compiz - Jun 2006 - Request: Option for "scale" plugin to show minimized windows

[If this is not the correct list for this request then please let me know!]

Hello,

     I would like to be able to use the "scale" plugin as a complete
taskbar replacement. To achieve I propose adding an option that
minimized windows be shown by scale. Currently, they are not.

     Another good option to have would be if a keyboard modifier could
be used (or a separate hot-corner) to tell scale to show windows from
all desktops (viewports). Most times I would would want to show just the
current, but sometimes I would want to see windows for all.

    Unfortunately, the source for scale seems to be completely
uncommented and I couldn't easily follow which functions were used for
what or I would try to create a patch myself. Is there any documentation
somewhere?

Thank you,
Carl Thompson

The first option is one that is often requested, and the second one is
something that's already there in my tree.  See www.compiz.net for more
information about that.
