If you have read the a previous README on this, you may want to skip to the
|
|
CHANGELOG. This file is very familiar to the last README.
|
|
|
|
Well, here is a summary of what it will do (* = new):
|
|
- All memory in managed dynamically by linked lists, keeping in the spirit
|
|
of Fvwm to use as little memory as possible.
|
|
- Display all windows that Fvwm knows about in Fvwm style buttons
|
|
- Iconifying a window will place () around its name in the list
|
|
- Can be nicely shutdown by typing 'Q' or 'q' inside the window
|
|
- FvwmWinListGeometry {+-}<x>{+-}x (size is ignored)
|
|
- FvwmWinListAction <action> <response>
|
|
Only Click1, Click2, Click3 are allowed as actions right now
|
|
Responses can be any Fvwm built in, or a comma seperated list of such.
|
|
(ie: '*FvwmWinListAction Click1 Iconify -1, Raise' will deiconify the
|
|
window and then raise it)
|
|
Click1 defaults to 'Iconify -1, Raise'
|
|
Click2 defaults to 'Iconify'
|
|
Click3 defaults to 'Lower'
|
|
(See config.sample for an example)
|
|
- FvwmWinListUseSkipList
|
|
Will not show the windows listed with a 'WindowListSkip' style.
|
|
- FvwmWinListNoAnchor
|
|
FvwmWinList will, by default, anchor the corner which has gravity, use
|
|
this to undo it. (btw, NW gravity and NoAnchor provide the same result.
|
|
(+x+y=NorthWest,+x-y=SouthWest,-x+y=NorthEast,-x-y=SouthEast)
|
|
This is so you can place the window list in the lower corners and
|
|
the list will not wrap past the screen edge.
|
|
- FvwmWinListUseIconNames
|
|
As it says, it will use the icon names instead of using the window
|
|
names. People have mentioned that some window names become to long.
|
|
- Allowed FvwmWinList to be started up with an arguemnt 'Transient' to allow
|
|
it to work like the build in window list. Right now if you use it in
|
|
transient mode it will only execute the command for Click1. Looking
|
|
for suggestions about using other buttons. Was considering using
|
|
modifiers (ie. Shift means button 2, etc)
|
|
- FvwmWinList now uses MWMDecorHints. (Makes the 'Transient' mode look good)
|
|
- Buttons now stay down until you actually release the button. You can click
|
|
and hold the button down and move across the buttons and the will go up
|
|
and down as to enter leave the area. Actions are performed on button
|
|
release and not on press.
|
|
- FvwmWinList will unmap itself if it has no windows to display and will
|
|
remap itself when a new window it can display is opened. If there
|
|
are no windows to display and you are using it in transient mode, it
|
|
will not come up.
|
|
|
|
I have only run this under Linux on my 386/40 with 8megs, please let me know
|
|
if you experience problems with compiling, running, or performance. I want
|
|
to tune it to run as efficient as possible, later in life.
|
|
|
|
Now, the things I still want to do with it. If you have suggestions, please
|
|
send them to me, want to make this as useful as possible.
|
|
|
|
To do: (in no particular order)
|
|
- Add the following configurable options:
|
|
- FvwmWinlistAction <action> <response>
|
|
Add more actions, like press, release, motion, 2x click, slide, etc.,
|
|
instead of just Click<x>
|
|
- FvwmWinlistOrientaion (down|across)
|
|
Should the buttons be a vertical or a horizontal list
|
|
- FvwmWinlistMaxWidth <x>
|
|
Where x is the max pixel width of the window.
|
|
- FvwmWinlistTooLong (wrap|truncate|initials)
|
|
What to do if the names are too long. (assuming you set MaxWidth)
|
|
- Allow the user to setup what is in the Op's and Detail's menu
|
|
- Possible allow diffent fonts/colors for submenus.
|
|
- Rob mentioned some people would like icons in the list if the window
|
|
if iconified. I personally like the (), although I am a but biased.
|
|
Let me know what you think/want, I will try.
|
|
- Place a small 3-D pixmap/bitmap next-to/around the windows that are
|
|
iconified instead of the ().
|
|
- Like to allow resizing of the window and have the buttons match the window
|
|
(ie. You make it wider you get 2 columns of buttons, etc.)
|
|
|
|
- Fix the following:
|
|
- The function saferealloc, based on safemalloc by Rob Nation still doesn't
|
|
work correctly, I left it in the Mallocs.c file but I use the normal
|
|
realloc now. (Being lazy on this one)
|
|
- Make compile compatability for all systems
|
|
- Tune FvwmWinList to be more efficient (Low priority, right now)
|
|
|
|
I am open to, actually I am trolling for, suggestions/improvments/ideas/rags
|
|
on this.
|

Here is a list of files included in the tar file:

You can unpack it by:
|
|
|
|
cd /foo/fvwm/modules
|
|
gzip -dc FvwmWinList-0.1.tar.gz | tar xf -
|
|
|
|
That will unpack the source into /foo/fvwm/modules/FvwmWinList.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want a binary distribution or diffs, let me know.
