[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] RE: Boot to a different look?

[From: Ng, Cheon-woei]

Hi Tapani,

I was able to create a simple program with buttons that would invoke other programs.  When any program is in normal view mode, using 'matchbox-remote -next/-prev' would navigate through the programs.  However, once programs are minimized, the matchbox-remote function does not switch to those minimized programs.  

Without using Maemo's Desktop, may I know a good way to keep track of minimized programs?  Is there a function call or script that would reactivate a minimized program to full screen again?  

Thank you very much for help.

Sincerely,
Cheon-Woei Ng

With 'matchbox-remote -next/-prev' you can switch between available
application windows. You can also map these actions to hw-keys by
creating/editing a file '/etc/matchbox/kbdconfig', check
http://projects.o-hand.com/matchbox/documentation/manual/wm.html#wmkeys
for examples.
