Some frames are used as sub-frames and are not important, they do not need to be displayed in the desktop bar. Examples are : - tooltips - dialogs - popup - dropdown menus
(02:41:48 PM) sgothel: for sure we have to see to security issues w/ this feature (02:42:01 PM) sgothel: i.e. no one-and-only window w/o taskbar entry (02:42:12 PM) sgothel: otherwise .. application could steam the desktop (02:42:15 PM) sgothel: *steal* (02:42:40 PM) sgothel: popup: no-decoration - hence is possible already, but w/ that taskbar entry (02:43:17 PM) Eclesia: they could be attached to a main windows. glWindow.createChild(boolean desktopVisible) (02:43:18 PM) sgothel: and if used as a NEWT child window, maybe the window-icon already gets grouped ? (02:43:20 PM) Eclesia: something like that
(02:46:49 PM) Eclesia: ha, found the irc log : http://jogamp.org/log/irc/jogamp_20131220050534.html (02:47:06 PM) Eclesia: 20131220 15:04:05 <xranby> Window state: (02:47:06 PM) Eclesia: 20131220 15:04:05 <xranby> Skip Taskbar (02:47:06 PM) Eclesia: 20131220 15:04:26 <xranby> xwininfo -wm (02:47:06 PM) Eclesia: 20131220 15:05:17 <xranby> so if the newt window adds this Skip Taskbar state then it will not show up in the desktop bar
20131220 15:04:05 <xranby> Window state: 20131220 15:04:05 <xranby> Skip Taskbar 20131220 15:04:26 <xranby> xwininfo -wm 20131220 15:05:17 <xranby> so if the newt window adds this Skip Taskbar state then it will not show up in the desktop bar
(03:00:16 PM) Eclesia: (14:53:29) sgothel: or maybe .. simply no fullscreen for skip-taskbar windows : +1 for this solution (03:00:42 PM) sgothel: then we need to define what is 'no fullscreen' ? (03:00:52 PM) sgothel: i.e. max size 1/2 of screen ? :) (03:01:10 PM) sgothel: or simply not the special fullscreen mode .. should work (03:01:16 PM) sgothel: i.e. taskbar switching .. (03:01:42 PM) sgothel: ok .. I guess we can live w/ that .. user can still bring up the console and kill the beast (03:01:49 PM) Eclesia: not the special fullscreen mode is ok
Implementation note: While doing so - use bitfield in WindowImpl for all the boolean properties!
