Well, I think you're either misunderstanding me or thinking of an old version that incorporated a "hack" that the compiz devs want to keep out of the current version.
To clarify, I'm not just talking about previewing a window when you hover over it on the taskbar (which I assume would be done by accessing a snapshot of the window), I'm talking about having the window continue to be drawn while minimized so that compiz can access it to use in other functions such as scale and switcher. (An older version did have a hack to do it at one point.) On 2/16/09, Tomas Carnecky <[email protected]> wrote: > On 02/16/2009 06:02 AM, John Hamel wrote: >> Interesting.
