Are you sure this is the case? There are numerous applications that support swallowing. Some of them are quite small. Right now I can't think of one though, I'll do some checking. We talked about this some years ago I remember doing some checking back then, the ones that I have seen are derived from WindowMakers dockapps. These apps export small bitmaps as windows, I think the approach is valid for us to. /Robert
