You didn't say which OS you are on - I guess maybe MS Windows?

Well, I think this isn't really the "approved" MS way any more - if you
run a MS app, e.g. Excel, you will find that you get one taskbar icon
per window. Or at least, I do on this machine here running XP (whereas
with the previous win2k OS I only got one excel taskbar button for
multiple windows.) But that may be local settings differences, or a
different version of excel...


> Is it possible to disable taskbar appearence for specific windows?

Yes - but not directly via fltk. You need to change the window
attributes to tell the win32 window manager that your window does NOT
want to appear in the taskbar.
The code to do this is pretty straightforward, but is so OS specific
that I don't think fltk provides a wrapper for it.
The only exception (I think) is if your subsidiary windows are modal
for, or non-modal for, your initial parent window. In that case, I
*think* fltk will suppress these windows from appearing in the task bar
automatically for you.
