However, it *does* use a private API. Is there any way that a preference pane for Camino (which would remain stable between releases), can attach global application hotkeys to functions, with aaccess to the Camino window stack? Then I could write it as a prefPane, NOT to be included in the main distribution, but wouldn't have to either keep recompiling it into a custom build, or recompile the prefPane when the Camino-structure changed (assuming that there are such hooks).
Another interesting idea for such 'window hiding' would be to alter window translucence, or move them almost offscreen (like Expose show-desktop, but specific to Camino and specific window). This wouldn't involve any private APIs, but probably would be best in a prefPane as not everyone would want it. But that get's back to the 'pref-o-phobia' argument discussed a while back.
I should add, that, As Wade T. has said on his Discussions page about the 'Rotated Windows' application that the private CGS API is probably NOT going to change, since Apple obviously uses it in Expose, and might use it in more parts of the system later in the future. And as far general window transformations (with NSAffineTransformation), they've been doing that from day ONE with the Dock genie effect (which can be shut down, leaving a fully functional, though distorted window). But we don't know where those general warping functions are (time for classdump and otool..)
