Any other ideas ? Sorry about the slow reply to this message. I've been busy lately. I just added the PG_WP_MARGIN property for box widgets. By default the box widget gets its margin from the theme, but this lets you override it and specify the margin in pixels. > > > WindowManager: > --------------- > I really like the way picoGui handles multiple windows.

Just something funny I noticed- people always refer to the panelbuttons as close, rotate, and... um... that other one :) Officially the other button is called "zoom". It's hard to explain what it does. I'll make some ascii illustration: .-----------. | | C | | A | | | |-------| | | B | `-----------' In this picture, the areas "A" and "B" are application panels. "C" is the background. Clicking the zoom button for the "B" application turns the layout into: .-----------. | | C | | A | | |-----------| | B | `-----------' In the future the zoom button will also allow making an app fullscreen, but for now it moves the app higher up in the divtree. > and > the name of the application.

This could be an interesting alternative (or addition) to the zoom button. When you choose another app from the bar, the two apps switch positions.

If you set an event handler for the PG_WP_CLOSE event, you can display this dialog box. Returning '1' from an event handler prevents processing any further handlers for the event. Since exiting on close is a built-in event handler, returning 1 will prevent closing the app. > > > Thank's in advance for any help.
