Add an 'iconify' gadget to CLI windows. I know there's at least one PD one out there, but it stuffs the resulting icon into RAM:.... I'd rather see it on the Workbench screen. Double clicking on the icon would open the window back up. yep. >3. Dispense with gadgets completely, and use keyboard qualifiers in combination with mouse button clicks (i.e. to move a window to the front, hold the shift key & click the left mouse button on any available portion of the window). This is the system used by uwm under X. It's completely user configurable via a config file. It's easier to just find a corner of the window you want to resize or whatever and click on it while holding down a ket, than to slide the mouse pointer on to a small (on interlace) gadget. Wrong! (at least for me! :-) - I've used uwm under X, I don't like it nearly as well, I can manipulate several programs using one hand under the current system - It takes two using uwm/X Bleah! How `bout this instead? Make standard windows check for an interlace screen and change the size of the gadgets accordingly? >-- >eric Murray IBM Advanced Workstation Div. {ucbvax,uunet}!ibmsupt!ericm 1510 Page Mill Road Palo Alto Ca. 94304 >Disclaimer: none of this represents IBM's Official Policy, etc. - griff -- * Richard E.
