Just a cosmetic change as the variable is currently not in use.
According to the Motif Toolkit API and MwmUtil.h, the last long
variable from the Motif WM Hints struct is currenlty used
for the status.
This patch adds a new Central feature under the window menu
"Other maximization" entry.
Shortcut can be configured via WPrefs "Center active window" action.
When called the active window is centered on the screen head.
If the window height or width are bigger than the head size,
the window is resized to fit.
There are some transitions defined as below:
*from fullscreen to center
*from any corner to center
*from top half to center top half
*from bottom half to center bottom half
*from left half to center left half
*from right half to center right half
Undoing the action is done via the window menu "Unmaximize" entry
or the shortcut.
Add mouse pointer position detection to trigger the corner actions.
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.
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.
Hot Corners feature is disabled by default.
As discussed on the ML, the test to check for CARD16 limit is probably innacurate.
Check instead for maxH and maxW which are set by default to twice the size
of the screen or to the max values passed by the window normal hints property.
According to ICCM specs at [1]
*Not changing the size, location, border width, or stacking order of the window at all.
A client will receive a synthetic ConfigureNotify event that describes the (unchanged)
geometry of the window. The (x,y) coordinates will be in the root coordinate system,
adjusted for the border width the client requested, irrespective of any reparenting
that has taken place. The border_width will be the border width the client requested.
The client will not receive a real ConfigureNotify event because no change has actually
taken place.
*Moving or restacking the window without resizing it or changing its border width.
A client will receive a synthetic ConfigureNotify event following the change that
describes the new geometry of the window. The event's (x,y) coordinates will be in
the root coordinate system adjusted for the border width the client requested.
The border_width will be the border width the client requested. The client may not
receive a real ConfigureNotify event that describes this change because the window
manager may have reparented the top-level window. If the client does receive a
real event, the synthetic event will follow the real one.
*Resizing the window or changing its border width
(regardless of whether the window was also moved or restacked).
A client that has selected for StructureNotify events will receive a real
ConfigureNotify event.
Note that the coordinates in this event are relative to the parent,
which may not be the root if the window has been reparented. The coordinates will
reflect the actual border width of the window (which the window manager may have
changed). The TranslateCoordinates request can be used to convert the coordinates
if required.
In Window Maker, the first case is not implemented: doing a synthetic ConfigureNotify
to notify no changes were done. That's creating some issues with app like Citrix icaclient
when sometime windows are blank and need to be moved to be refreshed.

Align the old maximization descriptions to the new visual indicator
names. The internal shortcut names had also been updated, meaning a
reconfiguration of the shortcuts in WPrefs is required.
Since 48d4820dee the dock is positioned
dynamically based on the screen midpoint.
The side issue using such method is if in case the screen was temporarily
resized the dock as a chance to be displayed on the other side making
the drawer saved configuration from WMState esp the direction wrong when
wm is started again.
For example, the dock and drawer are displayed on the right of the screen.
Then the screen resolution is downsized temporaily to half or less of
the previous size. The position stored in WMState will be updated and the
direction of the drawer is still opening on the left.
But on next wm start, when reading the conf.
The position of the dock and drawer are corresponding to the
middle or less of the unresized screen. The dock and drawer will be sticked
on the left. But the drawer direction was not updated and still opening
on the left (which is out of the screen).
Several variable declarations were recently added immediately after
labels, but this causes compile errors in GCC versions prior to 11,
e.g.,
wsmap.c: In function ‘handle_event’:
wsmap.c:534:4: error: a label can only be part of a statement and a declaration is not a statement
534 | WMScreen *wmscr = wsmap->scr->wmscreen;
| ^~~~~~~~
We move these declarations to the top of the corresponding switch
statements so that Window Maker can compile on these older versions of
GCC.
When that option is on, swapping drawer does not always mean
swapping drawer direction. For example if drawer is on the left
side of the second head and moving to the left side of the first head,
the direction should be the same.
Commit 6e2075f3df from 2020 added
a feature to maximize window when double clicking on the titlebar.
But unmaximizing is not supported so when double clicking again
on the window titlebar the window geometry was not reverted back.
When the workspace pager is displayed it's showing grey mini workspaces
for non rendered/non visited workspaces. That patch is adding an exclamation
mark in the middle of the dummy grey background mini workspaces.
For some apps the background is not displayed properly, showing
some kind of shawow around the app icon like for example firefox
or skype. This is due to an issue in combining alpha channels.
This patch adds a feature to take screenshots directly from Window Maker.
Having the feature embeded direclty inside Window Maker allows us to take
advantage of how Window Maker is managing and handling Windows.
Three new actions can be bound to a key shortcut from WPrefs.
The screenshot files are saved in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Screenshots/
dir, with a "screenshot_%Y-%m-%d_at_%H:%M:%S" format followed by the
extension. Preferably as a PNG or JPG file if available.
Meaning, to work Window Maker via WRaster needs to support
at least one of those format.
"Capture the entire screen" is quite standard, it takes a screenshot
of the whole screen area (even in multiheads env).
"Capture a portion of the screen" requires the user to draw a rectangle which
will be captured.
Those two first are quite straightforward, just taking a live picture of
the screen.
The last one is "Capture a window" which works in best effort mode,
it catures the focused window. As Window Maker by default is not using
any compositor (like for example Xcompmgr) it can only dump the content
displayed on the screen.
If a window is minimized or out of the screen, there is high chance the
image will be split or some area greyed in case other windows overlapped it.
Whenever wtokensplit is used to split into argv/argc, it's better to
use the built-in function wtokenfree() as a wfree call only on argv
is not freeing the memory properly.
