Been a while since I talked much about cvs here. 0.70 is moving along nicely. Brad just converted all of the code to his new menu interface. The code is much more lean clean but more importantly it supports keyboard navigation now. The menu must still be activated by the mouse (more on that some time later) but once launched the arrows keys and enter work as expected. This applies to ALL menus in blackbox.
Since all of the code gui elements are now in the bt library new enhancements will benefit the wm and the bbtools alike. Immediately this means the bbtool menus will also be keyboard navigable with no work from the coder. We are also working on updating the style definition. In the util/ directory is a program called bstyleconvert which takes an 0.6x style and outputs an 0.7x style. $ ./bstyleconvert foo Processing: foo $ ls foo* foo foo.70 the new file is stored in a .70 file so you can look it over, tweak it as needed and then remove the old style. A nice thing about this program is the style will now work with 0.6x and 0.7x because it outputs compatibility sections. The styles in cvs have not been updated yet, mostly because I know we are not done updating the style definition. This also means it makes sense to keep those 0.6x styles around a little while longer. netwm/ewmh support is now quite functional in cvs. Some of the functionality from 0.6x is not currently working however with sticky support being the most noticable. This is our next milestone. Note any bbtool which interacts with the wm -- pager, keys, etc -- do not work at the moment. Kennis and vanR are actively discussing the growth of the bt library so that work can begin on the reworking of these tools. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
