Hey Someone Should Port This To Xp

hey i kinda got this idea from kurt871 and objectdock

there's a program for osx that allows you to minimize to desk (instead of taskbar) and it creates a mini screenshot

lookie here:

i found a program that kinda does something like that here but without the screenshot:

dialogmate

i figured if someone could get the functionality of objectdock tasbar with this desktop minimizing thing without the memory footprint of objectdock, this would be one phatty app. any ideas? anyone want to develop this mofo?

i believe there was an app someone made a way back, but i think he stopped developing it, im not sure where the thread is tho

yep it's called task pitcure 2 or TP2 for short

made by SAQLA, here's the link to the post

be sure to read the entire thread and specifically read juno's post with care.

hit refresh

anybody know of any alternatives to TaskPicture?

#101346

as of late, i just use object dock in conjunction with my y'z since i don't want both tasks and shortcuts to be in the same area

so the only thing on my od is the task function

running both might not last long though, cause it's sucking up all my memory

i'm going to give taskpicture a try. anyone know a way to disable the taskbar (but not hide it)? is that something that objectbar does, i haven't travlled down that road yet...

@swisher - what is the Mac program that does that called? Or is it built into the OS?

windowshade x found right herr.

oh and no offense to SAQLA for providing a QP

but i'd have to stick with objectdock--taskpicture is kinda buggy and it takes up just as much mem as OD

however, if saqla every decides to continue dev, it has potential to wupp arse

another kind of programm that use the same tip is SIWU's IeX0.3 (in developpement), it's an exposé like.

It's not exacly the same behaviour but it's ver nice to:

the problem of programs like OD and TackPicture2 is the resources... TP2 takes many many resources for the screeshots, and it's a bit buggy :P. OD takes many resources to and you can not have a screen when the widow is not minimized
