skip_focus: False in the config.
17. Fixed a bug where if you used the keyboard
to move to previous or next window on a
skip_focus:on with tile_resize:off desktop,
the windows would not rearrange themselves.
18. Got rid of stderr message when the named pipe
cannot be found. If it is not there, assume
the user doesn't want this feature enabled.
BETA_5_9_8
19. Better reverting to previously focused window.
Now does the right thing when for instance
running ghostscript from a tiled terminal, that
is, focus stays with the terminal window that
was used to start it.
BETA_5_9_9
20. When clickthru is on, always pass clicks on to
tool windows regardless of which subdesktop
is active.
21. Tool window mapping/unmapping forces retiling.
22. Clickthru on a tile_resize:False desktop now
works if the clicked window was already in the
left track and no visible retiling occured.
23. More tweaks to focus handling when a window
is unmapped.
24. Using any of the zoom keyboard shortcuts on
a tiled window will do one of two things:
If the window is not in the left track,
put it there.
If the window is in the left track,
swap it with the top right track window.
BETA_5_9_11
25. Fixed a bug when using the zoom key to swap
the current with the previous left track window.
BETA_5_9_12
26. Fixed a bug that prevented autoraise_notile
prefs from being seen.
BETA_5_9_13
BETA_5_9_14
27. Got rid of lazy_notile and autoraise_notile
since the reason they were created no longer
exists, and that mode did not integrate well
with the rest of larswm.
(clickthru gets rid of the need to click twice
on windows when you are working with more
than one at a time.)
28. On a single screen display, do not grab the
keyboard combination for prev and next screen.
29. When unhiding a window, don't lose track of
focus if the newly mapped window did not want
input focus.
30. Alt-Button3 will now lower a window if that
window belongs to the currently active
subdesktop, otherwise it will be raised.
31. Compiles without any warnings with
gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic.
BETA_5_9_15
32. Fix prev/next screen key bug.
BETA_5_9_16
33. Fix small bug introduced in BETA_5_9_15 that
didn't redraw the window borders correctly
in all cases.
BETA_5_9_17
34. Got rid of the alarm() stuff. Now, instead of
checking the named pipe every second for
updates, it will only check if it receives
an XClientMessageEvent on an atom named
"LARSWM_MESSAGE". One way to send that message
is to run larswm with the 'message' command
line argument. So, to use the status bar
message facility, write the data to the pipe
and then run 'larswm message'.
#!/bin/sh
# helloworld example
echo "Hello World" > $HOME/.larswmfifo
larswm message
exit 0
It's my hope that getting rid of the signal
stuff will make it a bit more stable, and it
also makes sense that the supplier of the data
decides the rate at which it should be fetched.
35. Added the flushmessage command line option
which tells the running larswm to read and
throw away everything in the pipe. It's a good
idea to use this before writing to the pipe
to make sure the message you are about to
write to the pipe will be seen right away.
sample.barinfo have been updated to use this
new message facility.
In the helloworld example above, you would
insert the line 'larswm flushmessage'
before the line containing the echo command.
BETA_5_9_18
36. Fix a bug where focus would not be set to the
left track on tile_resize:false desktops.
BETA_5_9_19
37. Excerpt from IRC:
<dabugas> my recommendation as le grande artiste
<dabugas> is to use [ instead of <
Let it be known that I have now done this years'
change of larswm purely for looks. :)
BETA_5_9_20
38. Got rid of Alt+Button3 for Raise/Lower. If a
window is in the way, it makes more sense to
use the keyboard shortcut to hide it, do stuff
to whatever was underneath, and then use the
keyboard shortcut to unhide the last hidden
window.
39. Shift+Button3 now shows the list of hidden
windows if there are any.
40. NO mouse grabs are done on the focused window.
This means all modifier combinations on clicks
are available to the application.
BETA_5_9_21
41. Minor focus tweaks. prev/next_window on the
untiled subdesktop was sometimes confused.
BETA_5_9_22
42. Added keyboard shortcuts for resizing windows
on the untiled subdesktop.
The default keys are:
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Up Grow vertical
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Down Shrink vertical
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Right Grow horizontal
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Left Shrink horizontal
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Home Grow both ways
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Up Shrink both ways
It will not let any part of the window end up
outside the visible screen area, and it will
honor all hints, including minimum size.
REL_6_0_0_PRE_1
43. Put a delimiter between restart and exit to
avoid accidents. =)
REL_6_0_0_PRE_2
44. Do allow Button3 clicks on inactive windows
to be sent to the client if the window is
an untiled window and the untiled desktop is
active. Basically, to use the menu you need
to Button3 click in one of the following
locations:
1. The root window
2. Any inactive tiled window.
3. An inactive window that is not a tool
and that is on a different subdesktop
than what is currently active.
REL_6_0_0_PRE_3
6.0 - Sep 11, 2000: 1. Change version to 6.0 stable. Update docs.
REL_6_0_0
6.0.1 - Sep 13, 2000: 1. Fix a bug in status bar messaging that would
coredump if a message containing just a newline
was in the pipe when updating the bar.
This changes slightly how the message is
displayed, no editing is done by larswm,
so it is the responsibility of the data source
to strip out newlines and other non-printable
characters. Also, if there is no message in
the pipe, the status bar message will be
cleared instead of showing the old message when
'larswm message' is run.
2. In sample.barinfo, remove dependency on wget
for the BSDs.
REL_6_0_1
6.0.2 - Sep 13, 2000: 1. Restore the functionality that moves focus
between screens when the mouse is moved into
a different screen. Implemented slightly
different than before, mouse pointer does
not have to enter a client window, entering
the screen is enough.
2. Fixed a real small bug in the layout of tiled
windows. One pixel was wasted between status
bar and the windows. =)
REL_6_0_2
6.0.3 - Sep 16, 2000: 1. Fix the bug that would make the root window
get the same background color as the menu
in some instances when right clicking and
releasing quickly.
Thanks to Michael Lothian for finding a
solution to this problem.
2. Added the larswm.show_class option which
lets you turn on showing the window class
on the status bar on startup.
3. Added the larswm.floatclass.# option which
lets you specify certain windows you always
want floating above the other tiled and
untiled windows. Like tools, mouse clicks are
passed on to these windows if clickthru is
on regardless of which subdesktop is active.
REL_6_0_3
6.0.4 - Sep 16, 2000: 1. Got rid of larswm.default_notile option.
Now always on, that is, no window is tiled
unless a larswm.dotileclass.# line exists
for its class/instance.
REL_6_0_4
6.1b - Sep 21, 2000: 1. Got rid of larswm.bar option. Status bar is
now always visible, as it has other functions
not available without it.
2. Added larswm.toggle_inc_key and mod shortcut.
This lets you toggle whether move/resize keys
does 5% of screen size or 1 pixel (or if hints
are specified, the smallest possible change.)
When resizing, it actually resizes 2 pixels
instead of 1, to make the window stay where
it is.
3. A 'B' in the mode flags on the status bar means
the 5% change is in effect.
4. When show_class is on, show class info about
the focused window after the class/instance
name in a separate mode flag field.
[nftsi]
n = notile, f = floating, t = tool, s = sticky
and i = takes input.
5. Cleaned up menu code, but did not remove it.
Moved hidden windows back to where 9wm keeps
them, that is at the end of the main menu.
The menu is now exactly 9wm standard.
6. Added many mouse commands to the status bar,
they are now:
No modifier
Button1 Previous desktop
Button2 Toggle tiled/untiled
Button3 Next desktop
Button4 Previous desktop
Button5 Next desktop
Shift
Button1 Toggle clickthru
Button2 Toggle tile_resize
Button3 Toggle skip_focus
Button4 Previous window
Button5 Next window
Control
Button1 Toggle show_class
Button2 Toggle focused isnotile
Button3 New Terminal
Shift+Control
Button1 Toggle focused isfloat
Button2 Toggle focused istool
Button3 Toggle focused issticky
The mouse wheel functions also works when
the pointer is on the root window or above
an unfocused window.
7. Removed the larswm.show_class option as it is
now very quick and easy to turn that feature
on by control-button1 clicking the status bar.
BETA_6_1_0
8. Removed grab.c! Removed menu code!
9. The way to find and unhide hidden windows are
as follows.
On the status bar, these new mouse clicks:
Alt-Button1 Show previous hidden window
Alt-Button2 Unhide currently shown window
Alt-Button3 Show next hidden window
Alt-Button4 Show previous hidden window
Alt-Button5 Show next hidden window
The mouse wheel functions also work on the
root window and any unfocused window.
When a hidden window label is shown instead
of the currently focused window's label, it
looks like this:
Hidden (xterm)
And if the window is on a different screen
than the status bar you are looking at:
Other (xterm)
If no hidden window is shown when Alt-Button2
is pressed, the currently focused window will
be hidden.
BETA_6_1_1
10. Get rid of debug printf in buttons.c.
BETA_6_1_2
11. Dont show focused window's class info while
browsing hidden window labels.
BETA_6_1_3
12. Added the larswm.selection.# option. Use this
in conjunction with application shortcuts to
define applications that will have the current
selection inserted into the command line where
the first '%s' occurs before executing.
Here is an example:
larswm.application.0: xterm -e man %s
larswm.selection.0: True
larswm.application_key.0: m
larswm.application_mod.0: Shift+Control
With that, you can highlight text and when
using the hotkey, an xterm with a manual page
about whatever word you highlighted will open.
See sample.larswm for more examples.
BETA_6_1_4
13. Changed the way the selection is passed to apps.
When the app is launched, the following variables
will be set:
LARSWM_SELID=window id of selection owner
LARSWM_SELNAME=title of selection owner
LARSWM_FOCUSID=window id of focused window
LARSWM_FOCUSNAME=title of focused window
LARSWM_SELTEXT=highlighted text.
Up to 1024 characters of the selection.
The reason for both selection owner and focused
window is that when you want to get the title
of a window, the title is almost never set on
the same window as selection owner is reported
as. See sample.larswm for an example of how to
set up various application hotkeys using these
variables.
14. Got rid of the larswm.selection option, the
environment varible is always set if text
exists.
15. Added the file sample.editor which shows how you
can use the variables to pass current working dir
of a terminal window to the launched app.
BETA_6_1_5
16. Fix a portability problem with putenv.
BETA_6_1_6
17. Set focused window id/name variables even if
nothing is selected.
18. Variables are no longer set to the empty string
but left unset if that particular bit on info
is not available (most often LARSWM_SELNAME).
BETA_6_1_7
19. Updated sample.editor to be a bit smarter.
BETA_6_1_8
20. Added mouse move and resize. You initiate a
window move by Shift-Alt-Button1 clicking
the status bar. This warps the pointer to the
top left corner of the currently focused
window, and the window will be dragged until
you release Button1.
To resize, Shift-Control-Alt-Button1 click the
status bar. This warps the cursor to the lower
right corner of the window, and that corner
will be dragged until you release Button1.
Please note that the display will be grabbed
during window/corner dragging and no content
will be updated. This prevents a flood of
expose events to the clients while you are
manipulating the window.
BETA_6_1_9
21. Added display of geometry on the status bar
while moving and resizing with the mouse.
BETA_6_1_10
22. When starting to move or resize a window with
the mouse, make sure that window is on top.
BETA_6_1_11
23. To limit the number of key combinations, the
keys for resizing the left track has been
removed. Instead use the same keys that you
use for resizing a window on the untiled
desktop:
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Right Grow
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Left Shrink
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Up Maximize
Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Down Restore
This functionality is available when the
tiled subdesktop is active, when the untiled
subdesktop is active, these keys resize the
focused window like before.
BETA_6_1_12
24. Update docs. Up version to pre-release status.
REL_6_2_0_PRE_1
25. All shell variables that are set when launching
an app have been renamed to just WM_something.
26. Added the WM_SELICONNAME and WM_FOCUSICONNAME
which contains the icon title property of the
windows.
The complete list is now:
WM_SELTEXT=highlighted text.
WM_SELID=window id of selection owner
WM_SELNAME=window title of selection owner
WM_SELICONNAME=icon title of selection owner
WM_FOCUSID=window id of focused window
WM_FOCUSNAME=window title of focused window
WM_FOCUSICONNAME=icon title of focused window
27. Changed the way text messages are sent to
be displayed on the status bar. Now communicates
entirely through the X server.
28. Removed the flushmessage command line option.
29. Changed how 'larswm message' works. Now takes
the text to be displayed as an argument, if
no argument is included, clear the status bar.
larswm message "Hello World"
REL_6_2_0_PRE_2
30. Forgot to update sample.barinfo, now uses the
new message facility.
REL_6_2_0_PRE_3
7.0 - 9/25/2000: 1. Upped version to 7.0 as this contains quite
a few changes that makes it incompatible with
previous config files etc.
REL_7_0_0
2. Fixed two memory leaks.
REL_7_0_1
3. Fixed a big where WM_NAME shell variables
would not be set.
REL_7_0_2
4. Removed server grabbing when moving and resizing
windows with the mouse.
REL_7_0_3
5. Simplified message sending. Each "larswm message"
run involves fewer function calls in the running
larswm.
REL_7_0_4
6. When using the mouse to move or resize, after
manipulating the window, restore the mouse
pointer back to where it was when the command
was initiated.
7. Added the option larswm.button#.application,
This will run a command when the mouse is
clicked outside any window.
Since it can be hard to aim at the visible
areas of the root window when the screen is
full of tiled windows, the window borders can
also be used for this purpose, making it easy
since all you have to do is move the mouse
against the left, right or top edge of the
screen before clicking.
Example:
larswm.button3.application: xterm
will launch en xterm when right-clicking
the desktop. The same environment variables
are set as for keyboard shortcuts, letting you
define mouse commands that behave differently
depending on what you are doing.
8. Fixed a bug where focus would move when going
to another virtual desktop and back again.
9. Added sample.barclock, which is just the
date/time display portion of sample.barinfo.
10. Alt-Button1, 2 and 3 on the status bar used
for finding and unhiding/hiding windows also
works on the root window.
REL_7_0_5
11. Oops. Forgot to add sample.barclock to the
RPM spec file.
12. Got rid of larswm.terminal option, use
keyboard shortcuts and/or mouse button apps
to emulate the old behaviour.
13. The key Shift+Control+Return is no longer
defined by default.
14. Control-Button3 on the status bar zooms/unzooms
the focused window.
REL_7_0_6
15. Fix a small typo in the -defaults output.
16. Add a reference card for the resources,
larswmrc_refcard.ms, which is a troff/tbl
document like the other reference cards.
17. Fix border clicking so that it works on
inactive borders as well. Now you really
can put the mouse against an edge and click
to execute mouse applications.
REL_7_0_7
18. Fix the problem where sometimes clicks would
work as if they were on the root window or
the border even if they were inside the window.
This problem only showed up with clients who
did not select mouse clicks on all of the
window, and left some areas exposed to clicks
that it wasn't interested in receiving.
An example is Xcalc, between the buttons.
REL_7_0_8
19. Removed some old code dealing with FocusIn
events that could cause a core dump in some
rare circumstances.
20. No longer sets a cursor. To get the old cursor
back, use:
xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow
in your .xsession or other login file.
The special move and resize cursor are still
set when those operations are performed.
21. Minor tweak to status bar. Saves 2 pixels in
both dimensions by droping the border.
22. Fix a minor visual bug where windows sometimes
would not line up properly with the status bar
when different border widths and tile padding
was chosen.
REL_7_0_9
23. Removed all the different mouse combinations
on the status bar.
24. Added a menu for the status bar, that works
the same way that you find and unhide windows.
Use Control + mouse buttons on the status bar
to access the menu.
25. Got rid of larswm.border and larswm.tile_pad
options. If you don't want 2 pixel borders
and 1 pixel padding, edit dat.h (Look for
BORDER and TILE_PAD at the top of the file.)
26. Got rid of larswm.sticky_notile option.
27. Made tools be floating by default.
REL_7_0_10
28. Fixed a focus bug that was most noticable in
Netscape, where sometimes you could click in
a text field to select it, but no keystrokes
would make it there.
REL_7_0_11
29. Added the larsremote program, which contains
only the code needed to send messages to
larswm. It can send exit, restart and status
bar message events.
30. The exit, restart and message command line
arguments are no longer supported by the main
larswm program, use larsremote.
31. Added the larsclock program, which is a
clock app that keeps the status bar updated
without launching an external program to
send the message to larswm.
REL_7_0_12
32. Removed a call to abort() in client.c, this
was the only reported crash since 7.0.12, and
I don't think anything will break by just
having it silently ignore that particular
error condition.
33. Made it possible to define keyboard shortcuts
with no modifiers. Specify 'None' as modifier.
34. Fixed an omission, larsremote now correctly
sets an exit status of 0 if it ran without
problems.
REL_7_0_13 Dec 1, 2000.
35. Fixed a memory leak in larsclock.
36. Removed checking for input hint. Many
programs set this incorrectly, and I have yet
to see anything break by giving input focus
to a window that didn't ask for it.
This also means force focus (shift-click)
is gone.
37. Fixed sample.editor to work with RH72 default
prompt format.
REL_7_0_14 May 2, 2002.
38. Fixed a bug where, depending on what modifiers
were used, keystrokes would just get eaten
by larswm and not passed down to the appplication.
REL_7_0_15 Jun 7, 2002.
39. Added another way to zoom non-tiled windows.
By default Shift-Control-space zooms a window
so it uses 90% of the screen height and 60% of
the width and centers it. In larswmrc, edit:
larswm.move_select_key: space
larswm.move_select_mod: Shift+Control
to chose keyboard command.
Also, Control-Button1 on an inactive untiled
window gives it focus and select zooms it in
this way.
Shift-Control-Button2 in status bar is another
way to toggle select zoom on a window.
Note that when zooming a window, if another
widow is already zoomed, it will be unzoomed.
40. With mouse pointer on status bar, if holding
down Shift while rolling the mouse wheel
you will go to prev/next window on current
desktop. Shift-Control and wheel will shrink
and grow current window. Shift-Control and
Button1/Button3 also shrinks/grows.
Control-Shift-Alt and wheel will move window
vertically, while Shift-Alt and wheel moves
it horizontally.
REL_7_0_16 Jun 28, 2002.
41. Fixed a small bug in the focus handling when
using the select zoom feature mentioned in
entry #39 above.
42. Removed a couple of obsolete doc files.
43. If a .larswmrc cannot be found in the home
directory, or where the user specified
with -f then a system wide file is looked
for. By default /etc/X11/larswmrc is loaded.
REL_7_0_18 Jul 1, 2002.
44. When using the keyboard or mouse to go to the
previous or next window on the untiled desktop,
if the current window is select zoomed, the
next/previous window is select zoomed too.
Also, if a window is zoomed the normal way
and you try to select zoom it, it is first
unzoomed.
To recap: Only one window can be select zoomed
at any given time.
More than one window can be zoomed
vertically, horizontally or both
(maximized) at a time.
A window can only have one type of
zoom active at any given time.
I believe these rules will make for less
confusion on the long run.
45. When unhiding a window, properly set the active
subdesktop to whichever the unhid window belongs
to
REL_7_0_19 Jul 6, 2002.
46. Simplified zoom select to not be too automatic,
it is the untiled subdesktop after all. You can
have more than one window zoomed in the middle.
When you go to next and previous windows using
the keyboard or mouse the newly focused windows
are not automatically zoomed. Also making sure
that a window that has one kind of zoom applied
is first unzoomed when another tpe of zoom is
requested. Also made this kind of zoom use the
full height of the screen and adjust width so
the ratio is the same as for a US letter sized
paper (11x8.5).
REL_7_1_0 Jul 10, 2002.
47. Only one very small change in this patch, when
resizing a window using the mouse wheel, rolling
up will grow the window and rolling down will
shrink it.
REL_7_1p1 Jul 18, 2002.
48. raise_notile_key and raise_notile_mod were omitted
from "larswm -defaults", this has been fixed.
Also, version numbering back to old standard.
REL_7_1_2 Jul 21, 2002.
49. Added keyboard shortcut for moving a window between
the tiled and untiled subdesktop. As a result,
removed that functionality from the control menu.
Default key binding is Shift+Control+space
When a window is changed from being tiled to
untiled, it is sized to 1/2 screen height and
width and centered on the screen.
REL_7_1_3 Aug 22, 2002.
50. By Florian Forster <octopus@verplant.org>
Partial rewrite of the tiling code. The behavior
stays the same, but a PResizeInc-hint does no
longer result in (ugly?) gaps between windows
and/or tracks, ConfigureNotifies are sent at more
appropriate times and a simple debug-message
system has been implemented.
(Thank you Florian, this looks much nicer! /Lars)
REL_7_1_4 Aug 23, 2002.
51. Added the option to compile it with 3D borders.
This is on by default, edit Imakefile to turn off.
The reason it is not a runtime option is, some
people might not want all that extra code that does
nothing except make it look pretty linked into
their binaries. With this, if you do not specify
colors in your .larswmrc, you get my default
color scheme, yellow on slategray.
BETA_7_2_0 Sep 10, 2002.
52. Fixed a redrawing problem. When moving or resizing
with the mouse, the 3D borders would get smudged.
53. Bug when xterms will open up thinking they are
80x24 even though they've been tiled to other sizes
is still there. Help wanted to find this. :)
BETA_7_2_1 Sep 10, 2002.
54. Some code cleanup, removed unnecessary calls to
sendconfig().
55. Window gravity should now be accurate.
56. Released with known xterm size problem.
Workaround documented in README and manpage.
In short, put this line in your .cshrc or .bashrc:
eval `resize`
57. Incorporated the users manual into the main larswm
manpage.
REL_7_2_2 Sep 11, 2002.
58. Oops! Cleaned out a bit too much. Put some sendconfig
calls back. Now drop down menus and stuff like that
shouldn't appear in the wrong location after a window
has been moved by larswm.
REL_7_2_3 Sep 12, 2002.
59. To switch virtual desktop with the mouse wheel,
the pointer needs to be on the status bar. Also,
when rolling the wheel above an inactive window,
that window will be made active and receive the
Button4/Button5 events. This should prevent the
annoying behaviour when you flip through desktops
with the wheel, only to have it get stuck on a
window that happen to be under the mouse pointer
after you switch desktop, and also be consistent
with how the normal 3 mouse buttons work.
60. Small tweak to how default colors are handled when
compiled with THREE_D on.
61. Always show Class~Instance and window flags on
status bar.
62. When a window is moved from the tiled to the untiled
subdesktop, the hints are checked for its default
size and location.
REL_7_2_4 Sep 27, 2002.
63. Item 62 rolled back. Too many clients do not set
proper hints.
REL_7_2_5 Sep 28, 2002.
64. Small fix to virtual desktop switching. Should work
with transparent aterm windows now.
REL_7_2_6 Sep 29, 2002.
65. By Florian Forster <octopus@verplant.org>
A window's title which is too long for larswm's bar
is now chopped appropriate.
66. Fixed a long standing bug where the root window would
be repainted with larswm's current background color
when some GTK applications were closed.
67. Fixed another long standing bug where new apps could
not be launched after certain GTK apps had been
running for awhile, most notably Galeon.
REL_7_2_7 Oct 26, 2002.
68. Fix #67 did not work. Removing all that selection
stuff for now. This means the special shell
variables (WM_SELTEXT etc) are no longer set.
REL_7_2_8 Oct 26, 2002.
69. Changed the default session file to run ssh-agent if
it is available.
RPM version upped to 7.2.8-2, no change to source
file version.
REL_7_2_8 Oct 31, 2002.
70. Changes to default config files to update them for
RedHat 9. (Using Mozilla instead of Galeon etc)
71. Removed some unused code.
72. When specifying Class~Instance, if you do not
include both (using the tilde), your string is
compared both to class and instance of the client.
REL_7_2_9 Apr 3, 2003.
73. Applied patch from debian bug database that
adds a -format option to larsclock. Changed
the default format to be 12 hour clock.
74. Applied patch from Edelhard Becker to fix
focus problem with GTK2 applications.
REL_7_2_10 Apr 28, 2003.
75. Added the concept of setting aside windows
using a keyboard shortcut.
76. Added the 'z' indicator to the status bar.
On when a window is in a zoomed state.
77. Some tweaking to window/status bar layering.
Should work a tad better with windows that
are bigger than the area above the status bar.
REL_7_3_0 Apr 3, 2004.
78. Swapped the meaning of wheel up and down when
resizing windows. Think of it as moving the
window closer to your eyes when rolling the
wheel towards you.
79. Added mouse combos for setting windows aside.
Hold Control-Alt and click status bar to do
the following:
button1 = put back next window
button2 = put aside or put back
button3 = put aside current window
button4 = button1
button5 = button3
80. Fixed window stacking. When using
Control-button1 to select a window, never
change stacking if selecting a window on
the inactive subdesktop. For ghostscript
without frontend and similar situations.
REL_7_3_1 Apr 5, 2004.
81. Fixed 3D borders. Now uses 0 width lines for
the effect. The result is a slightly cleaner
look and possibly faster drawing on some
X servers.
REL_7_3_2 Apr 15, 2004.
81. Fixed crashing bug when using Shift-wheel-up
on the status bar of an empty virtual desktop.
REL_7_3_3 Apr 30, 2004.
82. Added one more way to zoom a window, similar
to the Shift-Alt-KP_Begin used to maximize
a window both ways.
Using Shift-Control-Alt-KP_Begin will make
the window as close to the exact size of the
display as possible while still following
the size hints.
REL_7_3_4 May 5, 2004.
83. Made windows that are set aside be stacked
along the right edge the same way tiled
windows are in the right track when resize
is off.
84. Very minor fix to mouse resizing, making the
window corner follow the mouse pointer better.
85. Tweaked how windows are sized when moved
from tiled to untiled subdesktop. Now uses
size hints if appropriate.
REL_7_3_5 May 7, 2004.
86. Applied Tommy Pettersons sticky-space-per-desktop
patch, as found in the 7.3.5 Debian package.
REL_7_3_6 May 15, 2004.
87. Applied a couple of Mikolaj Golub's patches.
Fix for crashing bug when using xxkb.
Small tweak that lets you cycle through windows
in the right track the same way whether
tile_resize is on or off.
REL_7_3_7 May 16, 2004.
88. Restored the zoom_full_ entries to prefs.c.
89. Updated email address and website info with
new permanent addresses. Thanks to dyndns.org
they should stay permanent from now on.
Please update in your packages if you provide
larswm binaries of any kind.
REL_7_3_8 May 20, 2004.
90. Added a way to quickly move a window to a
different virtual desktop. It is not exactly
like Mikolaj Golub's patch set, but a variant
of it. If you use Shift-Alt with Left or Right
arrow keys, you switch desktop while dragging
the focused window with you to the new desktop.
REL_7_3_9 May 25, 2004.
91. Removed the special handling of transient
windows. They are now just forced to the
untiled subdesktop. This should make it
easier to deal with things like Mozilla
download windows.
92. Ran all source code through GNU Indent.
93. Cleaned up manual pages, README etc.
removing most of the information, since it will
be part of the new User Guide instead.
94. Added Arnold Robbins' 9menu-1.7 to the dist.
Renamed it to not cause conflicts when
installing both larswm and 9menu, and
to comply with the 9menu license when
modifying the code. The menu items were
made much larger so as to require less
mouse precision. Only one menu will
be allowed on each display at a time.
Also updated sample.larswmrc to use the menu.
95. Cleaned up gravity code again. It is verified
to work correctly with xterm, xcalc, xlogo,
xedit and a few other standard X programs.
It may leave windows slightly off or in
from screen edges with clients that do not
set geometry hints properly.
REL_7_4_0 May 30, 2004.
96. Ignore mouse wheel in menu.
97. Updated the manual pages.
REL_7_4_1 May 30, 2004.
98. When using the menu, Escape closes it.
**** Thanks to Florian Forster for 99-101. :)
99. Cleaned up some inconsistensies in the
status bar menu.
100. Removed the automatic association between
tile_resize and skip_focus. sample.larswmrc
has been updated to reflect this. Basically
you need to have both tile_resize: False
and skip_focus: False to get the old
behaviour.
101. Fixed a small bug with window focus when
using sticky windows on the tiled subdesktop.
REL_7_4_2 May 31, 2004.
102. Fixed the XMULIB reference in the Imakefile.
103. Restored manual page. Who knows when I'll have
tiem to finish the new manual. :/
REL_7_4_3 Jun 01, 2004.
104. Made the menu window sticky in the default config
so you don't have to search for it if you try to
open more than one menu.
REL_7_4_4 Jun 01, 2004.
105. Fixed RPM spec session file name.
REL_7_4_5 Jun 02, 2004.
106. Updated manual page. Incorporated keyboard
and mouse tables.
107. Removed RPM spec file from source dist.
This will make it easier to provide RPMS
for other distros, and remove the need for
a new source dist when the RPM build changes.
SRPM files will be made available instead.
REL_7_4_6 Jun 02, 2004.
108. Final (I hope!) cleanup of the focus code when
using Control-Button1 to change the default
focus rules.
REL_7_4_7 Jun 03, 2004.
109. Repackaged tar file, upped version to not have
any checksum confusion.
REL_7_4_8 Jun 03, 2004.
110. Fixed a rare bug where the status bar would not
get redrawn when changing virtual desktop.
111. Removed a couple of unused functions.
112. Status bar made slightly thinner when using
3D borders.
113. Changed section of man pages to follow Debian
standards.
REL_7_4_9 Jun 16, 2004.
114. Added the Shift-Control-0 keyboard command to
set aside all untiled windows except the
currently focused.
115. Control-Button1 on an aside window will put
it back, then put aside all other untiled windows.
116. Fixed a bug where the wrong subdesktop could be
active after putting back an aside window.
117. Made the menu slightly wider and shorter.
118. Don't count tool space on a desktop where
tile_resize is off.
119. A tool window should never get focus except
when manually focused by clicking on it.
Note that focus will still be removed from
the currently active window when a tool window
opens.

cannot move themselves off screen.
126. Rewrite of `draw_tbar' to fix possible buffer-
overflows.
127. Fixed calls to `execl' in `buttons.c' to pass a valid
sentinel. (Needed to compile with `-Wall -Werror')
