Sleeping icon is already used in Hildon to show suspended apps. But suspended apps significaly differ from iconified — they actually terminated by Hildon (but Hildon remembers that they was stopped automatically and restarts them when you are switching to suspended app).
So, suspended apps that decorated by Hildon with “Zz” icon are really not draining cpu (because they simply doesn't running). But that's not true for iconified apps. And I think using same metaphor can couse misleading

And I'm not sure checkered pattern will look nice...

Sorry for criticism

A pixel size checkered pattern, not a checker board pattern.

One set (black and white), three transparent, or something like that. The alternating black and white should make it visible on solid black or white windows. Or maybe dark gray and bright gray instead of black and white.

You could also hang a little tab off the bottom corner that says "minimized". This combined with the grayed out thumbnail would let them know that the window was minimized(the obvious text) and not refreshing(the grayed out thumbnail).

That's makes sense. Such pattern will make “dimming” effect. And it is easy to implement.

@ Kroll, please make an icon.
I can make the icon. Just tell me what icon do you want to see.

I use rc14 and I love it. Only real (minor) bug is that sometimes when using the keyboard in MicroB I begin to enter a website address that it remembers and tries to complete, then the keyboard layout shows the desktop. So if i put in a site that starts with www.go and it suggests google the keys are gone and I have to guess where they are. Still fantastic though.

Ouch. Havn't seen that before. Does this happen every time you type addredd in microb?

not sure if it is related to telescope, as could have sworn i have seen it before i first installed it. Basically it looks as if
the OSK goes transparent.

I made test to compile Telescope (svn-185) for Maemo5, as I'm planning to use Fremantle without GLES.

It needed two compile fixes (newer compiler?) and one runtime. Then it almost works.

Works:
*show all running applications (there are no concept of minimized)
*clicking will activate selected
*clicking empty area will dismiss it
*closing applications with their close-button.


What is not working:
*Telescope has titlebar and close button (close button will crash telescope)
*If there are two xterm running, closing another will close (or crash) them both.

I compiled it with -DMAEMO4, and these are only modifications so far:

Wow! Cool that you found Telescope useful for your task.
Just curious — what is the reason for using Fremantle without GLES? Other device, not N900?

If I recall correctly, Telescope tries to hide window decorations for its window using this code:
Code:
    // TeleWindow.cpp:89
    Atom windowType = XTools::_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH;
    XChangeProperty(_dpy, _win, XTools::_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE,
        XA_ATOM, 32, PropModeReplace,
        (const unsigned char*)&windowType, 1);
May be for your window manager this does not work. If so, you will have to find which property will hide titlebar. You can try to figure this out using, for example, `xprop` command on some non-decorated window.

Hmm... I have no idea. You can try to test this on some other multi-window apps. Is this only for xterm or for all multi-window apps too?


It would be great if when you will send me a patch with your changes when it will be ready! But if it's not hard to you, please decorate your platform-specific changes with some define to keep code portable.
I'm really happy to see that Telescope is still useful for anybody

Every closed source bits prevents Fremantle to compiled for another target and recompiled with better optimizations. One very nice target for Fremantle would be (of course) Nokia N8x0.

This thread is about GLES-less hildon-desktop: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1187842

It could be this:
Code:
Atom newstate;
 newstate = XInternAtom(_dpy, "_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN", True);
 XChangeProperty(_dpy, _win,
              XInternAtom(_dpy, "_NET_WM_STATE", True),
              XA_ATOM, 32, PropModeReplace,
              (const unsigned char *) &newstate, 1);
But I haven't yet disabled hildon-desktop -task-switcher and that will cover fullscreen applications.

Also browser gives this. Output is
Code:
X Error! [3, 3, 0]
X Error! [144, 145, 28]
X Error! [144, 145, 8]
X Error! [3, 20, 0]
X Error! [8, 145, 4]
And without catching errors:
Code:
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x3400017
  Serial number of failed request:  799
  Current serial number in output stream:  800

I'm not yet sure how to use this with other components of hildon-desktop. I think these compile errors can be fixed for Diablo too.
