Fluxbox 1.3.0 Released

Fluxbox has had its first release since 2008. This release brings me much joy, as a Fluxbox user, it solidifies the point that Fluxbox is still being maintained upstream.


What is fluxbox?
Fluxbox is a windowmanager for X that was based on the Blackbox 0.61.1 code. It is very light on resources and easy to handle but yet full of features to make an easy, and extremely fast, desktop experience.


Here is a list of fixes / changes from fluxbox.org:



Added support for bidirectional text, #2801836.
Allow to override ‘Focus New Windows’ via .fluxbox/apps
New actions:
ActivateTab
ArrangeWindowsVertical
New ‘MoveN’ and ‘ClickN’ action support for keys file
New focus model ‘StrictMouseFocus’. This will affect focus when closing, moving, lowering windows, changing desktops, etc, whereas the ‘MouseFocus’ model will only change focus when you move the mouse.
New “background: unset” property for use in overlays.
Allowing relative paths for background images in style files.
Allowing matching screen number in ClientPattern.
Removed rootcommand from init, as fbsetbg is run automatically nowadays.
Removed line style resources from init file.
