105 DirectionalFocus*, and DirectionalTarget* actions
106 * Don't focus new helper windows unless they are alone in their group. This

118 - Control arrow will grow/shrink the window by only 1 pixel
119 - Arrow will grow/shrink the window by a larger number of pixel
120 * Timeout when synchronously resizing a window so you can still resize busy
121 or dead application windows
122 * Let you specify keyboard shortcuts in your root menus with _. Such as
123 label="XTe_rm" would make 'r' the shortcut key.
124 * Fixes for placing windows with per-app settings:

130 - let per-app settings override program-specified positions (but not if it
132 * Add user-specified margins to the configuration file
133 * Fix for transient windows in groups with transient windows of the group

135 and 1 direct transient for one of the group transients.
136 * Don't include child/parent windows in tests for being occluded or occluding
137 other windows, since you can't raise/lower above/below them. This fixes

140 makes the split harder than it was in 3.4.2

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

146 * Make actions that look for edges include the dock's edges (e.g. MoveToEdge)
147 * New preferred option for the Execute action is <command> instead of

176 prevention (Fixes Tilda)
177 * Send ConfigureNotify always on ConfigureRequest (Previous emacs fix
178 makes this possible now)

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

202 * Fix directional focus actions when used without a dialog
203 * Fix race that could prevent ObConf from setting the desktop names correctly

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

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

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

496 * Iconify/restore animation !
497 * Improved support for running openbox with multiple screens (non-xinerama)
498 - won't steal focus from other screens, and let you focus a screen by
499 clicking on the desktop (root window).
500 * Support for more cursors through XCursor, means that startup notification
501 can use a pointer+watch cursor if you are using an XCursor theme
502 * Fully maximize terminal windows (and any resized-by-increment window)
503 * Show the hostname of clients running on remote computers in the titlebar

523 * Session support for old clients that do not use the session management
525 * Desktop setup is only changed on startup, so as to not overwrite settings
526 from other apps like pagers
527 * Take advantage of ksmserver (KDE Session Manager) features

529 openbox-gnome-session and openbox-kde-session to run a GNOME or KDE
530 session with Openbox as the window manager.
531 * Titlebar buttons autohide when hiding won't move other buttons (removed
532 the hideDisabled option from config file)
533 * Support user time window hint, which is good for laptops power usage
534 * When legacy windows raise themselves, interpreate as wanting to be
535 activated. Makes Firefox more pleasant.
536 * Don't show handles on windows that cant resize for more extreme visual
538 * Let you move maximized windows between Xinerama monitors
539 * Improve application awareness of focus, e.g. Kopete and Firefox, so they

541 application is focused
542 * Improvements in the distributed themes
543 * Add new Clearlooks and Clearlooks-Olive themes by John McKnight

559 * Default titlebar button icons (as xbms) installed to /usr/share/doc/openbox
560 * New mouse binding contexts Left, Right, TLCorner, TRCorner and Top. These
561 need bindings in config file to be useful. Also new context Bottom which
562 is synonym for Handle.
563 * W is no longer hard coded to Mod4. It is now a shortcut for Super, which
564 is usually bound to Mod4. xmodmap will show your mapping.

652 * Add initial per-app settings support.

657 * Changed algorithm for downscaling window icons.

667 is close to the edge of the screen.

672 useful when it is not in the above layer.

674 * Yet more poking at the onscreen-keeping code, should now do the right
676 * Add an option to hide disabled buttons instead of showing them as disabled.
677 * Hopefully fixed all the remaining pango issues. The new 1.10 release also
679 * I think the lib linking in Makefile.am is right now, please tell me if it
681 * Added a finnish translation and some minor updates to others.
682 * Fixed configure.ac so --enable-pango doesn't disable pango support or the
683 other way around, make enabled be default to get some extra testing.
686 * Poked around a bit in the code that keeps windows onscreen, if you
687 are using xinerama, please let me know if things are better/worse/same.
688 * Add support for pango, disabled by default due to a bug in pango 1.8 that
689 breaks shadows, it works fine with 1.6.x though. Poke the pango developers
690 here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169622 if you want this
692 * Made edge resist and Send/MoveToEdge not hit windows at layers below
693 the current one, add option to disable this behaviour.
694 * Fixed directional focus not getting trapped in omnipresent windows
695 * Fixed focus actions when bound to the mouse, normal focus cycle is always
696 linear and directional focus is totally disabled, it makes no sense
697 anyway, just move the mouse.
698 * Added an option for the raise/lower/raiselower/unshaderaise/shadelower
699 options called group that lets you bind stuff to raise/lower the whole
700 window group. <action name="raise"><group>yes</group></action>
701 * Add various new actions. I haven't updated the web docs yet, but I think
702 I managed to get all of them listed in rc.xsd.
703 * Bugs 1783, 1812, 1863, 1905, 2005, 1957 fixed.
704 * Some translations added. (ca, no, pl, ru, fr)

708 * Changed "Unnamed Desktop" to "Desktop n" where n is the actual
709 number of the desktop
710 * Hopefully no more of the hanging X totally bug
711 * the fullscreen property now overrides aspect hints, all programs i've
712 tried that use it (mplayer and tvtime) handle the aspect internally
713 anyway, this just makes sure you have black borders all the way to the
714 edge. If this breaks anything for you, let me know.
715 * Added M as an alias for Mod3 in the same manner that W is an alias for Mod4
716 * Added probably too many options and actions
717 * ToggleDockAutohide to toggle the autohide option at runtime,
718 doesn't save it to the config
719 * keepBorder option to set if you want the 1-pixel border when you
721 * added popupShow and popupPosition to control where and when the
722 move/resize-popup is shown, these go in the resize section of the config
723 popupPosition can be Top or Center, popupShow can be Always, Never or
724 Nonpixel (this is the default).
725 * Added the xorStyle option to change the behaviour of menus along the bottom
726 edge, note that the default is true
727 * warpPointer option in the menu section to control if the mouse cursor is
728 to be warped by openbox when the menu moves to keep on screen to keep the
729 cursor in the same place relative to the menu. (I think i got that right)
730 * Added back the focusLast option (this controls what happens when you
731 change desktops and have followMouse on)
732 * Added an option to set which desktop to start on when you start openbox,
733 firstdesk, for example you might like to set it to 5 if you have a 3x3
734 grid to start in the middle.
735 * I think that was everything, have fun
738 * Added japanese translation (bug #1029)
