I'm currently working on a new style and am considering integrating a shade button into the window label. Do you feel the shade feature is a worthwhile addition in a style or not?

I've noticed the current antiX fluxbox does not seem to support the shade feature (using styles with the shade button) out of the box, but apparently, with a little tweaking, it can be set up. Is this correct?

doh! Just discovered while reading through the Fluxbox Wiki that double clicking an open window's title bar shades that window. A shade button is unnecessary and extraneous.

Detected a certain ambivalence to this post so everyone else must already know this little fact. Smile

I guess that many didn't know that solution. I didn't.
I usually right-click on the titlebar and than choose shade.
Nice tip. Very Happy

No, I didn't know about it either. It's always great to get tips like this.

Now (*whisper*)...could someone tell me what the four-dot vs. single-dot toggle does in the left corner of the title bar? Please don't tell anyone that I don't know...

in openbox you can choose whether it shades or maximises the window (i find maximising easier this way) [/plug]
