Fix#7: Add "Other" catch-all category to the launcher. map_category() now
returns "Other" instead of "" for unrecognized .desktop Categories, and an
"Other" tab is added to the CATS list so those apps are discoverable instead
of silently hidden.
Fix#8: Respect ICCCM WM_NORMAL_HINTS. client_add() reads PMinSize,
PResizeInc, and PBaseSize from the window's size hints. The resize drag
handler in events.c clamps to min_w/min_h and snaps to the
width_inc/height_inc grid, fixing jank in character-cell terminal emulators
(xterm, Alacritty).
Fix#10: Optional freedesktop icon loading via imlib2. The launcher now
parses the Icon= field from .desktop files and attempts to render a PNG icon
from Papirus-Dark (or hicolor fallback). When imlib2 is not present the
existing letter-square is shown unchanged. launcher/Makefile auto-detects
imlib2 via pkg-config and sets -DHAVE_IMLIB2.
Fix#11: True 4-desktop support in the WM. Each Client carries a desktop
field (assigned at map time from wm->cur_desktop). Clicking a workspace
button in the deskbar sends _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; the WM now handles it via
wm_switch_desktop() which unmaps frames on the leaving desktop, maps frames
on the arriving desktop, and re-focuses. _NET_WM_DESKTOP is set per window
so the deskbar can filter db_update_apps() to show only current-desktop
windows (sticky windows with desktop 0xFFFFFFFF are always shown).
Fix#1: Replace hardcoded 185px deskbar-offset in client.c and events.c with
DESKBAR_W constant (200) to eliminate the 15px gap between the WM frame and
deskbar edge.
Fix#2: Add Shift+Alt+Tab reverse-direction support — grab Mod1+Shift+XK_Tab
in wm.c, detect ShiftMask in events.c, and implement switcher_prev() in
switcher.c.
Fix#3: Include minimized windows in the Alt+Tab switcher. swl_populate() no
longer skips minimized clients; swl_mini[] tracks state so switcher_draw()
can dim them with bracketed titles and darker card backgrounds.
Fix#4: Rewrite themes/picom.conf with macOS-inspired settings — 10px corner
radius on normal windows, 8px on menus, soft downward shadow (radius 18,
offset-y 8, opacity 0.35), smooth fading (step 0.08), no dock/tray rounding.
Fix#5: Add per-app right-click context menu to the deskbar. Right-clicking
an app row opens a popup with Raise / Minimize / Close actions (Close shown
in red). Actions are sent as EWMH client messages (_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW,
WM_CHANGE_STATE+IconicState, _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW) with matching handlers added
to the WM's on_client_message. Pointer grab closes the menu on any outside
click.
- Move traffic-light buttons to the LEFT side of titlebars (close/minimize/maximize)
in macOS order, using fixed left-pad positions instead of right-edge offsets
- Adopt macOS dark-mode color palette: #3C3C3C active titlebar, #2C2C2C inactive,
traffic-light colors #FF5F57/#FEBC2E/#28C840, near-black #1C1C1C desktop
- Center window title text in the titlebar (macOS style), clamped to avoid
overlapping the left button cluster
- Thin 1px window borders replacing the original 3px beveled border
- macOS blue (#4A90D9) selection highlight in the context menu
- Neutral dark context menu (#2C2C2C) with subtle separators and text indent
- Update README to document the ElemetryOS macOS fork identity and design changes
- Alt+Tab now shows a centered visual switcher overlay with window cards;
cycling with Tab, committing on Alt release, cancelling with Escape
- GTK3 and GTK2 themes rewritten in dark navy palette matching skywm/
skydeskbar color constants (was an off-brand tan/BeOS palette)
- Add alacritty to ISO packages with pre-configured dark color scheme;
update all menu Terminal entries to launch alacritty instead of xterm
- Add KeyReleaseMask to WM root event selection to detect Alt release
