The way it is now is fine with me -- the flash is a little bit much. The icon in the upper right should be enough.
This is why: If a person does something to enter FSEM, then that person (in most cases) will know that it's an applet window and the flashing is just mildly annoying. If a person comes up to a computer after the change to FSEM or perhaps looks away during the change, he will miss the flashing and so it's unnecessary. But the icon will still be there. The icon is good -- not over done or over stated -- just enough. Now for the taskbar: When I go FSEM, I get the insets and subtract the insets from the new size of the window -- I use a Frame. I need to know the full size of the Frame to draw what I'm drawing. When I hide the taskbar, there may already be an Event generated and propagated to my Frame. I haven't added a WindowListener yet. I'll try adding a WindowListener tomorrow and see if there's a resize event. There should be some kind of event sent to my Frame. If the taskbar is hidden, then I'll need to know the new size of the Frame so I can draw into it. So the problem may be that I'm not listening for a resize event. I'll look at that tomorrow.
