How exactly does this IconBox work? You like drag the window into it? Could be a fun project to work on for Windows.  I was already planning on making a replacement taskbar when I get a bit better at C (made one in VB, slow as hell of course  ), it could be neat to include some of these other styles as well.The menu in BlackBox... I assume it's just like a really small taskbar, that instead of showing the windows in it, you click it and get a menu of them? I can see that being useful... |

Generally speaking, sending something to the iconbox works just like minimizing it in Windows. You click the appropriate icon on the window's title bar (or select the appropriate option from the menu you get when right-clicking the title bar), and there it goes. Xfce can be configured so you can minimize a window by double-clicking the title bar, too. I wouldn't be surprised if Litestep has an iconbox feature...but it would be nifty to be able to replace the taskbar with one without having to install an entirely different shell.  Minimized applications in Blackbox are accessed through the Workspace List entry of the root menu. Middle-clicking on the desktop brings up the workspace list by itself. (Interestingly enough, I just discovered that middle-clicking does the same thing in Xfce as well!) I forgot to mention that many window managers allow you to shade windows, which works just like the shade feature in Winamp. This is another method of saving screen real estate and temporarily getting things out of the way. |

| I was actually planning to try to make a simple shell replacement, but I also intend to release the components separately for those who only want to change the taskbar/file browser/whatever. (You'd still have the original shell running, just with its taskbar hidden and a new one in its place, or a different program associated with folders, or whatever.) That probably won't be for a while, though. As far as various buttons for shading, minimizing to an icon box, etc, I might look into hooking the titlebar drawing code to put extra buttons on (user chooses which, and all options are also available from the context menu), if not it'll probably just be a hacky kinda one like the program I made before. (Come to think of it, those could be some cool features to add to it. ) |
