Hi there,

in Windows 7 I like this preview feature very much that shows a preview of a program even if it is minimized, when you hover with the mouse over the task bar. I wonder, does any recent version of KDE have a clone of this Windows feature? I currently run KDE 4.3.5 with Compiz and it does not have this cool preview feature.

Kwin effects from KDE SC 4.4.x have this feature ;)

In german it's 'Vorschaubild in der Fensterleiste' ~> Preview in the taskbar. Of course this is with kwin, I don't think compiz is supported here. Cheers, Karsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I see. And it does not work like Windows 7, it only previews windows that are not minimized, Windoze even previews minimized apps.

It does here (4.5). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

If that is all your talking about, it works here with the stock KDE Platform Version 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) "release 3" using openSUSE 11.3 with the standard repositories. I don't remember doing anything special to get this function except use the NVIDIA driver. It works both with minimized and open windows.

Oh, that's cool. I think I should get KDE 4.5 asap for openSUSE 11.2 :-)

KDE 4.5.3 from KDE:Distro:Factory is working well on 11.3 but you should install quickly it's changing to 4.6 which may not work so well initially. Maybe somebody can give you a link to a more suitable repository for 11.2.
