Dogcows Code - chaz/openbox/blob - TODO

   1 Goals for future releases of Openbox (THIS CAN AND WILL CHANGE):
   2 2.0:
   3 * using std::string instead of char *'s. bool instead of Bool. proper consting
   4   everywhere where appropriate. unsigned ints where appropriate. etc.
   5
   6 * support for NETWM atoms
   7
   8 * separate Font class with support for Xfonts, xfontsets, and xft.
   9
  10 3.0:
  11 * Add XEventHandler class to make event handling better than ever!
  12
  13 * Crazy dope support for dockapps. Fully mimic window maker's handling of them.
  14
  15 * reorganization of class model. Add XWidget class (contains an X drawable).
  16
  17 * key/mouse/action bindings
  18
  19 * break the themeing into a replaceable plugin/script of some form and possibly
  20   also for the bindings.
  21
  22 4.0:
  23 * have plugins/scripts for most everything as deemed appropriate.
  24
  25 Openbox TODO list:
  26 * get translations for new NLS entries
  27
  28 * make Escape key cancel moving/resizing a window
  29
  30 * add asserts all throughout the code to catch bugs.
  31
  32 * make it possible to cycle workspaces by moving the mouse past the edge of
  33   the desktop?
  34
  35 * make the wheel mouse functionality optional?
  36
  37 * add a modifer key which will scroll workspaces with the mousewheel even when
  38   not on the root window?
  39
  40 * handle keyboard input natively instead of relying on an external program?
  41
  42 * remappable bindings for keyboard input and for mouse input.
  43
  44 * port bbconf to Openbox.
  45
  46 * add a close button to root/pinned menus?
  47
  48 * add atoms for most everything in the window manager
  49   e.g. add _BLACKBOX_STYLE and _BLACKBOX_MENU atoms so that bbtools, bbconf,
  50   etc. can get the current path to the style in use and menu.
  51
  52 * when workspace name is greater than the width of its text area the toolbar
  53   gets very ugly. I think what's really needed is a new toolbar entirely, which
  54   can let apps dock in it (these would, of course then, be very tiny apps).
  55
  56 * get translations of Openbox into more languages.
  57
  58 * window stacking layers (i.e. always on top/bottom).
  59
  60 * draw non-opaque move/resize frames using the style's borderWidth.
  61
  62 * suppert for XRENDER, and use it for making window decorations/menus/etc
  63   translucent.
