The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: *** XtoW-20130802-1 *** libxcwm0-20130802-1 *** libxcwm-devel-20130802-1
xtow is a window manager using the libxcwm library, which is: * native: it integrates with native window management by putting each top-level X window in it's own Windows window (similar to XWin -multiwindow) * compositing: X windows with per-pixel alpha are composited into the native DWM desktop on Windows Vista and later (e.g. a native window can be seen through a semi-transparent X window placed over it) XtoW is still experimental, but should now be usable enough for doing some actual work. Testing and problem reports are appreciated. Changes since 20121220-1: * Window images are now transferred from the X server using shared memory when possible, which improves drawing speed measurably. This can be disabled with -noshm * XtoW exits cleanly when X server is shutdown * XtoW exits immediately when sent an unhandled signal (e.g SIGTERM from being ctrl-c'ed) * When X windows resize or reposition themselves, those changes are propagated to the native windows * Handle tilt wheel and renumber buttons to align with XWin -multiwindow * Implement iconic state. Handle WM_HINTS.initial_state on map and WM_CHANGE_STATE messages correctly * The active window is moved to the top of the stacking order to ensure it receives mouse events over itself (This is shortcut until proper Z-order <-> stacking synchronization is implemented) * Try harder to ensure newly created windows are at the top of the Z-order * Add -verbose option. Multiple -verbose options increase verbosity. * Lots of libxcwm cleanup, logging improvements, bug-fixes and refactoring * Fixes for x86_64 build Missing features compared to XWin -multiwindow: * You must manually use setxkbmap to set a keyboard layout matching the windows layout. * Probably lots more To use: * A startxtow script is provided, which writes a suitable xorg.conf, starts the X server, XtoW, xwinclip and a transparent urxvt. This script is intended to be temporary, to be replaced by something better later on... 32-bit: 74673adf7504f9c7c463e2760eb54d3f *libxcwm-20130802-1-src.tar.bz2 dc09df025e7bc1c6c2c4c0a05773840f *libxcwm-debuginfo-20130802-1.tar.bz2 6c9d5d4189f6aedb598c5f0aaaa8a40b *libxcwm-devel-20130802-1.tar.bz2 b504e1e2a35b5ed261948fd222c79778 *libxcwm0-20130802-1.tar.bz2 87ec6a8c0edf1db142676a3d085a89e4 *XtoW-20130802-1-src.tar.bz2 445379bb679c83d7a3976d974c1d203d *XtoW-20130802-1.tar.bz2 c51aaa365fc7bc3a6d5db1a332c6d90e *XtoW-debuginfo-20130802-1.tar.bz2 64-bit: d95f6482b93eb50a5fabec34721cbde7 *libxcwm0-20130802-1.tar.bz2 edec6064c8526cafe30c675bf13c0abc *libxcwm-debuginfo-20130802-1.tar.bz2 fd402a3380909866e7084c7297913efd *libxcwm-devel-20130802-1.tar.bz2 0851bffc634ba9ec651b0579f42329dd *libxcwm-20130802-1-src.tar.bz2 8d427629181968c6c113d738d187fd0d *XtoW-20130802-1.tar.bz2 309ae5649e80b1142ef096b5cd65bc80 *XtoW-debuginfo-20130802-1.tar.bz2 4d467a813653ffc8be0fb92bdb34a585 *XtoW-20130802-1-src.tar.bz2 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
