Hi again, using this script in the preopenstack script, it is working, and allows minimizing from the taskbar: set the windowshape of this stack to 0 set the windowshape of this stack to 4475 set the decorations of this stack to "maximize,minimize,close" On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 11:26

I am able to do that. Specifically, if I have the taskbar list all icons side by side, then, if I click on the application, which is running from the 4.0 development environment, it will bring the application to the front. If I click on the application icon in the taskbar again, it will minimize t

Jonathan, are you able to minimize the stack from the taskbar? In my Q&D limited testing here, minimizing doesn't seem to work unless it's done from a script in the stack, and even then, the stack just hides. But it does get listed in the taskbar, which is good. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Di

I seem to have found a solution, although there is something that i am missing, because it usually works, but not always`. This is similar to what Andy did (thanks, Andy), but it is in the preopenstack script and changes the decorations and windowshape in script. This might work: *set* the window

Hi Scott, thanks for your reply. It makes sense, and I might do this. It seems so lame to me that we would be forced into doing this. It works fine with 2.6.1, so it should work fine with later versions. I'll play around with it and see if I can come up with a solution similar to what you describ

Hi Everyone, I am using Rev 4.0. When I set the window shape of a stack, thus removing the system frame from the stack, I encounter a problem. The stack takes on its new shape without difficulty, but it is no longer visible in the menu that arises when I use alt+tab to switch between applications
