Hi Bruce, I'm working on this script: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/power-pro/files/0_TEMP_/ThumbMin.txt
If you minimize a window, this script should generate thumbnails from windows and show them as desktop buttons; something like this one here: http://pemarchandet.free.fr/fvwm/002/Artic_messy.jpg http://pemarchandet.free.fr/fvwm/003/Smokey_messy.jpg Yes, I know, it's pure, useless eye-candy, but every now and then even PP needs eyecandy. What I'm doing is capturing the screen with Irfanview, changing the canvas size with NConvert (*), saving it into a file, generate dynamically a bar skin, and add a button (tip: right-click to close the bar). So far so good. But even if the window contents change, e.g. I switch to another tab in Firefox, and call the script again, the bar's background gets not updated. I've tried using cl.redisplay, cl.refresh, deleting the thumbnails, editing the skin file manually and reapplying it, with no luck. I suspect bars generated with cl-functions cache the skin files and/or bg-images, is it so? Help file says bar.close removes bars completely from memory, so I assume it's not bar.close(). Btw, you'll find copies of Irfanview and NConvert in the same dir as the script, pls don't redistribute them. TIA, Cüneyt *: Does anyone have a single app for this? Irfanview can capture but cannot manipulate the canvas, and NConvert can do canvas but can't capture screen :( No, ImageMagick doesn't work (at least import.exe) under Windows without an X Server. **: Finetuning like positioning the bars on screen, overlaying icons is not done yet, so don't use it! Any ideas, improvements welcome. ***: I hope I've read the help file thoroughly this time. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
