I'd rather have them the other way around; close on the left, iconify on the right. Close is, to me, a more 'back' operation than iconify, and so should go on the left (localisation aside, for now). > I personally like shading, and it is indeed just a minimize-in- > place.

I don't like having actions for double clicking on the title bar, because it's very easy to accidentally double click. Shade is better here than minimise-to-dock as Apple does, because there is a quick undo (double click again), without having to move the pointer a long way. This could work with minimise-in-place too, if it minimised to the location of the pointer. I was playing with some code in Composite for drawing a mini-window (a scaling transform on the composite operation). I can tweak the code in Composite to watch for a property saying that a window is iconified, and have Azalea set this if Composite is running or shade the window if it isn't for a minimise action? Would that make sense? David _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
