I don't think that's a good idea. This just leads to the "Blackbox calls themes styles" behaviour: something that is called 'foo' in virtually all window managers has a certain behaviour. Only in blackbox, the thing that's called 'foo' does something else, and for the user to see the behaviour, she needs to use 'bar'. Shading is shading is shading and should not be treated as iconifying (even if it's recommended as an iconify-substitute, as BB doesn't have any "real" iconify, just "hide" or "vanish"). Just IMHO and my $.02 -Jan
