Are there any plans to do stuff with ctwm? What are the plans?
Some time ago, improving menu navigation via the keyboard has come up
on this list. A related thing would be to allow kbd shortcuts for
menu entries. (Currently, one can use the first character, but that
loses if there are several entries beginning with the same character.)
Maybe KDE or Gnome integration? Integration of a scripting language?
Another thing I could think of is changing the looks of the
decorations. Currently, the 3D borders have slopes on both the inside
and the outside. A visualization:
__ __
/ \ / \
---root-window---/ \---app-window---/ \---root-window---
border border
I hope you see what I mean. I like the following look, which has
slopes on the outside of the 3D borders only:
__ ____app_window____ __
/ \
---root-window---/ \---root-window
Also, what about changing the color of the titlebar buttons for the
highlighted window? What about having a solid titlebar color?
Say, I'd like my inactive windows to have grey borders and grey
titlebars with black text, and I'd like my active windows to have
light blue borders with light blue titlebars and dark blue text. (I
also use the 3D button pixmaps that come with ctwm, and it would be
nice to have these in grey for inactive and blue for active windows.)
Currently, the stipple pattern and maybe an xpm file is the only
possibility of changing the looks of an active titlebar. I think.
Sadly, I don't really grok X11 programming and thus I'm probably not
going to be very helpful :-|
