44 window will kill it forcefully (kill -9).
45 * Fixes for internal timers

114 * Don't show the client border for undecorated windows when keepBorder is on,

171 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions

203 other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes

470 * Save the desktop layout and names in the session, and restore them on next

519 <action name="ShowMenu"><menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu></action>
520 * No menu titles - instead added separators with labels to be used as menu

535 * SCIM support in the default Openbox session launched by the
536 openbox-session command
537 * Many code paths made significantly faster
538 * Sections of code rewritten to be more reliable, such as session
539 save/restore and input focus handling
540 * Handle the X server's clock going backwards, without locking up. Sometimes
541 the server can still lock up though, it is not recommended to do this!
542 * Better handling of window types such as docks, utility windows, tool bar
543 windows. Clicking to focus these windows is done more intelligently. Dock
544 windows no longer get focus when you click them, so that you don't have
545 focus flickering when you use a dock window with a taskbar.
546 * Better language support through Pango, which is now mandatory, and the
547 code for Pango has been greatly improved and optimized.
548 * Support for windows that use true 32-bit transparency
549 * Resize grips (with mouse binding contexts) for the top, left, and right of
551 * Smarter about keeping windows on the screen without invading user's
553 * Add MoveFromEdge* actions corresponding to MoveToEdge* but aligns far

560 * Better, more friendly support for omnipresent windows
561 * Full support for EWMH 1.4-draft2
562 * Iconify/restore animation !
563 * Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
564 - won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
565 clicking on the desktop (root window).
566 * Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
567 can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
568 * Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
569 * Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar
570 * Add <panels> and <desktop> options to NextWindow, PreviousWindow,
571 DirectionalFocusNorth etc..
572 * Synchronize resizing with the application when possible
573 * Smarter subdivision of windows into 9 sections for resizing
574 * Set default icon on windows so applications can agree on an icon
575 * Better support for programs that are on more than one desktop
576 (multiple firefox windows for example) - move to the desktop when you're
577 using the application and it opens a window on another desktop.
578 * Chrooted key chains, and key quoting through chroots
579 * New BreakChroot action to break out of the current chroot
580 * New keychains popup, to show where you are in a keychain
581 * Improved show-desktop mode. When you open a new window, the old windows
583 * Add <allDesktops> option to NextWindow and PreviousWindow. The desktop
584 name will be shown in the focus cycling popup
585 * Dynamically size the window and desktop dialogs. Desktop layouts that
586 aren't horizontal look better in the desktop cycling dialog.
587 * Support for legacy fullscreen applications (that don't use EWMH) such as
589 * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
591 * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
592 from other apps like pagers
593 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features
594 * KDE/Openbox and GNOME/Openbox options for display manager GDM/KDM. Use
595 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
596 session with Openbox as the window manager.
597 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
598 the hideDisabled option from config file)
599 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
600 * When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
601 activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
602 * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
604 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
605 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they
606 know when they are or aren't focused, and which window in their
607 application is focused
608 * Improvements in the distributed themes
609 * Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight
610 * Fonts are no longer loaded from theme. They are loaded from the rc.xml
611 config file. Font shadow settings are still loaded from the theme though.

615 * menu.items.activedisabled.text.color
616 * menu.border.color (note that globbing might set these properties when
618 * window.active.border.color (note that globbing might set these
619 properties when you didnt mean to)
620 * window.inactive.border.color (note that globbing might set these
621 properties when you didnt mean to)
623 * Guarantee that titlebar buttons are even sized, so even sized icons
624 (button masks) will be centered
625 * Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
626 * New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
627 need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
628 is synonym for Handle.
629 * W is no longer hard coded to Mod4. It is now a shortcut for Super, which
630 is usually bound to Mod4. xmodmap will show your mapping.
631 * The per-app setting <head> has been renamed to <monitor>
632 * Can use "default" for anything in per-app settings
633 * Removed <edges_hit_layers_below> option from config file

706 * Fix a crash in mirrorhorizontal when drawing a surface with width 1.
709 * Add a showDelay option for the dock.
710 * Fixed onscreen-keeping code which broke a bit in -rc2.

718 * Add initial per-app settings support.

733 is close to the edge of the screen.

738 useful when it is not in the above layer.

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

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

774 * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
775 number of the desktop
776 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
777 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
778 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
779 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
780 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
781 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
782 * Added probably too many options and actions
783 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
784 doesn't save it to the config
785 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
787 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
788 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
789 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
790 Nonpixel (this is the default).
791 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
792 edge, note that the default is true
793 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
794 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
795 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
796 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
797 change desktops and have followMouse on)
798 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
799 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
800 grid to start in the middle.
801 * I think that was everything, have fun
804 * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)

894 side effect that panels which do not set the ABOVE state (most panels

896 ABOVE state yourself by using the client menu (Alt-RightClick in the
897 default bindings) and selecting the Always on top Layer
898 * Closed bug #907 (window focus is not properly indicated)
