Title: FLWM Minimize behavior
Post by: duane on September 17, 2014, 02:54:38 PM

I want to raise() an application that is minimized.  I'm using Qt and calling activateWindow(); raise(); works on most operating systems.  On Tiny core it doesn't.  Is there a way to configure FLWM's behavior with respect to minimized applications as I can with other Linux distros?  Alternatively, is there a way to configure which window icon are shown so I can remove the minimize button?

Click on the desktop.  Then click on the minimized application.

Thanks.  I guess you mean right click on the desktop.  But this is a controller with a touch screen.  I don't want this behavior.

Try another WM? FLWM is not very configurable.

Right and left click do the same thing on the FLWM desktop.

Thanks, I didn't realize that.  But I still don't want this behavior.  I would prefer to remove the minimize button.  I see in the source that there is a setting to hide this.  I guess it's not configurable except to rebuild the source.

In the process of trying XFCE but this looks fairly large.

There are a lot of small WMs, fluxbox, openbox, etc. CorePlus includes many of those.
