The GNOME file manager Nautilus has a file management mode called "spatial mode". Each folder is displayed in a separate window. As you click a children folder, it is opened in a new window.
It would be great if we could give the CM an effect hint: If the CM plans to draw an appearance or disappearance effect, it should not originate from the task switcher, but from a particular region in a particular window. In our case, we'd use the children folder's icon in the parent folder window. What do you think about this proposal? Do you have any implementation suggestions? Maybe the child window should have two hints: effect_origin_window=window effect_origin_rectangle=rect If none are set, compositing managers can fallback to the current behavior (i.e. use the task area). >From an application developer perspective, we have also to consider that the origin may change at runtime [in our case the folder in the parent window may change its position]. best regards, Christian Neumair -- Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
