IceWM version 3.7.4 has been officially released, introducing several new features and improvements that enhance the user experience. This update integrates the X-resource library 1.2, which allows for more reliable identification of client window process identifiers within IceWM and its associated command-line tool, icesh. Notably, a new "toolbar" command has been added to icesh, enabling users to easily reload the toolbar. Additionally, a new -Z filter has been implemented to streamline the selection process for terminal windows.
The update also includes a variety of fixes, such as ensuring that client windows are restacked correctly after a QuickSwitch and modifying icesh to exit cleanly when interrupted, rather than entering a loop.
In terms of changes, users will now see an indication in the About window regarding SVG icon support, and there is a new fallback mechanism for global keybindings in cases where they may not be active. The system dialog has also been enhanced with a "Reload toolbar" button, and unmanaged frames are ignored when searching for a focusable frame. The default theme has been updated to "icedesert," and a new --replace option has been added to the icewm-session command for added flexibility.
Furthermore, translations have been updated and improved for several languages, including German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), and Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified).
In conclusion, IceWM 3.7.4 not only brings essential functionality and improvements but also enhances accessibility through better translations, making it a more robust choice for users seeking a lightweight window manager
