Title: Iconification
Post by: MrZammler on May 26, 2005, 02:10:46 PM

Hi,

is there an app that can iconify windows? Something similar to powerwindows (i.e. an extra gadget to every window (mui/not mui) taken from visualprefs so it blends nicely with everything else?).

Sadly powerwindows doesnt work right on my machine; it leaves a rectangle behind every window that gets iconified which is solved by ticking on SMARTREFREASH in PW prefs, but makes windows refreshing very slow....

So, is there anything similar out there?

thanks.

I can't remember what it was exactly, but there was one windows-startbar-clone that had this ability.

Well, I would like to avoid using a start-menu on my miggy ;-)

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Nope, tried everyhting on aminet, nothing came really close to pw... (this one has a strange left+right mouse click thingy)...

just found how to fix that problem (thanks to a guy here on Aorg).

Start PowerWindows BEFORE VisualPrefs in Startup-Sequence ;-)

EDIT- the famous "guy on AOrg" . . . were you Mr. and you said:

"here works" do you remember?

Hey Fr!

yes, that did work for the rectangle thing, but sadly made my window refreshes veeery slow. So I had to choose, and gave up on PW. That's why I'm looking for something else.
