OTOH you get transparency with clickable areas only with * (except giant
icons of course, but what about program icons) and minimized windows
should be IMO always on bottom, just like desktop icons, anyway.
Here is a possible solution to pin anything to the desktop:
; my first attempt with dll-plugin, so be nice if I did mistakes
@PinToDesktop
Local _handle = ifelse(arg(1), arg(1), win.handle("under"))
Local _sddv = dll.call("FindWindowEx|i i s i",;;+
win.handle("c=Progman"), 0, "shelldll_defview", 0)
Local _slv = dll.call("FindWindowEx|i i s i", _sddv, ;;+
0, "syslistview32", 0)
Local dummy = dll.call("SetParent|i i", _handle, _slv)
Quit

Then again you'd need external programs for the shades. As I see,
FreeImage doesn't have fancy manipulations, and I don't think Bruce
would implement such stuff.

Speaking of snapping btw, I was thinking about something like the cool
drag'n drop organizing of thumbnails, as in the "customized Google home
page". And that would be impossible without MMV I guess. Or I'll do the
arrangement only after the mouseup, not during mousemove. Should be no
biggie.
Hmm.. Maybe I could use this for the normal windows, i.e. windows that
get out of the way and move themselves into an empty space if you move
other windows on top of them, so that you always maximize the desktop
usage. This could be a nice experiment in UI design, but it could be
also really complicated to check all those empty areas.
Thanks for the feedback and taking the time :)
Peace
