It should possible to script this (layer2 floatws), but I have actually been considering a more proper solution (not fully floating, though), but that would involve client windows having ion-side background windows and those multiple layers of winow manager windows can confuse apps... It is also possible to move transients to top of the frame. It might already be in IOn2, but I can't unfortunately give you a reference now since I'm writing at about 1bps and not even close to a *nix machine. > This is not a window manager feature, but would still be great for ion: > A graphical configuration editor (where configurations and single > functions can be imported and exported, with lots of functions to choose > from) for all configurations. > I am definitly willing to help here as well as with a graphical version > (maybe we can use the engines from enlightenment, they've got pretty > cool effects).

Yes, add this to my wishlist to everyone else (in the same group with the fancy drawing engine). I'm personally not going to write such a thing, but it would be nice to have. -- Tuomo
