I've been looking the Weston code relative to maximized windows, and<br>
it seems that the respective code for minimized windows wouldn't be<br>
hard to implement.<br>
<br>
The questions are: are there any plans to add it? Is there someone<br>
already working on it? If not, would it be OK if I start submitting<br>
patches to try to add support for this?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A month or two ago, Scott Morreau was working on it. However, his work never made into weston for a variety of reasons. Personally, I'm glad to see someone interested in working on it again because it's something that wayland will need eventually.<br>
<br></div><div>The place to start on it is probably with the following e-mail and the long string of replies:<br><br><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-March/007814.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-March/007814.html</a><br>
<br></div><div>There was quite a bit of discussion about how to handle it from a protocol level, but Scott never made an actual version 2. I'd suggest you start by reading the chain of e-mails (it goes into April, not just March). There were quite a few suggestions in there that could be incorporated. Hopefully, you can pick through the e-mail discussion and figure out what the consensus was. It'd be good to have a pair of fresh eyes look at it. <br>

Of course the minimize feature would be more useful if we had a<br>
taskbar, or something like that, but I guess that having the code<br>
necessary for just minimizing the window would already be great.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Scott also had a taskbar implemented and a right-click menu. That said, I haven't looked through all of his code and I have no idea what it's like.<br>

I also would like to implement, if possible the "sticky" window<br>
feature (when a window is pinned, visible on every workspace). Is this<br>
a desired feature too?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not the person to answer that question.<br></div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Thanks for looking into this,<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">--Jason Ekstrand<br>
