Hello folks, I've just finished going through the entire thread, and here are some things you should keep in mind if you plan on doing this.
1) E knows nothing about the contents of any window (even if it was done in EFL). This means that the "resizing / re-redering" scheme that was mentioned doesnt really apply. 2) E can move / resize windows, but that would only have the same effect as resizing them with a mouse for example. 3) The current way this has been implemented in various apps is by polling and screenshotting at various intervals, thats why you might always run into instances where the previews are: a) incomplete b) older than the current window This happens because the window is covered by another and the application cant screenshot it properly. 4) This sort of code will not make it into E. Someone mentioned a module, that might be a logical move, it is, however, still against the E "policy". E doesnt really like things along the lines of pseudo-trans or screenshotting etc. Having said that, I would like to urge you to start work on this project asap, as it could prove to be a nice experience. If you need any help, please pass by #edevelop on freenode or continue to post to the mailing lists.
