Hi WinFlip Developer

I think it would be absolutely brilliant if one could minimize a window while 'flipping' by right-clicking on the window (or alternatively put, be able to switch the window between opaque and tranparent)). And I believe it would not be to much work to implement. I'm sure you will make many users very happy

Keep up the good work!

Hi Geo

Yeah, you are right. It's not hard one. I've done it.
Pls download it from the page below. And try it.

It's little bit buggy now. Sometimes the screen flicks. But you can check the function.

Thanks for your request.

I tried it out. Thanks for the quick implementation. As you said, it is still buggy.

1) The taskbar flashes when changing a tranparent window to opaque.

2) When the front-most window is changed to the minimized state, it doesn't minimize after releasing ALT.

3) It should be possible to minimize all the windows by changing all of them to the transparent state. I think this is not possible due to (2).

When you are done tweaking this function, post the link and I'll be happy to test it again

Great feature indeed !

I find it perfect. Maybe sometime ( if at all ) to fix :

1. Occasionally, when minimized/maximized, the taskbar becomes active or blinks with white. The key word here is occasionally, that is not always   

2. The "Desktop" window should no be allowed to be minimized 


All that you Koji implemented in 0.423 has value. Thank you much indeed.

   Good day Geo !

Thank you for suggesting this wonderful "Minimize with mouse right click in flip mode" feature and thank Koji Higashino for implementing it.
 
I have read your bug report and should admit having the same bugs.

My vision is :

1. Indeed, when maximizing/minimizing in flip mode, the taskbar sometimes flashes with white. Fixing this bug is probably a matter of time.

2. It is true that releasing "Alt" after pressing "Alt+Tab" to flip and minimizing all windows ( including the foremost ) to transparent results in having the foreground window maximized.

The way to get all windows minimized when you are in flip mode is to choose the desktop tile. For this, make sure you have checked the box in front of Options > Other > "Put the desktop into the windows list".

It is good enough to me, but having all windows minimized after they have been made transparent by right click is a good idea too.

Best regards, Roman.
