timestamp. An example usage is to create animated effects,

anymore.

detect fullscreen windows as well. You can turn it off with
--no-ewmh-fullscreen
* Various improvments to the inverter.sh script
* wintype notify has been renamed to notification to match the
EWMH names. (Old name still works)

restarts.

scratchpads losing transparency after restarting i3
