23 controls if we update binds when the keyboard layout changes at runtime.
24 * The resize action now only considers the part of the client that is onscreen
25 for purposes of picking an action to perform.

154 * Show the desktop pager popup on the primary monitor instead of on all

183 session manager and ask it to exit if so, or simply kill Openbox if not.
184 * Further tweaks to the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message handling. Use the same
185 logic for focus-stealing as is used when mapping a new window.
186 * Don't go out of our way any more to prevent focus from moving while the

191 * Updated translations: Italian, Croatian, Ukrainian.
192 * When resizing a window while focus cycling with bar=no, the bar no longer

196 * Fix the <monitor> per-app setting.
197 * Avoid using anonymous unions.

209 You can now change the (first) _ in a label to __, this will be displayed
210 as a single underscore. The rest of the _ in the string will be unaffected,
211 so only double the first one.
212 * Only replace ~ with the home directory when it is preceded by whitespace or
213 is at the start of the string, and when it is followed by a space, slash, or

219 * Updated translations: Basque, Catalan, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Russian.
220 * New translations: Danish, Turkish, Lithuanian.

229 set to utility window).
230 * Change the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW messages again, if they originate from the
231 app and the window is on another desktop, just set the demands_attention
232 flag. If the event came from the user (ie pager/panel), then the window
233 is still moved to the current desktop.
236 * The system I used to generate the dist tarball didn't have the
237 docbook-to-man command so the manpages were empty.
240 * Not to be outdone by the cairo team, I introduced a bug in the last release
241 which made resizing not give any feedback. This is now fixed.

249 the default rc.xml file
250 * Add a new xdg-autostart script. This will eventually end up in the PyXDG

252 runs things based on the freedesktop.org autostart specification. You can
253 have it run GNOME, KDE, ROX, or XFCE specific things if you want. The
254 new default system-wide autostart.sh script runs it automatically
255 * Update the default menu.xml to include a lot of common apps

265 to bring the window to the current desktop instead. This is the industry
267 * Use the pretty new openbox.png icon as the default window icon
268 * Allow matching per-application rules to windows by their window type
269 (normal, dialog, splash, etc). The default rc.xml has more details
270 * Add new Openbox-themed prompt windows. Use these prompt windows to ask
271 before killing off windows that aren't responding. This also means we
272 don't need to ping every window constantly forever
273 * Add a new <prompt> option to the Execute action. If this is set to a
274 string, a dialog will be shown with that string in it and "yes"/"no"
275 buttons. The command to be executed will only be run if the user selects
277 * Add a new <prompt> option to the Exit action, which is a boolean (not a
278 string). When true, Openbox will show a dialog confirming if you want to
279 exit. The default is to show the prompt
280 * Reduce Openbox's memory footprint and speed up rendering through the use
281 of a new icon cache, so that Openbox only needs to keep 1 copy of an icon
282 when 100 different windows share it
283 * Make Openbox menus have the "menu type" hint for compositors to see and use
284 * Fix the MoveResizeTo action for negative coords (opposite edges)
285 * Fix key bindings getting lost if multiple bindings at the same level could
286 not be translated (Fixes VMWare causing Openbox keybindings to stop

291 * Add new theme options for menu line separators: menu.separator.color,
292 menu.separator.width, menu.separator.padding.width,
293 menu.separator.padding.height
294 * Add xfce-mcs-manager to the default autostart.sh, and run it automatically
295 when gnome-settings-daemon is not present to have GTK apps inherit settings
296 from the XFCE configuration tools
297 * Make the send-to-desktop menu in the client-menu indicate which is the current
298 desktop for omnipresent windows, and don't close it if just toggling
299 omni-presence when ctrl-clicking
300 * Add a new SessionLogout action that logs out through the session manager,
301 when running Openbox within a session manager such as within an
302 GNOME/Openbox or KDE/Openbox session. The action includes a <prompt>
303 option which is similar to the Exit action's
304 * Add a new gdm-control command that lets you control gdm from within an X
305 session. The gdm-control lets you change GDM's behaviour for when you end
306 the current session. For instance, you can tell GDM to reboot, and
307 then immediately log out of the current session, and the computer will be
309 * Show an information dialog when an error occurs for Openbox, such as when
310 the Execute action fails or when XML syntax errors are present in the

313 on top of the ones on its left.

325 * Fix for the <focusLast> behavior
326 * Treat modal direct children as one window with their parent consistently

346 * Ignore mouse clicks that are made on override-redirect (unmanaged) windows
347 * When opening a menu with a key binding, don't use the key binding to run
348 something in the menu

350 to place new windows on the active monitor, or the monitor where the mouse
351 is, instead of on any monitor (for xinerama multihead setups)
352 * Add options for placing the window move/resize coordinate popup window in

362 * Fix bug with resizing corners on certain parts of the window frame
363 * Ping applications to tell when they are running or have become frozen.
364 Show a [Not Responding] message in the title bar of windows which are
366 * When closing a window which is [Not Responding], kill the window's process
367 if it is running on the same machine as Openbox. Otherwise, just
369 the window from the X display. A second attempt to close a [Not
371 window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
372 * Fixes for internal timers
373 * Add a <wmclass> option for the execute action's startup-notification. This
374 lets you tell Openbox that the application will map a window with the

500 incarnation may return in the future.
501 * Add optional <finalactions> option for NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
502 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
503 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
505 * Fancy keyboard window moving:
506 - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
507 - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
508 - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
509 * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
510 - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
511 shrink the window on that edge)
512 - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
513 different edge to resize
514 - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
515 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
516 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel

521 * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:
522 - you can now place windows relative to any edge of the screen instead of
523 only the top left. (-0 uses the far edge, +0 uses the near edge. You can
524 use --0 and +-0 to specify negative numbers.)
525 - fix bug with windows being placed far off-screen occasionally
526 - allow you to place windows partially outside of the screen
527 - let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
529 * Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
530 * Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group
531 transients. That wasn't supposed to be legible. i.e. 2 group transients
532 and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
533 * Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
534 other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes
535 the raiselower action for windows which have children.
536 * Reduce the size of the middle gradient in splitvertical gradients. This
537 makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2

539 * Add resize bindings for the edges to the default hardcoded bindings
540 * Fix focus cycle indicator positioning for some windows (i.e. OpenOffice)

542 you move a window to any edge of any screen.
543 * Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
544 * New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of
545 <execute> but the old one will still work.
546 * Fix for moving windows partially offsceen causing them to jump far away
547 * Fix for windows which are not on any monitor, to keep them on screen
549 * Require libstartupnotification 0.8 in configure (we use stuff that was not
550 around in some earlier versions)
551 * Grab the server when mapping windows to avoid race conditions in other
552 programs (getting MapNotify before you are visible)
553 * Handle case gracefully when ConfigureRequent for restacking specifies
554 a siblig which we aren't managing
555 * Use KeyRelease to run things from Openbox menus, so that the release
556 does not go to the focused window (causing the new window to not get

572 * Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
573 prevention (Fixes Tilda)
574 * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
575 makes this possible now)
576 * Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
577 * Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
578 some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
579 * Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with

582 * Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it
583 * End move/resize more cleanly when focus moves during a move/resize

589 * Add Vietnamese translation
590 * Add Japanese translation
591 * Keep new transient windows from not getting focus when any related window
593 * Change behavior of underMouse option - make focus go under the mouse when
594 no window has focus anymore, rather than to the last used window
595 * Make on-screen display dialogs (such as the Alt-Tab dialog) appear on the
596 active monitor when using Xinerama (a.k.a. TwinView)

599 * Fix directional focus actions when used without a dialog
600 * Fix race that could prevent ObConf from setting the desktop names correctly
601 * Add new theme options:

801 * Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next
803 * The <desktop> section from the configuration file is only used for

838 identifiers, because we can't tell them apart then (Firefox/Thunderbird)
839 * Small fixes to build system to make it more reliable

871 * Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
872 the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
873 * Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
874 windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
875 windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
876 focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.

894 * Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
895 - won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
896 clicking on the desktop (root window).
897 * Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
898 can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
899 * Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
900 * Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar

918 * Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
920 * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
922 * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
923 from other apps like pagers
924 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
925 * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
926 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
927 session with Openbox as the window manager.
928 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
929 the hideDisabled option from config file)
930 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
931 * When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
932 activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
933 * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
935 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
936 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they

938 application is focused
939 * Improvements in the distributed themes
940 * Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight

950 properties when you didnt mean to)
951 * window.inactive.border.color (note that globbing might set these

955 (button masks) will be centered
956 * Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
957 * New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
958 need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
959 is synonym for Handle.
960 * W is no longer hard coded to Mod4. It is now a shortcut for Super, which

1045 * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
1046 center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
1048 * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
1049 * Add initial per-app settings support.
1050 * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
1051 * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse

1053 * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
1054 * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
1056 * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
1058 * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
1060 * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.

1063 * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
1064 is close to the edge of the screen.
1067 * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
1068 * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),

1071 * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
1073 * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.

1076 * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
1078 * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
1079 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
1080 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
1083 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
1084 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
1085 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
1086 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
1087 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
1089 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
1090 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
1091 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
1092 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
1093 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
1094 anyway, just move the mouse.
1095 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
1096 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
1097 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
1098 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
1099 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
1100 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
1101 * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)

1106 number of the desktop
1107 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
1108 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
1109 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
1110 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
1111 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
1112 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
1113 * Added probably too many options and actions
1114 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
1115 doesn't save it to the config
1116 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
1118 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
1119 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
1120 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
1121 Nonpixel (this is the default).
1122 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
1123 edge, note that the default is true
1124 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
1125 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
1126 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
1127 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
1128 change desktops and have followMouse on)
1129 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
1130 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
1131 grid to start in the middle.
1132 * I think that was everything, have fun
1135 * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)

1225 side effect that panels which do not set the ABOVE state (most panels
1226 curerntly around) will no longer be kept always on top. You can set the
