Rather than continue to talk in the abstract, I've
attatched the very preliminary patch I've currently
got. What it aims to do is that, in an Ion frame with
the tab-bar hidden, when that frame is unfocussed it
displays the title of the currently active client in a
minimal size window in the top-right corner of the
frame, and when the frame becomes focussed removes it.
(A screenshot showing this is currently at
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/dtweed/screenshot.jpg
which is probably clearer than the words. (Long window
on right is currently focussed.)) It doesn't attempt
to implement the feature hyper-efficiently (it doesn't
try to hide & re-use windows, just creates & destroys
them as needed), and at the moment it's got bugs like
keeping displaying the `old' title when the visible
client window vanishes whilst the frame is unfocussed.
And it'll probably only be of interest to a tiny
minority of people like me who has so many open
windows that standard tabs shrink incredibly small.
So, you're suggesting that instead of embedding
WInfoWin *tagOut within WFrame, maintain a dictionary
of some sort WFrame ptrs associating them with the
associated WInfoWin*, allowing refactoring into a
module? I'll have a look into this possiblity.
cheers, dave
