[Feature Request] MinimizeButtonShowsDesktop #140

Closed developer1105 closed 1 year ago

developer1105 commented 1 year ago

It would be interesting if IceWM had an option to minimize all windows when the user clicks the minimize button in any of the opened windows. As far as I know, no other WM has this feature and in my humble opinion it feels more natural and more intuitive, specially if you use lots of maximized windows. The default would be MinimizeButtonShowsDesktop = false, and to activate this new feature it would be necessary to set MinimizeButtonShowsDestkop = true.

It is not a good idea to grant every possible idea its own option, because the number of options would then explode tenfold. You can, however, easily define a key binding to accomplish this with the help of icesh. Or use KeySysShowDesktop="Alt+Ctrl+d".
