labwc 0.7.0
The main effort in this release has gone into porting labwc to wlroots 0.17
and tidying up regressions. Nonetheless, it contains a significant number of
additions and fixes as described below.
Should bug fixes be required against `0.6.6` (built with wlroots `0.16`), a
`0.6` branch will be created.
Added
- Support titlebar hover icons. Written-by: @spl237
- Add theme options osd.workspace-switcher.boxes.{width,height}
Written-by: @kyak
- Add actions `VirtualOutputAdd` and `VirtualOutputRemove` to control virtual
outputs. Written-by: @kyak (#1287)
- Teach MoveToEdge to move windows to adjacent outputs.
Written-by: @ahesford
- Implement `<font place="InactiveWindow">`. Written-by: @ludg1e (#1292)
- Implement cursor-shape-v1 protocol to allow Wayland clients to request a
buffer for a cursor shape from a compositor. Written-by: @heroin-moose
- Implement fractional-scale-v1 protocol to allow Wayland clients to properly
scale on outputs with fractional scale factor. Written-by: @heroin-moose
- Add ResizeTo action (#1261)
- Allow going backwards in window-switcher OSD by using arrow-up or arrow-left.
Written-by: @jp7677
- Add `ToggleOmnipresent` action and add an "Always on Visible Workspace" entry
for it in the client-menu under the Workspaces submenu. Written-by: @bnason
- Account for space taken up by XWayland clients with `_NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL`
property in the `usable_area` calculation. This increases inter-operability
with X11 desktop componenets.
- Set XWayland's `_NET_WORKAREA` property based on usable area. XWayland
clients use the `_NET_WORKAREA` root window property to determine how much of
the screen is not covered by panels/docks. The property is used for example
by Qt to determine areas of the screen that popup menus should not overlap.
Fixed
- Fix xwayland.c null pointer dereference causing crash with CLions. (#1352)
- Fix issue with XWayland surfaces completely offscreen not generating commit
events and therefore preventing them from moving onscreen.
- Do not de-active windows when layer-shell client takes keyboard focus, to
fix sfwbar minimize action. (#1342)
- Move layer-shell popups from the background layer to the top layer to render
them above normal windows. Previously this was only done for the bottom
layer. In support of Raspberry Pi's `pcmanfm --desktop`. (#1293)
- Calculate `usable_area` before positioning clients to ensure it is correct
before non exclusive-zone layer-shell clients are positioned or resized.
(#1285)
- Prevent overriding XWayland maximized/fullscreen/tiled geometry to fix an
issue where some XWayland views (example: xfce4-terminal) do not end up with
exactly the correct geometry when tiled.
Changed
- Treat XWayland panel windows as if fixedPosition rule is set
- Use the GTK3 notebook header color as the default active title color
(small change from `#dddad6` to `#e1dedb`). Written-by: @dimkr
