0.6 Added german translation Rewrote check to see if an option is set (Bugfix and code-cleanup) Added checkbox to workspace-menu to reset to default Added startMinimized-option Removed firstrun-wizard (unnecessary) Removed option to change winoptions-file (unnecessary) Bugfix: If a new windows was a substring of an already defined window (e.g. "chat" and "xchat") no option for the substring could be set 0.5.5 Unavailable options greyed out in the menu as long as no window selected Set --no-tag in first menu, so the numbers are hidden In main-menu, "choose a window" is now default if none is chosen, "General Options" if one is chosen. Menutitles shown in titlebar corrected Code improved (e.g. splitfunction) Cause defaults may change, all options of a menu a change is made in are written into the winoptions Bugfixes: If ~/.ice-win existed but no option in it, ice-win couldn't resume If there was a space in windows' name no option could be set

ice-win is a tool to control icewm's winoptions. The new version implements a german translation, code-cleanup and some bugfixes.
0.6 Removed option to change preferences-file (was unnecessary) - Removed firstrun-dialogue Now using IFS to split strings instead of own and complex implementation, should be faster Renamed Programs-menu to Commands-menu - Added ShutdownCommand - Added RebootCommand Added Xdialog's colordialogue Added german translation Added TaskBarShowCollapseButton-option Now using dselect, Xdialogs directory-dialogue, to select the IconPath/LibPath Bugfixes: - Fixed possible crashes caused by spaces in option- or foldernames - Fixed AutoRaiseDelay-dialogue (crashed) - Fixed MsgBoxDefaultAction-dialogue (did nothing) - Added Detection of missing "" by input-dialogues 0.5 Placed rangeboxes instead of inputboxes where it seemed to be useful. Backup now only at the beginning (by ice-prefer destroyed preferences shouldn't become the backup). Workspace menu detects how many workspaces are currently set. Window menu detects which options are currently set. Bugfixes: -No longer tries to write to /etc/ice-prefer/options. -Setting a value for "Snap Distance" no longer closes the program -Broken colordialogue fixed. -Add rescuestring, because ice-prefer won't work if preferences is empty. 0.4 status-messages deleted helpmessages implemented (taken from the manual, only changed to fit) Greeter (firstrun) implemented Option to select preferences implemented check if chosen image is really an image (bmp,png,jpg,gif,xpm) global directory introduced Bugfixes: -Timings/Taskbarmenu fixed -Current-status fixed (of options free to choose) 0.3 syntax-errors fixed merged all scripts into one, minimizing errors less options, especially: no PROGDIR-option, ice-prefer might be executed everywhere easier "installation" Windows Menus fixed 0.2 syntax-error in 'en' fixed Timings-menu fixed input may not be -z Workspace-menu written install.sh expanded

With the new version, ice-prefer is making a big step forward. Using the features of the newest Xdialog-version more intense, it is easier than before to select a background-color (with the new colordialogue) or to reset options to default (by activating a checkbox ). The unnecessary option to change the preferences-file manually has been dropped to avoid confusion. This can still be done by editing the options-file, but I can't think of a situation in which this could be helpful. Together with using the translation system, which was implemented long ago but never was filled with translations - before this release - ice-prefer is easier to use. The german translation is the first one available. Lots of bugs and sharp edges have been fixed, too.
