Site News :: DSL v4.2

@andrewb

Perhaps at one time the default behaviour for jwm was double-click-title for shading? I don't really know. But the default is currently maximize. While at friends and relatives over the holidays I saw that Windows double-click-title also maximizes the window. That seems redundant as there already is a button to maximize. Perhaps jwm, trying to emulate Windows, made that the default and did not update the website or documentation that you may have previously seen.

Anyway, I went into source and found where I could implement double-click-title to shade/unshade.

Since most of our users are comming from fluxbox and since jwm already has a button for maximizing, it seems like a good change for jwm hosted in DSL.

I have compiled in double-click on title bar to shade/unshade window for jwm.

It will appear in the next release candidate for DSL v4.3

Thanks Robert,

This is a welcome change for me as well.

I will likely issue a v4.2.2. I have been mainly addressing reported typos and bugs.

This way you won't have to wait until I get a sizeable change log worthy of a v4.3 to get this one new feature.

But here the mantra is "Small is Beautiful" or the more colloquial "Mine is smaller than yours! And I am damn proud of it!"

icewm 1,089,572 (includes icewm, icehelp, icewm-session, icewmbg, icewmhint, and icewmtray)
jwm 136,304

That makes icewm almost 8X larger than jwm. Plus the extra processes that would be needed for the extra ice... binaries.
