no, but now we're back to the named actions, which is a good thing...
keybindings are stuck in /etc/wmii/rc for now.

The one thing I don't like is that ctrl+i and ctrl+e seem alot slower... which makes sense because the only one used to be mostly internal...

Dusty · 2005-03-19 20:43:30

Its till buggy/crashing, but I can see I'm going to like it eventually. I still haven't figured out all the damn commands.

Also, the new rc script opens an xterm and displays the man page the first time you run it. Except, you didn't include any man pages in the package this time.

Dusty

phrakture · 2005-03-19 21:49:59

huh? wha? hmmm... I didn't notice I had no man pages...

Dusty · 2005-03-19 22:02:21

I did. :-P

phrakture · 2005-03-19 23:44:20

ok, try again

Dusty · 2005-03-20 01:01:20

I love telling you to do stuff and it just gets done.

Ok, now courier me $10 000 US in unmarked bills. :-D

do you know how to do the repeat action a number of times (like 10 resize left), or has that not been implemented yet?

Dusty

phrakture · 2005-03-20 19:03:44

hmm good question... I thought that was supposed to be implemented, but I don't see it...

Dusty · 2005-03-25 00:35:19

Another snapshot made today. Get on it!

"definate" final release by May 1.

Hey... its looking pretty sharp now. It hasn't crashed yet. It sometimes misbehaves on keypresses, but no crashing. I think I'll keep using it for longer than "got it configured, not working" this time.

phrakture · 2005-03-28 18:29:20

I had mine crash, but X stayed up... it was real weird...
I couldn't do anything, so I went to vt2 (whatever) and ran "wmii &" and it started back up...

can't reproduce it either, but I got a good laugh out of it

phrakture · 2005-03-29 16:26:36

hmmm it appears the crashing (happens often) is from cairo... one of the pseudo-developers said "cairo is crap, I'd recomment the xlib backend"

would you have a problem with me switching it to xlib?

Dusty · 2005-03-30 15:38:01

I couldn't care less... are they gonna disable cairo altogether -- is it the cairo library, or their interaction with it?

Dusty

phrakture · 2005-03-30 16:58:17

it's that the cairo devs can't decide on a stable interface yet and the code has stuff in there to support cairo 0.2/0.3/0.4 - and it's in very unstable development - so yeah I'll recompile, along with the new wmizer tonight

Hmm, some of you hardcore wmii users should post some screenshots.

not much to see really... it's a usability thing 8)

miqorz · 2005-03-30 17:21:41

Yeah, but I like screenshots.

phrakture · 2005-04-11 16:30:55

updated - package in my repo

kipper · 2005-04-12 21:50:21

I'll check it out and see if I still get remote access errors.

Hey, that's pretty neat.

I just noticed my mode label was off in that screen shot... I set the Y value down 5 instead of the X value... heh...

I wish there was a way to remove that like 3 pixel spacing when you tile windows like that...

and it's still a bit messy when adding a new client to a frame, and the client tries to resize itself (i.e. adding xine to a fullscreen frame will shrink the entire frame down to the size xine wants to be). But then again, it's still a beta, and they know there's xine/mplayer issues, and some resize issues...

and the configuration sucks right now, so most of that is default (except the font... I don't like monospace... blegh)

Dusty · 2005-04-13 17:52:29

I'm happy with it for the most part. Been using it for a few days. Its a lot less buggy than previous releases.

I have one question. If I have a max frame, unlock it, add another client, lock it, split the frame... what commands do I use to move the split -- ie: to resize the clients. I've tried resize mode, but that resizes the entire frame. Any ideas?

Dusty

phrakture · 2005-04-13 19:40:26

If I wanted to make split adjustments, I just used the mouse... it was easier for me that way... 90% of the time I have less than 2 splits, so it's not a real big deal (I do side by side vertical terms for programming... more lines == good)

One odd thing (though it's good) that I found:
Check out the screenshot... the bittorrent client would try to resize itself when a torrent was added... so it would shrink that frame down to about 75% of what it should be... focusing the frame and maximizing it will maximize it within the context of that split... it's cool... so alt+m won't make it fullscreen.
