This page lists patches which should be at some point written or harvested from webpages scattered around the net (and probably cleaned up).

If you know that there are some patches somewhere on the web, just waiting to be added to sawfish - please add info about them here. Even better - submit them as a patch against latest sawfish release.

[edit] Viewports

People liked using viewports, so removing them from the interface around v1.0.1 was pretty nasty. We need some patch that will add them in some sane way. There are few places to start from:

1. this post attempts to explain how to put them back.
2. this archived page has further explanations. In case if it disappeared from archive.org, here's a backup copy

Until a patch is available which will undeprecate viewports, the only way to enable bindigs for viewports is by running (either inside sawfish-client, or from within ~/.sawfishrc):

(setq customize-command-classes '(default viewport deprecated))

[edit] Transparency

There is some uncommitted patch to sawfish which enables XComposite handling. We should be investigating that. And perhaps add this in some future releases. See also Composite in development section.

[edit] Sawfish-UI

[edit] Split theme menu by first letter, if many themes to show

For users who have many themes it installed it would be an improvement, when the Themes-list would be split if (themes-amount) > (max-themes-to-display-at-once).

Example:

|_____________________|
| <b>A</b>            |
| A Theme             | 
| A2 Theme            |
| <b>B</b>            |
| B Theme             |
|_____________________|

and so on.

[edit] Sawfish-UI gets confused when restarting Sawfish while running it

When you run sawfish-ui and restart sawfish while using it, sawfish-ui does not apply changes anymore, until you restart it.

[edit] Sawfish-UI does not list some placement modes

Placement modes not listed:
