Roadmap

This page contains changes planned for upcomming releases.

0.4.2

• Incorporate freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification for looking up icons. This will make it possible to e.g. call thor-cli -i"audio-volume-muted" rather than thor-cli -i"/usr/share/icons/gnome/256x256/status/audio-volume-muted.png"and will improve ease of configurability (want other icons? Just change the icon theme instead of every single script that calls thor-cli).

• Support quoting in rc.conf, so theme-names with blanks will be possible.

1.0.0

• Update the theme syntax for customized element positioning (see Issue #3).

• Introduce passive popups (aka poptards). This will naturally imply some other changes and additions:

  • Adding D-Bus interface and confining to the Desktop Notifications Specification.
  • As every type of specification might need separate themeing, a theme will not consist of a single file but of a directory with several files

• These changes will break current themes, a guide for migrating themes needs to be written.

Unscheduled

• Advanced multihead support based on XRandr and maybe Xinerama
• A new type of bar, consisting of multiple shapes being filled (similar to OSX)
