i'm having trouble minimizing all active foreground windows with litestep
the bang in the litestep core is bugged and no module offers the same possibility
im not even using litestep anymore because of that

you can check out the details here
http://www.litestep.net/index.php?section=4&action=view&catId=1&id=6377

it has already been some time and i feel left alone by the developer
so i offer money for your programming skills

i was thinking about 50 euros
but if its not enough just tell me how much you would like to have for it
i can pay via paypal or international bank transfer

You can try this unreleased version of xTaskbar-2.0.7 ->Here, which overrides the core bangs !MinimizeWindows and !RestoreWindows.
It will minimize and restore all Windows, which are normally displayed in xTaskbar. These Bangs don't affect ALL windows!

Please report request, bugs and problems at http://www.ls-universe.info

xtaskbar 2.0.7 is just redirecting !minimizewindows to its !tasksminmize bang :(
worse than before

i only need the possibility to minimize all foreground windows correctly

Just donate the money to a charity, and we'll fix it when we fix it. Or better yet, you could learn how to compile the source code, and jump on #lsdev and I'm sure we'll help you figure out the necessary code changes.

WIN+M, WIN+SHIFT+M


Works...except they are bound to the !Bangs that are being reported as buggy.

well i could probably find out how to compile the sources to one exe
but i'm not a programer

Posted by member 386686 on 2008-01-07 06:57:37 link

any idea where i could find a suitable programer to fix this?

You could always go to #LSDev and make your offer there. However, you are probably just as likely to get turned down there as here.

i almost got it fixed now

current problem:
- tvgenial still bugging when maximizing after minizing
everything else works perfect :)

i would like release the code when it is complete
but only if the !minimizewindows bang wont be taken out in the future
i think thats a fair proposal

The license for the code only states that if you redistribute the program, that you must include the source. As long as you keep it to yourself, you don't need to provide anyone your changes. However, it generally is appreciated when someone fixes an issue to provide it to other people to utilize as well. Cheers.

i know
just would like to see my code taken over into litestep
so i dont need to recompile it myself everytime a new version comes out
not that this would happen often ;)

Then post the patch...
