Release notes posted:

Window Maker 0.96.0 was released on August 5th 2023

Screen corners can be assigned an external command to be executed when the mouse pointer is entering those areas. In WPrefs, �Hot Corner Shortcut Preferences� can be used for configuration or by manually adding a �HotCorners� key and value to �YES� in the ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file. Hot Corners feature is disabled by default. Actions are specified by the �HotCornerActions� and are defined as a four entries list (�top left action�, �top right action�, �bottom left action�, �bottom right action�). A screen corner area is a cube shape defined by the �HotCornerEdge� which is a number of pixels from 2 (by default) to 10. To lower the risk of triggering that feature accidentally a �HotCornerDelay� key can be used which is the time before the action is triggered while the pointer is in one of the screen corner. Default value is 250 ms.

In WPrefs �Keyboard Shortcut Preferences� tab, three new actions can be configured: �Capture a portion of the screen�, �Capture a window�, �Capture the entire screen�. The file is saved in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Screenshots directory under a filename format �screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S� followed by the extension. Which can be png or jpg based on WRaster dependencies.

libXRes is now an optional dependency. XRes the resource extension for the X protocol is used to find the underlying processes (and PIDs) responsible for displaying the windows.

Support for _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS hint. That hint allows applications that support it to be set as fullscreen on multiple heads. It depends on Xinerama extension support.

To keep the dock on the primary head in a multi-head setup, set the option �KeepDockOnPrimaryHead� in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker to �YES� or click �Keep dock on primary head� under the WPrefs �Expert User Preferences� tab.

Wow! Now my desktop is a lean, mean, window-makin' machine! Can't wait for 1.0!

Everybody post your badass workstation setups!

Is this post supposed to be here or is this that weird glitch I read about in the mod forum that takes a post meant for, maybe SHSC in this case, and randomizes its end forum location to something completely unrelated?

Because let me tell you, GBS is exactly where I go to find the latest news and updates for Linux GTK themes.

we really should go back to basic window managers like this. i remote into or run in a vm modern linux distros (mostly red hat enterprise and ubuntu) for work occasionally since some of our vendors deliver stuff that way instead of just using docker or whatever, and it's incredible how bad and clunky the default desktop environments are. significantly worse than the barebones stuff that existed 20 years ago.

a hot linux desktop summer is never gonna happen at this rate

The hell is even the point of desktop wallpaper? If you�re busy doing computer stuff you can�t see it anyway and even when you�re not doing computer stuff it�s covered up by all of the individual files stored on the desktop where they belong.

Yeah I mean it's always so easy to access poo poo on the desktop from a super logical file path, something like /linux/buildversion/7.3882/users/NanoDeGallo/my3Ghotspot/userpaths/archives/desktop.current/filetopper/wallpaperinstallerlayer/userfilesNanoDeGallo -list

rather than like, /userfiles #whoami
