  • Added support for unmanaged windows. Use "!", "!+", "!-" with setxwintype for "unmanaged", "unmanaged above" and "unmanaged below" windows respectively. This is generally a last-resort option for misbehaving window managers and causes GLava to bypass it. "!- will run GLava on the desktop on a variety of window managers that do not obstruct the root window. This (should) fix two issues:

    • Users who wish for GLava to appear over fullscreen windows can use "!+", as it is generally not possible otherwise, see #65

    • i3 users who wish to position GLava on the desktop with "!-", see #6

    it also may be possible to combine reparenting with unmanaged windows for some interesting configurations.

  • The bars module now has additional options, see #64

  • Default buffer sizes in the PulseAudio server are now used when reading audio input to reduce the chance of buffer overruns when reading from certain audio devices, see #63

GLava is also now an official Arch package (starting from v1.5.1), thanks to @coderobe!
