Release of a lightweight window manager . Noteworthy features of IceWM include full control via keyboard shortcuts, the ability to use virtual desktops, taskbars, and application menus. The window manager is configured through a fairly simple configuration file, and theme customization is possible. Built-in applets for monitoring CPU, memory, and traffic are available. Several third-party GUIs for configuration, desktop implementations, and menu editors are being developed separately. The code is written in C++ and is licensed under GPLv2.
Key :
- KeyboardLayouts configuration has been added to manage keyboard layout switching. KeyboardLayouts automates the switching setup via setxkbmap and allows you to specify a list of supported layouts in the form ‘KeyboardLayouts="de","ru","en"’ without manually calling setxkbmap.
- Focus is now retained on the application window when the window manager restarts, and the previous focus is accurately restored when closing the active window.
- An ignoreActivationMessages option has been added to ignore application requests for focus changes.
- Instead of calling the shell to expand file names by mask (for example, ‘[a-c]*.c’), a function has been utilized .
- A command for horizontal window expansion (Maximize Horizontal) has been added to the window list viewing interface.
- Detailed tracking of system tray operations has been added.
- Compliance with the XEMBED standard has been improved.
- The NanoBlue theme (Nano_Blu-1.3) has been updated.
