How can I boot with Gxine running but minimised?

#1 Post by saintlangton »

Simple question - is it possible to start gxine in a minimised form from a script? Or to minimise a previously started gxine?

Why? - I use the Start-items dotpup to run a script that starts gxine playing music from bootup. The window that gxine shows gets in the way and I just wondered if I could minimise it in the script i use to start it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Someone in the fvwm-board had a simmilar issue, except he wanted to start an app in fullscreen-mode:

You can use the wxBasic-program described there.

To adapt it to your need, open main.wxb in an editor, and replace

xwin_toggle_fullscreen
with
xwin_iconify

A commandline-version of wxBasic very small in size (50kb) is included in runfullscreen.tgz
