Hello Gustavo!
thanks a lot for the tips. i'm not a very experienced c programmer, and
also don't know a lot about X11 api or enlightement api.
About iconizing windows when they are focused, that it's useful for example
when you are working on a task , and want to check another window just for
a short moment. Then you click on the other window's icon and it becomes
focused. Then you click again and the window gets iconized and you are back
on your last window, that is the place you where working. Chances that you
iconize accidentally you working window are very low.
I'm now trying to understand why the configuration option is not saved.
The final module features as task manager mode should be something like:
Left click:
if window hasn't focus or is iconized then raise and focus (implemented)
if window has focus, then iconize (optionally people could be able
to disable this) (half implemented)
Left click and drag:
if drags inside the IBox then it's just arranging order of icons.
(not implemented)
if drags inside the IBar then add the icon to the IBar launcher (if
possible). (not implemented)
Right click:
Open menu with
a) the actions and options for the window (not implemented)
b) acces to shelf and IBox configuration (implemented)
c) option to add the icon to the IBar (not implemented)
Mouse Wheel:
Rotate between windows of the same class (xterm, gimp, etc...) like
engage did in the past. (not implemented)
I think that with all that we gonna have a simple but powerful task manager
