hover mouse for max app gesture

[lee]

Ive got so used to hovering over a window in order to move it with x-winder that I have tried to do the same with

restore app
maximise app

to discover that it doesnt work :(

it seems a shame that when you flit from one window to another and then decide to maximise it that you have to make sure the window is selected before you maximise it

does anyone know a way around or know if its possible

Look in the Window/Desktop section of the macro library for the 'XWind Bring To Front', 'XWind Restore,' 'XWinder Toggle' macros. Those should do what you want, at least on XP.

I haven't gone looking for it yet, but is the same possible with OSX? There are some apps that I use regularly that do not have cmd-m mapped to minimize window.

It would be if window state could be changed via Accessibility API. The API seems to give write access to the window 'minimized' property but not the 'zoomed' property, so probably couldn't do maximize/restore.

BTW, in case any of you are feeling ambitious and want to file bug reports with Apple on some of the Accessibility API limitations such as this and the new Safari 1.2 window grabbing problem, be our guest. May be awhile before we get around to it...

D'oh!

I just noticed that this was for XP-only, and it doesn't work with OSX.

Oh well.
