News
Version 0.96.0 released
Window Maker 0.96.0 was released on August 5th 2023
Screen corners can be assigned an external command to be executed
when the mouse pointer is entering those areas. In WPrefs, “Hot Corner
Shortcut Preferences” can be used for configuration or by manually
adding a “HotCorners” key and value to “YES” in the
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file. Hot Corners feature is disabled by
default. Actions are specified by the “HotCornerActions” and are defined
as a four entries list (“top left action”, “top right action”, “bottom
left action”, “bottom right action”). A screen corner area is a cube
shape defined by the “HotCornerEdge” which is a number of pixels from 2
(by default) to 10. To lower the risk of triggering that feature
accidentally a “HotCornerDelay” key can be used which is the time before
the action is triggered while the pointer is in one of the screen
corner. Default value is 250 ms.
In WPrefs “Keyboard Shortcut Preferences” tab, three new actions can
be configured: “Capture a portion of the screen”, “Capture a window”,
“Capture the entire screen”. The file is saved in
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Screenshots directory under a filename
format “screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S” followed by the extension.
Which can be png or jpg based on WRaster dependencies.
libXRes is now an optional dependency. XRes the resource extension
for the X protocol is used to find the underlying processes (and PIDs)
responsible for displaying the windows.
Support for _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS hint. That hint allows
applications that support it to be set as fullscreen on multiple heads.
It depends on Xinerama extension support.
To keep the dock on the primary head in a multi-head setup, set the
option “KeepDockOnPrimaryHead” in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker to
“YES” or click “Keep dock on primary head” under the WPrefs “Expert User
Preferences” tab.
Moving IRC official channel to Libera.chat
At May 26 2021, by taking into account pros and cons, Window Maker team
has decided to move our IRC channel from Freenode to Libera.chat
network. Reasons for such move was recent major changes how Freenode IRC
network is being operated. See Community section for details.
Version 0.95.9 released
Window Maker 0.95.9 was released on April 4th 2020
SwitchPanel is now more configurable: you can configure the switch
panel icon size by setting the “SwitchPanelIconSize” option to your
preferred value in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker. The font size used in
this panel now is also sensible to changes in the system font.
New user configuration directory environment variable. In previous
versions, the GNUstep directory used to store a user’s Window Maker
configuration files was specified by the GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment
variable, which defaulted to ~/GNUstep. However, this environment
variable was deprecated in gnustep-make v2. Therefore, it has been
replaced by the WMAKER_USER_ROOT environment variable.
libXmu is now an optional dependency.If the library is not found,
compilation work, the only limitation will arise when trying to install
the standard colormap on displays which are not TrueColor. Please note
that if you have the library but not the headers, configure will still
stop; there is no user option to explicitly disable the library use.
