that's exact my optinion. for limited devices (and perhaps for ppl with limited capabilies) it could be useful, but for a (my) workstation, it's more limiting than helpful. Because 5-10 Windows are the least i have open, mostly it are more and it would drive me nuts, to just see one window at a time. but hey, if it's a pluggable module, why not... but to keep the ideas flowing: how about some mouse-gesture-feature? i'm working with a 3200x1200 resolution and sometimes it nerves to push the mouse from one to end the other end. a quick mouse-gesture could help there (normally i use the keyboard for such things, but sometimes i'm too lazy to change from mouse to keyboard and there it could be helpful.) i'm thinking, for example, about the middle mouse button on the desktop to see the window-list. what if both screens are full? then u first have to shade or iconize one window, use the window list, then reget your window. with mouse-gestures, one could simply hold the right button to enable MG and then draw a short line, which would open the window-menu at mouse-position. the main reason i talk about such a feature, is that it has the potential to create some cool graphical effects. i'm thinking about flames which follow the mouse while right key is pressed (so u can 'firepaint' directly on the screen, to see your gesture) it's just a thought i have since a long time (i wouldn't need this feature often, but sometimes it would really help) greets, Christian Pedaschus ps. if this was already discussed, excuse me, i'm quite new to the list. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
