I just finished submitting the work that I've been doing on blackbox for the past month and a half (while I was waiting for shaleh to return).
Lots and lots of things have been happening, and lots of things have changed. I managed to touch every source file in CVS (except for lib/i18n.hh) over the past few weeks, and much of it was done by taking a rather large diff and submitting it little by little from a second source tree. As a result, things may have destabilized a bit, so be careful if you're running CVS or thinking about it. That being said, onto the good stuff :) The stuff that I have been doing has been related to many discussions shaleh and I have had over the last year. One of our goals is to support the extended window manager hints (EWMH aka NetWM). This support has come a long ways now, and it is actually possible to use the kde desktop and panel applications (kicker and kdesktop) together with blackbox. I haven't tried gnome, but it should be possible to use these as well. Also, sticky support is back in CVS, as well as the long desired always-on-top (as well as his brother, always-on-bottom). Smart support for fullscreen windows has been added as well. I've done a bit of work in the looks department as well, take a look at the screenshot at http://trolls.troll.no/bhughes/blackbox/blackbox.png to get an idea. Feel free to try out the code from CVS... if anonymous CVS isn't working that well (sourceforge is still upgrading their hardware as far as I know), you can snag a snapshot from http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/blackbox.tar.gz (or blackbox.tar.bz2 if you swing that way). I'd appreciate any feedback/ comments/criticism :) Thanks -- Bradley T.
