- printStringXMF: use the background color for XFT fonts too
- textWidthXMF now returns the text width even with xft fonts
- textExtentsXMF will now return only the ascend and the descent of a
string.
- stringPosition now takes the display too
- add support for UTF-8 locales: if the contrib library is compiled
with the 'with_xft' or the 'with_utf8' option the prompt and the
decoration system will support UTF-8 locales - this requires
utf8-strings.
It is now possible to get "live" status updates while the gesture handler
is running. I use this in my xmonad.hs to print the current gesture to my
status bar. Because collecting movements is now the callback's job, the
implementation of mouseGestureH got quite a bit simpler. The interface is
incompatible with the previous mouseGestureH but the old mouseGesture
function works as before.
Now, instead of writing out incredibly dull things like
((modMask conf .|. controlMask .|. shiftMask, xK_F2), ...)
you can just write
("M-C-S-<F2>", ...)
Hooray!
Key binding and ManageHook to pop up a small, floating terminal window for a few quick commands.
Combined with a utility like detach[1], makes a great X application launcher.
Requires my two new ManageHooks (doRectFloat, specifically).
[1] http://detach.sourceforge.net
Adds doRectFloat, which floats the new window in the given rectangle; and doCenterFloat, which floats the
new window with its original size, but centered.
- fix a bug reported by Roman Cheplyaka: when decorate returned
Nothing the window was never going to be created, even if decorate
was reporting a Just Rectangle in the next run. Quite a deep issue,
still visible only with TabbedDecoration at the present time.
- remove decorateFirst (decorate has enough information to decide
whether a window is the first one or not, am I right, David?)
- some point free.
