-- TODO for Blackbox - an X11 Window manager
* i18n/l10n (translations) support, need something else that can
translate into either UTF-8 (needed for NETWM and Xft) or locale
(for Xmb).
* make sure transients are correctly associated at startup. this is
partially done by ensuring stacking order across restarts... we
might be able to do more, but it's not urgent
* session support via the X session management protocol
* re-add support for tear-off menus to bt::Menu
* see about supporting specifications at www.freedesktop.org (for
example, the basedirs-spec)... if the various bbtools also follow
this spec (read: add something to libbt), then sharing data/config
files is much easier
* the current style is stored only by name (not by path)... all styles
have to placed in some directory ($XDG_DATA_DIRS/blackbox/styles,
for example) in order for them to be found. The menu could
automatically search all $XDG_DATA_DIRS directories and build up the
style menu, instead of the user having to edit his menu file to add
new style directories... this also gives us the possibility of
defining a style "package" format
* similarly, all config files (the rc, the menu file, a style
"override" file) should be stored somewhere in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
* as mentioned above, allow the user to override anything in the
style... either in the rc or in a separate "override" style
* introduce the concept of actions. actions are things that the end
user can do, e.g. close, move, iconify, switch workspaces,
etc... these can be configurable with one or more mouse/key
combinations... when doing this, talk with vanR about the future of
bbkeys...
ADD: support user controlled window decoration
ADD: subdirs in stylesmenu/dir will create a new submenu
ADD: get volunteers to translate blackbox into other languages
ADD: a regression test suite
items to test:
*) toggle decor works
*) multihead
CHANGE: look into centering the window when maximizing and the window can not
grow to fill the area
CHANGE: move all of the fprintf() messages to a message function /
class. Something like message(WARN, "this is broken") and use
sprintf() to allow for printf() style replacements. This can
be set to go to stderr, a log file, whatever. It can also be
disabled for final builds.
CHANGE: use less pointers and more references
