Minimised windows

Post by mse »

Hi
I try to adapt MSEide+MSEgui
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui
to Linux Mint-Cinnamon. Additionally to the problems mentioned here:
viewtopic.php?f=206&t=251027
it seems that the only messages an application gets if a window is minimized by clicking the '-' window frame button is a _NET_WM_STATE property change event with _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN set. Is this intended?
That means that Cinnamon must be treated differently than other desktop environments which makes the construction of a cross-platform and cross-desktop GUI toolkit even more difficult.
How can a minimized window be showed in software? The only way I found is to set the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property which also looks a little bit special to me. ;-)
Is it intended?

Hello, fredvs.

Your questions are on the development level. Therefore it is pretty unlikely that any of us Linux Mint Cinnamon will be able to help you solve the reported issues.
Yet we can point you to the places where you might find the Cinnamon developers.

Cinnamon:
Reporting an issue in Cinnamon or Linux Mint
which near the top also points to: Cinnamon issues

HTH,
Karl
