Description Rasmus Thystrup Karstensen 2010-04-26 19:30:23 UTC
new version of evilwm is out!

here comes an ebuild that compiles on my system. I know it is not correctly named , but this way I got it to compile (I'm not that experienced at making ebuilds).

there are some lines that I have left commented out for others to decide:
- 1st one changes location of configfole from $HOME/.evilwmrc to $HOME/.config/.evilwmrc -my personal preference
- 2nd one changes the the key-bind for max-horizontal from '=' to 'z' -again my personal preference
- 3rd, 4th and 5th apply som patches I have written, these patches should be applied in the order given, otherwise might fail!

1-focus.patch - fix an InputFocus issue I've had when switching deskops (the issue only occured when firefox and rxvt-unicode was inwolved).

2-vdesk.patch - add two more virtual desktops on key '9' and '0'

3-opacity-patch - add a feature to set window transparency through key-bindings.
this feature is not (yet) documented in the man page, but is simple to use:
altMask (default: ctrl+alt+shift) + [numeric key] -> '1' ~ 10% opacity (most transparent) ; '2' ~ 20% ; ... ; '9' ~ 90% ; '0' = not transparent.

Note_1: the opacity-patch don't have any effect without a composite wm, I use it with xcompmgr!
Note_2: the opacity-patch started from playing around with 'transset' by Matthew Hawn!


none of the patches have been extensivly tested, but it works on my configuration! any feedback are welcome.

Reproducible: Always

The patches are more of enhancements, and upstream is active so i'd rather wait for him to look at them first, and get them with _pre9. Afterall he's the best to review his own code.
