Goals for future releases of Openbox (THIS CAN AND WILL CHANGE):
-2.0:
-* using std::string instead of char *'s. bool instead of Bool. proper consting
- everywhere where appropriate. unsigned ints where appropriate. etc.
-
-* support for NETWM atoms
-
-* separate Font class with support for Xfonts, xfontsets, and xft.
-
3.0:
* Add XEventHandler class to make event handling better than ever!
* reorganization of class model. Add XWidget class (contains an X drawable).
* key/mouse/action bindings
+* handle keyboard input natively instead of relying on an external progra
+* remappable bindings for keyboard input and for mouse input.
* break the themeing into a replaceable plugin/script of some form and possibly
also for the bindings.
+* new sex menus (circular n shit)
+
+* window stacking layers (i.e. always on top/bottom).
+
+* add atoms for most everything in the window manager
+ e.g. add _BLACKBOX_STYLE and _BLACKBOX_MENU atoms so that bbtools, bbconf,
+ etc. can get the current path to the style in use and menu.
+
4.0:
* have plugins/scripts for most everything as deemed appropriate.
Openbox TODO list:
-* get translations for new NLS entries
-
-* make Escape key cancel moving/resizing a window
+* make moving/resizing cancellable with a binding
* add asserts all throughout the code to catch bugs.
* make it possible to cycle workspaces by moving the mouse past the edge of
- the desktop?
-
-* make the wheel mouse functionality optional?
-
-* add a modifer key which will scroll workspaces with the mousewheel even when
- not on the root window?
-
-* handle keyboard input natively instead of relying on an external program?
-
-* remappable bindings for keyboard input and for mouse input.
+ the desktop
* port bbconf to Openbox.
-* add a close button to root/pinned menus?
-
-* add atoms for most everything in the window manager
- e.g. add _BLACKBOX_STYLE and _BLACKBOX_MENU atoms so that bbtools, bbconf,
- etc. can get the current path to the style in use and menu.
-
* when workspace name is greater than the width of its text area the toolbar
gets very ugly. I think what's really needed is a new toolbar entirely, which
can let apps dock in it (these would, of course then, be very tiny apps).
-* get translations of Openbox into more languages.
-
-* window stacking layers (i.e. always on top/bottom).
-
* draw non-opaque move/resize frames using the style's borderWidth.
* suppert for XRENDER, and use it for making window decorations/menus/etc
