Last I have checked, there are no decent NeXT-looking themes which would be unified for GTK2, GTK3, and Qt (I'd rather have all my widgets look like Motif, but have them all the same for all toolkits. Nah. Can't happen.). So, that side is lagging as well. On the other hand, I suspect it's far easier to rewrite the tools in GTK than add theming to WINGs. Both would take enormous amount of time for little gain. though. Other than that, I'd rather have proper XRandR support even before keyboard navigation. I use wmaker on a laptop, and it's a great pain in the butt every time I plug an external display in or out. When I plug the display in, I need to restart wmaker to have it acknowledge this. When I rotate the display, I need to restart wmaker to have it acknowledge this. When I plug the display out, I need to restart wmaker again – but also chase windows that were on the second head and now are out of reach. If I ever have a triple-monitor setup, I'm afraid wmaker is going to shoot itself. Also, I'm afraid I have no choice about on which head my clip and dock are going to land – the clip is always top-left, the dock is always top-right. If I have a monitor that tilts 90 degrees and gives me 10:16 or 9:16 aspect ratio, I'd prefer the dock on middle bottom. I hope that's possible some time before 1.0. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
