PLWM 2.6a

PLWM is a Python package, containing classes suitable for implementing a window manager. PLWM is also a window manager, using the PLWM package. Whats New in This Release: - This is mostly a bug fix release, to get the latest set of fixes out the door. - Distutils is now used to build and install plwm. - We now require Python 2.0 or later. Python 1.5 is no longer supported. Mike Meyer (mwm@mired.org) is now administering PLWM. New mixin: mixer.py. - This is a new mixin for controlling the audio mixer. Currently, it only supports "rexima", but it should be easy to extend to "aumix" etc. Menu screen mixin is now configurable. - The menu screen mixin has been extended to use menu_font, menu_foreground, menu_background, menu_bordercolor, and menu_borderwidth when it draws menus on the screen. The default is 9x15Bold, black, white, black and 3. menu_seconds is the number of seconds the menu will be onscreen before it vanishes of its own accord. The default value is 0, which means to stay until a selection is made or the menu is cancelled. Message screen mixin is now configurable. - The message screen mixin can now be configured with message_font, message_foreground, message_background, message_bordercolor and message_borderwidth. message_seconds controls how long the message is displayed for, with a default value of 5 seconds. Screen.system now allows i/o redirection. - The Screen.system method now takes an extra argument, redirect. This argument should either be a single integer between 0 and 2 inclusive, or a tuple of such integers. These fds are redirected to pipes, and the resulting pipes are returned as a three-tuple. Supplying redirect implies that the command will be run in the background..
