Hi Christophe, I finally got some time to check some new Windowmaker features so I tried to use that MiniPreview a.k.a. apercu feature but it doesn't work out of the box and there are some inconsistencies. Problem 1: - exit windowmaker - in the console manually edit GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file in order to remove all occurance of MiniwindowApercuBalloons and ApercuSize variables - MiniwindowPreviewBalloons is set to YES - MiniPreviewSize is set to let's say 256 - start windowmaker - tail -f .xsession-errors says: /usr/local/windowmaker-0.95.7.next/bin/wmaker(wReadDefaults(defaults.c:1227)): warning: your configuration is using old syntax for Mini-Preview settings; consider running WPrefs.app to update But it doesn't. Let's check using wdread: $ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons $ wdread WindowMaker ApercuSize $ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowPreviewBalloons YES $ wdread WindowMaker MiniPreviewSize 256 Problem 2: And at that moment miniwindows doesn't show any kind of mini preview while balloons still work (I have tried it with balloons turned off but without change). So I started the WPrefs changed MiniPreviewSize to 264, saved the change and closed WPrefs. wdread confirms it: $ wdread WindowMaker MiniPreviewSize 264 Mini window preview for miniwindows still doesn't show up. Then I have tried to use the old variables: $ wdwrite WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons YES $ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons YES At that moment I can see miniwindow preview for the first time but they look more like the original default (twice the size of the miniwindow). Then I start the WPrefs and change the size of the MiniPreviewSize to something else, let's say to 256, save and close WPrefs. Current state: $ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowApercuBalloons YES $ wdread WindowMaker ApercuSize $ wdread WindowMaker MiniwindowPreviewBalloons YES $ wdread WindowMaker MiniPreviewSize 256 At that moment miniwindow preview shows up as expected, with the size of 256px. - exit Windowmaker - start windowmaker Miniwindow preview shows up in size as twice the size of the miniwindow again. -- Josip Deanovic -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
