release of the tiled window manager . The i3wm project was created from scratch after a series of attempts to address the shortcomings of the wmii window manager. I3wm features well-readable and documented code, uses xcb instead of Xlib, correctly supports multi-monitor configurations, uses tree-like data structures for window positioning, provides an IPC interface, supports UTF-8, and keeps window styling minimal. Project Code under BSD license
In the new release:
- Added support for transparency in the i3bar panel (the "--transparenc" flag) and the ability to assign an arbitrary frame width;
- By default, the settings provide the launch of xss-lock, nm-applet, pactl (volume control keys) and use of the configuration file ~/.config/i3/config;
- Updated user manual;
- ipc uses a message queue and holds the sending of a restart command until the previous command completes;
- Fixed problems with i3bar when switching between desktops with a large number of windows;
- Implemented rendering of the left and right borders of the header in stack mode;
- Added items for using the screen recorder ;
- For correct handling of emoji in the title area when using pixel fonts, a partial UTF-8 to UCS-2 conversion has been added.
