Description Joe Konno 2012-08-07 16:03:39 UTC
In this instance, the lack of minimize (iconify in EFL-speak) functionality in Weston introduces an inconsistency in the "look-and-feel" of established GUI toolkits, including but not limited to EFL.
Comment 1 Manuel Bachmann 2014-02-19 09:14:47 UTC
Regarding this issue,

Please consider this set of patches, implementing a taskbar and minimization feature using the "xdg_shell_set_minimized()" call :

Comment 2 Philippe "RzR" Coval 2014-07-18 11:22:53 UTC
Since xdg-shell is about to become stable
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-July/016056.html

The current version does provide the minimize feature :
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/protocol/xdg-shell.xml

And it's implemented in various toolkits, gtk, qt

So we can assume the bug is fixed
(I'm setting it to RESOLVED , FIXED) .

However we at Tizen feel the unset_minimized request is missing
(may it be part of the state too ?)


If we compare to maximize both are there :

   <request name="set_maximized" />
   <request name="unset_maximized" />


While there is only :

   <request name="set_minimized" />


Would it make sense to add this one :

   <request name="unset_minimized" />


I supose it's not there because there is no real need,
but it wasnt intentional please confirm ?

We can share some patches if it maters.

Regards
