I do not want to wait 3 years or more before to see colorset in
TitleStyle for a stable release. I do not believe on estimation about
fvwm code, I believe on written code (or on code that are going to be
written). At least 3 times "conditional style" stop me to implement
some stuff. Now I see that conditional style will not be in 2.6 (fine)
and that we do not have even style by Id (which is IMO a must for
2.6).
Moreover, I do not see the problem with the {Button,Title,Border}Style
commands. There are dramatically powerful (yes there are some odd
things, there are missing feature and yes I will add maybe some). The
only real pb I see is that they are not fvwm Style and this pbs is not
really a drawing pbs.
BTW, here my 2.6 todo list (optimistic).
- Colorset in {Button,Title,Border}Style
- A type of "gettext" support in config file
- Better key/mouse binding in the Pager
- minimal randr support (XFree-4.3 will have a functional randr for
resizing and rotation)
- Style by Id (maybe Dominik)
- Icon background (maybe Dominik)
- bug fix, testing, bug fix, testing, bug fix ........
I've no 3.0 todo list. I will begin to think to 3.0 when 2.6.?
will be released :o)
