Hello,

coming from those:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/dockbar/+bug/1329241 https://bugs.launchpad.net/dockbar/+bug/1330191

I'd like to continue here:

As already mentioned there, I asked on the Xfce mailing list and that is one of the answers I got:

Is there any chance you could also do window previes in DockbarX through Clutter like Stephan Haller seems to do be doing it in xfdashboard?

Regards

Any update on this one?

M7S commented 8 years ago

I don't even know where to start with this one and there are more pressing issues, so no updates for now or in a foreseeable future on this one. Sorry.

I think this should be possible using xcomposite extension for xorg. Not sure how to achieve the same on Wayland desktops though. xcomposite is what OBS Studio uses to record individual windows, and is desktop environment agnostic.

I'm interested in taking a swing at implementing this, but I can't make any promises as to when or if I'll get around to it, as I'm far busier than I'd like to be lately.

This feature has been implemented in the python3/gtk3 branch. see commit https://github.com/M7S/dockbarx/commit/e61f7aea5bc61269e20b9983937bf5554781d428 for details. Due to the limit of X APIs, only the non-minimized windows in current desktop/workspace can get preview images

I can't get thumbnail preview on minimized windows.

That is what the comment above yours explain.
