Then it would be cool if background-selector what compile selected static images to edje. :-) >> * If you press Alt+Tab and your system goes under heavy load at the moment >>the mouse cursor is "trapped" in the "Select a window"-dialog.

Hm, I press ALT-Tab, the window appears, the mousepointer jumps in (and cannot released anymore by moving) and I cannot cycle through it with more Tabs. I have to release the keys and press Alt-Tab again. I don't remember exactly, but I think the "Select a window"-dialog even stays painted on the screen when I release the two keys until I press them again. >>Ideas for E17: >> * No window-focus change when you are tipping in a window (type in password >>in a shell && instant messenger pops up problem => you type the password in >>the wrong window). > we don't know if you are typing in a window. e doesnt get key press events. > the > client program gets them. it has no idea whats going on.

My idea for registering e17 at openusability was, that I think there are quite a few (small) simple errors you can commit in usability means. these are easily pointed out by "experts". but all that's up to you. (and one thing: getting usability-reports from them doesn't force you to implement them :-) ) >>This are my ideas for making the greatest windowmanager/desktopshell I know >>even greater (IMHO :-) ). > no problems. i hope some of these answers help you too. :) Yes, thank you :-) Another suggestion: Would be great if the battery module could use hal to access battery info. to be quicker. greetings fabian ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
