Upgraded via AUR. Anyone know what the changelist is? Can't find one....more for curiosity's sake really, than a need to know.

From the CVS logs:

unmap windows after stacking. much better performance!
Clarify osx 10.5 build process.
clock_format for user definable time string.
CPU speed to baraction.sh [linux and bsd can't really use the same baraction, we've had this]

It has been a quiet three months.

Thanks! Not really finding it lacking, so not too bothered about updates. One or two of the patches in this thread would be nice, but not so much to the point that I'll patch, rather than stick with the main release.

Did anyone port the cumulative patch at #170 to 0.99.23? I really liked the colored bar and the floating stack.

patroclo7 · 2010-04-25 15:56:23

Ok, there was only an easy reject to fix, here it is:
http://archlinux.lando.imap.cc/scrotwm/aedit.patch

schen · 2010-04-29 20:50:27

Ok, I have two problems with scrotwm that are bugging me. First of all, I cannot find a way to put my statusbar on the bottom of my screen.
Also, I have a problem with my cursor like in this post, but I cannot find how to use the command that is the fix.

The bar can not be at the bottom, this is not configurable without patching the source.

Put the command in your .xinitrc before 'exec scrotwm'.

Is there a patch for the bar to be at the bottom?

What I meant was that there is an error when I run the command like this:

schen@sunny-arch> xsetroot -cursor_name <Vanilla-DMZ> left_ptr                                                                                                                                                                  ~
zsh: no such file or directory: Vanilla-DMZ

What is <Vanilla-DMZ>? The command is "xsetroot -cursor-name left-ptr", nothing else.

I am not aware of any patch for the bottom bar.

Ah, I see. Thank you!

keenerd · 2010-05-02 00:26:46

Looking into what such a patch would involve. The status bar is just another window like any other. Superficially, the bar_setup() function is all that needs tweaking. There is an X and Y macro that seem likely candidates. But I have a little paranoid thought that something somewhere assumes the bar will always be on top, and thus will break with it on the bottom. Probably an unfounded fear.

It is added to my list of patches to write, but I can't promise to figure it out soon :-(

If someone uses qiv here, will you do these to test:
1. Set the maximized layout.
2. $qiv somepicture
3. Press <f> button (fullscreen).
What will you see? Expected results: a picture in a full screen (mouse cursor like a cup). Actual results: terminal window with the current prompt ($qiv somepicture) and mouse cursor like a cup.

The second "bug" with qiv:
1. Set the maximized layout.
2. $qiv somepicture (where somepicture is a small picture with dimensions, smaller than your screen resolution).
3. Press any button (suppose, <cursor right>).
Expected results: a picture on a (black) background. Actual results: a picture, tiled on all the screen.
I suspect, a quirk is needed here. But xprop tells me nothing about a name and a class of the qiv window.

I must say, that feh, which is very similar to qiv, doesn't have both glitches.

Some questions:
1) Which values can take the option color-focus on scrotwm.config file?
2) Is possible to define a windows border greater than 1?

keenerd · 2010-05-13 11:01:26

virus_found:
It seems Qiv has no name or class. It just leaves both fields blank. This is a bug with Qiv. The fullscreen behavior in maximized mode certainly is odd. But pressing "f" in a tiling mode does work properly. Strange.

n0dix:
1) I'm guessing the names from the web color list probably work. But use the "rgb:XX/XX/XX" format for tweaking.
2) Currently, no.

n0dix · 2010-05-13 13:57:16

Ok, i have a problem with color-focus option. I change from 'red' (default option) to 'rgb:00/00/80', but the border line disappear. Here is my scrotwm.conf file http://pastebin.com/LgpS6eZz. I use the normal version and not cvs one.

n0dix · 2010-05-13 14:01:17

I found the solution . The problem was with a blank space after 'rgb:00/00/80 '.

If I float a window, position it to the right, then switch to a different workspace, or toggle the status bar (Mod-b), the floater is repositioned to the center. Did anyone notice this annoying bug?

Yes, and I fixed it too. See message #170 (and #232, thanks patroclo7). Unfortunately my patches have been ignored rather than applied.

Wintervenom · 2010-05-21 00:57:07

I am trying scrotwm-cvs, and I am not sure if this is me or if it is a bug:
I set the toggle float binding to [Super]-[b], and this works, yet, when I press [Super]-[T], it is still bound to toggle floating, even upon restarting the window manager.

Never mind; it was me.

unbind with: bind[] = <keys>

Somehow, I missed that bit in R-ing TFM.
Thanks.

Patching scrotwm-cvs fails with both aedit's patch and the prevws patch (switch to previous workspace with mod+a.) I combined the patches into one patch that currently works with scrotwm-cvs. Here it is:

Nice idea but I get 34 out of 36 hunks failed with your patch against cvs
Anyways there is nothing enthusiasming in CVS, while aedit patches are so nice (in particular borderless fullscreen and floating stack) that I can't understand why they get ignored. If there is no solid reason, perhaps a fork of scrotwm would be
a nice idea.
