ckvwm hidetasksonswitch and alt+tab Thread last updated on 2003-11-20 14:46:20

using ckvwm's hidetasksonswitch hides all tasks that aren't in that one desktop, which is pretty nifty. but i was wondering if there were a way that i could get the vwm to hide all the tasks that aren't on the current desktop from the taskbar, but to leave the full list of all open progs on all desktops in the alt+tab.

rabidvwm had a feature for this, something like !popuptasksall .. not sure if josh ever got it working.

It's not possible to make HideTaskOnSwitch show the windows in alt-tab but not the taskbar unless you have a specially built taskbar module to work with the VWM.

And I don't remember rabidvwm ever supporting anything similar, but I believe there was once a build of some popup module to work with ckVWM, which iirc has hooks for this.

Hrm... could the VWM modules somehow flag the app windows? Possibly with another magicdword or window properties...
I suppose this would also remove the problem of apps becoming inaccessible if LS crashes...

No, but task modules could send the LM_GETDESKTOPOF message to the VWM for every window to see what desktop the window is on. Then perhaps we can make another message that a VWM sends when it switches virtual desktops.
