Well, offscreen to me just means "non visible but still available", so it didn't matter to me where the buffer actually is. But anyway, I say it: I meant both :) > > If there's any support for applications to get notified when they get > > "iconified", then the kgi case should be aliased to it, that is for the > > application it's actually the same thing.

Sounds right, and it's what I had in mind: as said I'd have one single "iconification" notify mechanism which both a windowed target and a full screen target could use to notify the application that it's not visible anymore. > BTW: Fabio: As you probably guess right, new members in our > developer team are always welcome! :-)) Well, I'm one of the main AROS developers (http://www.aros.org/), so my computing resources are devoted mainly to it. I'm also part of a couple more projects... not much time left, considering that I gotta run my normal life as well :) However if I happen to have some other spare time, I can contribute someting.
