- remove internal labels, now tagging seems easy and straightforward that they
THINK: We'll need CreateTag, DestroyTag, UnfocusTag, FocusTag and the
event loop in wmiirc must be before TAGGING
can be externalized again
- idea for column mode:
*: is the current default mode with fallback (shows arbitrary clients)
0: is the current max mode, shows only one client at the time (same bahvior as current)
n: shows n clients, in stacking mode, using the selected client as center,
n == 1 is current stacking mode,
n == equal will use the center of (n/2),
n == unequal has always a center element.
- tagbars
- screen dimension rescaling if screen resolution changes (even with Xrandr)
- Xinerama support
- partly EWMH support
- libixp: idea from PoP: implement a va_args method similiar to printf for
marshalling 9P messages, might reduce LOC drastically
- remove the geom syntax as it is now (with the +- stuff, and only
allowing explicit coordinates, instead additionally resize
+/-<w> +/-<h> and move +/-<x> +/-<y> actions are needed in the
associated ctl devices of clients.
- add wmiir ls (read should have same semantic as in 9p), output without
details, add -l for details like in ls of Plan 9
- liblitz: window abstraction (creation, events), can be reused in menu and bar
and frames
ad new column mode:
