IDEA: Minimized Apps Render As Desktop Icons

<< < (2/2)

kingsmob77:
No one interested in this one?

C'maon, it would be totally cool.  :D

skwire:
I don't know if you're a programmer at all but I think the issue here is that this is not nearly as easy as it might seem.

Paul Keith:
Outside of Chrome apps and Prism, it's a cool idea but I have to wonder whether this is worth doing.

Why would the desktop be ergonomically better than say a systray icon or a drawer panel or a dock?

Edit:

There's something like this in KDE but I haven't tried it and I'm not really a programmer:

Another consideration is if a user employs a minimize control application, like WinTray or some commercial one, everything is likely to get very confused.  Explorer crashes are likely.
