IceWM 3.6

Post by Zema Bus »

IceWM 3.6 is out today as the newest version of this lightweight X11 window manager.

IceWM continues marching along as a lightweight X11 window manager known for its extensive customization support. IceWM 3.6 adds support for composing characters in the address bar with the X input method. IceWM 3.6 also allows to double-click the border to maximize just that side of the window. The third new feature is allowing a double-click to restore that side of the window, including for corners.

IceWM 3.6 also has a fix to ignore duplicate requests from GNOME to move or resize a window. There is also a fix to restore the moving of windows by dragging with the right button down.

Various other small changes and fixes round out the IceWM 3.6 release. Downloads of the IceWM 3.6 window manager via GitHub.

I just upgraded that this afternoon, nothing changed for me. I won't ever see any defaults because I have my own configuration, I'm essentially just replacing binaries (and default stuff in /usr/local/share/icewm that is being overridden in ~/.icewm anyway). I'm glad that people are still maintaining X11 stuff. Xorg too is still getting work, if you ignore the trolls in certain peanut galleries. Sour grapes ignorami
