I like window snapping as well, but I like KWM's version better. It doesn't really lock windows together; it just help you aling windows edge-to-edge very quickly, and that's just the way I like it. And KWM's snapping works for all apps. Well, short of XMMS, that is... > And I think > the intention was to make it as similar to winamp as possible. > Based on that, they've done a pretty good job. Yes indeed, but I think they should have aimed a lot higher than emulating the WinAmp API when they were at it... :-) Granted, WinAmp actually improves (some) things on the window manegment side on Win32 - but that's just because the Win32 WM is completely useless. //David .- M A I A -------------------------------------------------. | Multimedia Application Integration Architecture | | A Free/Open Source Plugin API for Professional Multimedia | `---------------------------> http://www.linuxdj.com/maia/ -' .- David Olofson -------------------------------------------. | Audio Hacker - Open Source Advocate - Singer - Songwriter | `-------------------------------------> http://olofson.net -'
