X410 version 4.0.1 fixes the clipboard sharing problems for non-zero display numbers
Fixed the clipboard sharing issues that occur when X410 is set for a non-zero display number.
X410 version 4 is here!
All new Settings window! It now has Windows 11 like user interface and colors.
If you have X-Window bitmap (*.pcf.gz) or TrueType (*.ttf) fonts that you want to add to X410, you can now simply add their folder paths in X410 Settings, i.e.,
Settings
»Additional Font Paths
»Add a font folder path
. Once they are added to X410, the fonts in those folders can be used by any X-Window GUI apps connected to X410.X410 now supports semi-transparent background for Linux GUI apps running in Windowed Apps mode. If you have a Linux GUI app that manages its own window decorations (ex. frame, close button etc.), you can also seamlessly enjoy its rounded window frame if the app supports it (ex. GNOME apps).
X410 started supporting a re-parenting window manager in version 3.8. In version 4.0, we have improved its performance as well as its compatibility. Just start your Linux GUI apps and enjoy them as you would in an actual Linux machine!
Indirect GLX is back! Nowadays even the software rendering engine for OpenGL in Mesa3D library supports version 4.x and it is very usable for most cases. Hence, we recommend using the Mesa3D library in its default settings. However, if you want to utilize the indirect or remote GLX feature of X-Window System, no problem! X410 now natively supports it!
UPGRADING TO VERSION 4
If you are currently using a subscription-based version of X410 installed from Microsoft Store, you do not have to do anything, Windows will automatically deliver the new version 4 to your computer. If you want to manually force the update, you can of course use the Microsoft Store app on the Windows Start menu.
If you previously purchased a perpetual license for X410 from Microsoft Store (it is currently labeled as 'X410 (Version 3)'), it will not be updated to version 4 as announced last year. But you should not have any problem continue using it as explained in the announcement; even though they have the same name, the subscription-based version of X410 is released as a separate product. For more information about installing 'X410 (Version 3)', please read the following post:
How to install 'X410 (Version 3)' from Microsoft StoreSince we now released version 4, there will be no major changes or updates to 'X410 (Version 3)'. But we will keep maintaining 'X410 (Version 3)' with bug fixes and minor improvements.
If you own a license for the Standalone version of X410, you can readily apply it to the version 4. Although a major version release is usually accompanied by upgrade options with discounts for previous version users, we have decided to offer the new version 4 free of charge to all the Standalone version 3 license owners. You can simply treat the new version 4 as a regular update and use your current license activation code.
'X410 (Version 3)' is updated to version 3.8.3
This update is released only for the 'X410 (Version 3)' owners who purchased a perpetual license from Microsoft Store before the subscription-based version was released. If you owned a license for 'X410 (Version 3)' and want to install it, please read the following post for the additional information:
How to install 'X410 (Version 3)' from Microsoft StoreWHAT'S NEW
X410 now restricts users from resizing a Linux GUI app too small while running it in Windowed Apps mode; its minimum window size is determined according to the properties set for the app by its developers.
Fixed the WSL2 IP detection problem when you have multiple ethernet adapters configured in a certain order.
Improved the stability of clipboard sharing; it should no longer be a cause for unexpected crashes or unresponsiveness in Linux GUI apps.
Having a keyboard input focus problem when you first launched your Linux GUI app? Update X410 to the new version 3.8.2!
There seems to be cases where Windows does not activate the newly launched Linux GUI app and set it to the foreground. You might need to click another window or desktop before you can set the keyboard input focus back to your Linux GUI app in such cases. The new version 3.8.2 addresses this problem, and you should now always be able to set the input focus simply by directly clicking on your Linux GUI app.
The new version 3.8.2 improves ensuring the initial visibility of your Linux GUI apps. For example, JetBrains Toolbox that places itself to the top right corner of the desktop screen should now properly show its window title bar as well as its full content even on HiDPI monitors.
X410 version 3.8.1 fixes multi-monitor related bugs and improves the popup menu management on HiDPI screens.
Fixed the popup menu and tooltip location problem when a GUI app has multiple tool windows across multiple monitors.
IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains products should now correctly restore their window layout even when you have multiple monitors connected to your system.
Improved positioning sub-popup menus relative to their parent popup menu.
Tall popup menus are now automatically resized to ensure their visibility within the current monitor. Please note that X410 can only resize the menu window; X410 cannot add a scrollbar or buttons for viewing all the menu items. But modern apps usually recognize the new size and automatically adjust the UI that allows accessing all the menu items.
