Bugfix: Fix resizing of floating windows in borderless/1-px-border mode (Thanks Grauwolf)
Calculations were wrong (they simply didn’t take into account that
there is more than one border style, the code was from before we
implemented that…). We cannot directly set child_rect to the coordinates
as resize_client takes rect and calculates the child_rect, so we need
the new lines of code for this bugfix in any case (rect needs to be
updated).
The welcome message is displayed using xmessage(1), not using your
terminal. Thus, it makes no sense to have this option anymore. Also,
the new lex/yacc parser cannot correctly handle the situation:
normal variables are expanded before parsing the file. As a replacement,
you can use:
set $terminal /usr/bin/urxvt
Bugfix: Fix NULL pointer dereference when reconfiguring screens
This did not happen all the time. It seems like you need to have a
container which is in stacking/tabbing mode on the screen which
is being reconfigured. (when doing xrandr --output VGA1 --off for
example)
Bugfix: IPC: Correctly handle the case when multiple messages get received at once via the socket
When the sending application was so fast (*cough*) that the messages
could get queued by the kernel, it may happen that we receive multiple
messages at once.
Bugfix: Correctly restore the focus to the root screen after unmapping the last client (Thanks Rasi)
Sometimes, it may happen that the focus is "nowhere" and thus the
user is stuck. This was often the case with opera, sometimes with
pcmanfm. See ticket #118.
Refactor workspaces to be stored in a TAILQ instead of an array
This fixes many problems we were having with a dynamically growing
array because of the realloc (pointers inside the area which was
allocated were no longer valid as soon as the realloc moved the
memory to another address).
Again, this is a rather big change, so expect problems and enable
core-dumps.
Bugfix: When rendering, skip containers which are not yet initialized
This is necessary now, because when creating a new row, several
containers have to be created. Since the implementation of the default
mode for containers, this also involves rendering the layout. However,
when rendering the layout, all of the containers are potentially
accessed…
Bugfix: Create new workspace when there are no free existing ones to assign (Thanks msi)
As the workspaces are now created dynamically, we cannot rely on
the workspaces to be there when we need them without creating them.
On the other hand, this eliminates the case that there are no workspaces
to assign to a new screen, because now we can just create one.
Implement modes. Modes allow you to use different keybindings and switch between them.
For example, you can create a mode which will let you resize windows
with some easy to use keys. So, instead of binding a combination
of your homerow and modifiers to resize, like this:
bind Mod4+44 resize right +10
bind Mod4+45 resize right -10
...
You can instead define a new mode:
mode "resize" {
bind 44 resize right +10
bind 45 resize right -10
...
bind 36 mode default
}
bindsym Mod4+r mode resize
So, if you press Mod4+r now, your keybindings will be set to the ones
defined in your resize mode above. You can then use your homerow
(without any other modifier) to resize the current column/row and
press enter to go back to the default mode when you are done.
Note that using this option requires you to enable the new lexer/parser
by passing the -l flag to i3 when starting.
Make number of workspaces dynamic (no longer limited by 10)
Warning: This is not yet thoroughly tested, so be prepared to
encounter some segfaults. Please enable logging and coredumps,
so we can fix bugs quickly.
Obey the client’s border_width setting (Thanks shatter)
xterm by default sets a border_width of 2. This was not taken into
account when determining the size of the window by i3. Still, you
probably want to set this to 0 in your .Xresources as the pixels
are just lost.
Bugfix: Fix resizing on second monitor (Thanks litemotiv)
We now use the virtual screen’s size/position instead of the X root
window for the grabwin (grabwin = the area in which the pointer may
move when resizing).
Implement stack-limit for further defining how stack windows should look
Using this command, you can limit the amount of columns or rows for
a stacking container. This allows for better usage of screen estate
when using stacking containers with many clients.
Examples:
i3-msg "stack-limit cols 2"
You will now have a stack window which has two columns of windows.
