17 controls if we update binds when the keyboard layout changes at runtime.
18 * The resize action now only considers the part of the client that is onscreen
19 for purposes of picking an action to perform.
20 * Make desktop actions non-interactive (means you can have more actions bound

179 logic for focus-stealing as is used when mapping a new window.
180 * Don't go out of our way any more to prevent focus from moving while the

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

213 * Updated translations: Basque, Catalan, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Russian.
214 * New translations: Danish, Turkish, Lithuanian.

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

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

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

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

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

307 on top of the ones on its left.

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

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

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

355 in normal ways (fixes new GNOME session logout dialogs)
356 * Fix bug with resizing corners on certain parts of the window frame
357 * Ping applications to tell when they are running or have become frozen.
358 Show a [Not Responding] message in the title bar of windows which are
360 * When closing a window which is [Not Responding], kill the window's process
361 if it is running on the same machine as Openbox. Otherwise, just
363 the window from the X display. A second attempt to close a [Not
365 window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
366 * Fixes for internal timers
367 * Add a <wmclass> option for the execute action's startup-notification. This
368 lets you tell Openbox that the application will map a window with the

496 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
497 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This
499 * Fancy keyboard window moving:
500 - Shift-arrow will move the window to the next edge
501 - Control-arrow will move the window by only 1 pixel
502 - Arrow will move the window by a larger number of pixels
503 * Fancy keyboard window resizing:
504 - The first arrow will choose an edge to resize (then you can grow or
505 shrink the window on that edge)
506 - Hitting an arrow perpendicular to your selected edge will choose a
507 different edge to resize
508 - Shift-arrow will grow/shrink the window to the next edge
509 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
510 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
511 * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy

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

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

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

566 * Fix for gtk apps trying to get focus - mostly nullify focus stealing
567 prevention (Fixes Tilda)
568 * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
569 makes this possible now)
570 * Fix RelativeResize action for right/bottom edges
571 * Remove SCIM from the default autostart.sh - it has caused problems with
572 some (buggy) panels, such as pypanel
573 * Fix the titlebar changing to non-focused when iconifying a window with
575 * Use the new osd theme hints for the dock, rather than the titlebar hints
576 * Fix rare crash when menu is hidden while browsing it
577 * End move/resize more cleanly when focus moves during a move/resize
578 * Don't focus new windows when browsing a menu or moving/resizing a window,

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

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

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

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

866 the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
867 * Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
868 windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
869 windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
870 focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.

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

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

932 application is focused
933 * Improvements in the distributed themes

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

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

1039 * Add a 'mirrorhorizontal' gradient, like horizontal but mirrored in the
1040 center and 'splitvertical' which is like vertical but nonlinear in a fancy
1042 * Translations for de, hr and zh_TW added.
1043 * Add initial per-app settings support.
1044 * Fix some outstanding issues with 64-bit support.
1045 * Add an optional delay for displaying submenus so you can move the mouse

1047 * Plug some minor memleaks and fix minor bugs.
1048 * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.
1050 * Disable support for libstartup-notification by default, it doesn't seem
1052 * Allow disabling of duplicate window numbering by option titleNumber in
1054 * Add moverelative and resizerelative actions.

1057 * Fix transient (ie dialog) windows being placed offscreen if the parent
1058 is close to the edge of the screen.
1061 * Fixed some typos and errors in rc.xsd
1062 * Add the noStrut option to the dock (to allow maximizing windows over it),

1065 * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
1067 * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.

1070 * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
1072 * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
1073 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
1074 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
1077 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
1078 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
1079 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
1080 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
1081 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
1083 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
1084 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
1085 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
1086 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
1087 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
1088 anyway, just move the mouse.
1089 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
1090 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
1091 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
1092 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
1093 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
1094 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.

1100 number of the desktop
1101 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
1102 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
1103 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
1104 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
1105 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
1106 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
1107 * Added probably too many options and actions
1108 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
1109 doesn't save it to the config
1110 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
1112 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
1113 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
1114 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
1115 Nonpixel (this is the default).
1116 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
1117 edge, note that the default is true
1118 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
1119 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
1120 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
1121 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
1122 change desktops and have followMouse on)
1123 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
1124 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
1125 grid to start in the middle.
1126 * I think that was everything, have fun
1129 * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)

1219 side effect that panels which do not set the ABOVE state (most panels
1220 curerntly around) will no longer be kept always on top. You can set the
