BUGS / FIXES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* e_hints.c manually changes flags on a border isnetad of calling
|
|
e_border_stick() for exampe or the calls in e_border.c - add calls as needed
|
|
to e_border.c. before calling check the lock flags too.
|
|
* 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: on font apply borders need to be adjusted for size changes
|
|
* BUG: if i downclock my machine to like 400mhz (make it sloooow) or load it
|
|
down with lots of load and then hold down ctrl+alt+right for a while
|
|
windows on desktops vanish... there must be a race condition with a
|
|
map/unmap event and something else... they still are around in x- just e
|
|
hides them and never shows them again
|
|
fullscreen. is this correct?
|
|
* BUG: client windows list somehow doesn't unref its list of borders in the
|
|
free callback set on it. why? is this callback never called? or is the
|
|
data pointer on the menu object null for some reason?
|
|
* BUG: if you have 2 zones and you fill up zone 2 (right) mostly and then run
|
|
a big xev (xev -g 1280x1024) that wont fit it gets placed offscreen to the
|
|
right of zone 2
|
|
* BUG?: pager problems. Seems to loose or mess up windows sometimes.
|
|
* BUG?: xine's ui window/panel is under its video window when u go fullscreen

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* support xrandr to change res from e itself (and save it etc.)
|
|
* emit signal to submenu entries if they have a submenu shown for them or not
|
|
* add window placement options like place at pointer
|
|
* shaded windows should not allow border changes by the user
|
|
* if a border is borderless it should not be allowed to be shaded (padl/r/t/b
|
|
is 0)
|
|
* add fullscreen support (e16 xvidmode or xrandr style)
|
|
* implement thees maximise/fullscreen modes:
|
|
Which of these should be different modes, and which should be options for
|
|
a mode? i think they all should be distinct actions of their own bound
|
|
to a key, button etc. which one of these the maximize button on a window
|
|
will execute should be a configuration value though :)
|
|
1. fullscreen (no border - resizes to default screen res). window is locked,
|
|
no mouse bindings work. any focus change out of thsi window will go out of
|
|
fullscreen mode
|
|
2. zoom (changes screen res to match window, or closest res thats bigger
|
|
than the window, centers it - no borders/title etc). window is locked, no
|
|
mouse bindings work. any focus change out of thsi window will go out of
|
|
zoom mode
|
|
3. maximise (only title is displayed - program fills the rest of the screen)
|
|
disable resize, shade, move etc. in this mode. iconify is ok.
|
|
4. maximise2 (maximise window up to the edge of panels, gadgets etc. -
|
|
disable all resizing and moving just like 1, 2 nd 3 (maybe make border
|
|
thinner to indicate this). disable stuff like 3.
|
|
5. expand (just resize window to fill the same space as 4. - but it still can
|
|
be shaded, resized, moved etc.)
|
|
6. fill (expand to the nearest window edge or screen edge)
|
|
for 5 and 6 u want to able to do this independently for width and height as
|
|
well as for both at once. for 1. & 2. if window max size (or aspect
|
|
adjusted size) is smaller that screen max size, fill in space in between
|
|
with black. for 3. we want to fill the inbewteen space with some theme
|
|
defined image data
|
|
* implement a better dialog for things like "do you want to do X - yes or no?"
|
|
* dialogs for generic contents too
|
|
* netwm window types and states need addressing (do special/appropriate things)
|
|
for each of them.
|
|
* netwm frame extents request (_e_manager_cb_frame_extents_request) needs
|
|
to properly choose the border based on client window properties.
|
|
* do something with the icccm urgency field hint
|
|
* different borders for non-resizable windows, shaped windows etc.
|
|
* break out ipc to set names for desktops (and get names/list them)
|
|
* some sort of gui display of a desktop name (in the pager?)
|
|
* window icons should be able to be chosen if e eapp icon overrides netwm
|
|
icon or the other way around (and remember this).
|
|
* transients should have option to always follow parent
|
|
(move/resize/raise/lower) (and remember this).
|
|
* actions to make current zone different (warp mouse to there)
|
|
* actions to make the current container different
|
|
* titlebar/border expansion/gadget panel for modules to put window widgets in
|
|
* break out desks x/y size config so you can have a different desktop size
|
|
per zone - right now there is a signle global (use this later as the default
|
|
for new/unconfigured zones)
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* all menus need icons if they dont have them yet:)
|
|
* gadman edit mode for simple gadgets activate with a button bind (eg
|
|
alt+click on module like windows) or a pure key binding
|
|
* gadget containers (shelves?) using popups as well as in-line in a canvas
|
|
* add key input focus control for desktop modules
|
|
* finish off icccm support
|
|
* finish complete netwm support
|
|
* make the cursors an edje buffer canvas for changing cursor depending on
|
|
context
|
|
* different cursors for different parts of the screen
|
|
* add a "taskbar" module
|
|
* add cpu load module
|
|
* add a way to access "all" apps app dir
|
|
* ibar need to handle drop from other places (xdnd, drop from window etc.)
|
|
* dnd from pager to other pagers/ to desktop/ibox etc.
|
|
* ibar should enable user to select different dirs to view per bar and allow
|
|
new bars to be created or bars to be deleted
|
|
* ibar need to support label pop-ups
|
|
* ibar should support subdirs with pop-up icons...
|
|

|
|
properties
|
|
* add window glueing <rephorm AT rephorm DOT com>
|
|
* add setup/install wizard to seed eap files etc. etc.
|
|
* support text and color classes

|
* add clientinfo pane/popdown for borders
|
|
* add sliders, radio and check buttons for clientinfo pane
|
|
* make xrandr support get rotation and store it
|
|
* add separate app menu bars at top of screen support
|
|
* add really nice "about" box with theme, authors credits list etc etc.
|
|
* gui config tools for bg's, keybindings, etc. etc. etc.
|
|
* "control panel" app to launch the gui config tools
|
|
* make it possible to disable border buttons/actions (tell theme what is
|
|

|
|

|
|
* remove module config menus (make them part of the module control panel etc.)

CLEANUPS
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* winlist should support place for window "screenshot" in list as well as
|
|
app icon
|
|
* winlist should in theory allow horizontal list layout not just vertical (set
|
|
by the theme)
|
|
* winlist could divide windows up into blocks - sub-lists within a container
|
|
pwer 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
|
|
* gadman needs some changes to virtualise the canvas/container the gadget
|
|
ends up in (eg in popups or border)
|
|
* perhaps we should split focus and "selected" windows. selected window is
|
|
what ocused is now and focus is something only affectinbg keyboard input. if
|
|
the focus window becoems another managed window it becoems the selected
|
|
window - otherwise click to focus or pointer focus will chose the selected
|
|
window that may get the focus if it allows it...
|
|
* module api needs to move label and icon to data file (.eap file?), not api
|
|
* make e17 re-locatable (ie use e_prefix.c stuff instead of #defined paths)
|
|
* ibar lamp needs short timer on mouse out for hide before hiding (and del
|
|
the time on mouse in)
|
|
* allow object paranoia to be a runtime option too
