When combined in a <code>switchkey<\/code> definition, the pair lets power users call up a tidy QuickSwitch menu that lists only the windows they\u2019re interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, v3.8.2 packs in several polish points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Menus stay on-screen even when they spawn near a monitor\u2019s edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximized windows now resize correctly when a panel or dock disappears and the work area suddenly expands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>_NET_WORKAREA edge cases are tamed. Whether a \u201cdo-not-cover\u201d window closes or is simply dragged around, IceWM recalculates the available desktop real estate on the spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, in IceWM 3.8.2, icesh\u2019s <code>-Zerminal<\/code> filter now works on the BSDs and other non-Linux flavors. Plus, desktop icons also follow the rules: change the work area, and every icon scoots into place instead of overlapping a panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ice-wm\/icewm\/releases\/tag\/3.8.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see the changelog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IceWM 3.8.2 window manager for X Window System adds a new \u201cswitchmenu\u201d icesh action, improves window switching, and brings various bug fixes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":180893,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5],"tags":[5882,5561],"class_list":["post-180890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","category-news","tag-icewm","tag-window-managers"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
