<<< Some of the things (in very short form) that need to be done to E17... (These are in no particular order) >>> [[[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUGS / FIXES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * BUG: ghost windows happen if windows close when on another desktop or if windows are very short-lived * BUG: k3b has minimization issues when burning cds (it tries to unminimize its window and this doesn't work) * BUG: openoffice 2 when displaying a presentation with xinerama (multiple zones) weird things happen (the presentation doesnt display - it seemingly attaches to the 2nd zone, not the first), crashes have been reported too. * BUG: dnd icon from window that has no .eap defining its icon to ibar and the ibar icon ends up blank (can't build .eap from ARGB pixels) * BUG: modules need to destroy config dialogs on shutdown (otherwise - segv!) * BUG: xdaliclock -transparent doesnt use shaped border (not handling shape change later) * BUG: if a user selects a border the border should not just change based on properties. if user selects a border in border selector, then lock border * BUG: if you iconify a window and while iconified the window unmaps (rhythmbox does this a lot apparently) e doesnt realize and still thinks it's iconified. * BUG: in general fullscreen needs work, cleaning and testing. dont allow desktop switches for the desk a fullscreened window is on, nor allow windows to be raised above the fs win etc. ie the app must seem to be entirely fs for that zone. * BUG: if you have 2 zones and you fill up zone 2 (right) mostly and then run a big xev (xev -g 1280x1024) that won't fit it gets placed offscreen to the right of zone 2 * BUG: Hiding the label of e_widget_slider causes the slider line to disappear ]]] [[[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESSENTIAL FEATURES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * language packs: need to have a tool to load/setup a language pack (which means .mo compiled files from a .po, an optional font and a config file that specifies the locale and font) and then install the font(s) either as a user or superuser, and the .mo in the system or a user locales dir. * finish off icccm support * finish complete netwm support * add a "taskbar" module * add cpu load module * add a way to access "all" apps app dir * add setup/install wizard to seed eap files etc. etc. * support color classes * add clientinfo pane/popdown for borders * gui config dialogs for all config * make it possible to disable border buttons/actions (tell theme what is disabled) * shelf gui config is ugly and badly arranged * ibar should support creating and deleting bar dirs * ibox labels need to be optional * ibar labels need to be selected (name, generic, etc.) ]]] [[[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLEANUPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * EAP cache files can be hit and miss and have problems. move things to be explicit reloads. * winlist should support place for window "screenshot" in list as well as app icon * winlist could divide windows up into blocks - sub-lists within a container per desktop (with stick windows considered to live on the "current" desk when winlist starts) * make it easy for modules to hook into ipc and extend it for themselves * module api needs to move label and icon to data file (.eap file?), not api * allow object paranoia to be a runtime option too ]]] [[[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "NICE TO HAVE" FEATURES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * ibox should have options "Show from this desktop", "Show from all desktops", "show from zones", "show from this zone", etc. Similarly to those, that are in winlist. * winlist and exebuf can let the mouse select items * option to NOT raise on focus in click to focus * switch to desktop of a new window if it opens on another desktop than the current one * emit signal to submenu entries if they have a submenu shown for them or not * tip/hint/suggestion dialog * add tooltips * add locale and encoding fields to eapp files (to launch eapp in that locale+encoding) * add input method selector stuff to eapp - same as locale * setup configs for gnome and kde (as options) if they are installed (eg run gnome-settings-daemon). * check engine can work on a given screen before using it * non opaque move/resize * add "osd" subsystem for things like volume controls on keybboards, etc. that overlay the screen * file icons on the desktop (people ask for it) - xdnd for these * a "togglelist" widget (a scrollable list of items where u toggle each of them on or off - much like ilist, but with a checkbox) * "disable this gadget" menu option on gadcon clients * improve drag/resize of gadget items * pager should be able to be configured to control more than the current zone (select which zone they control) ]]] [[[ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPTIMISATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * optimize clock theme (speed/cpu) (rotation in edje??? or evas???) ]]]
