Why exactly did this deserve a seperate post instead of a reply on your previous post?

The difference between +l and +L is whether they show on the taskbar. In order for something to appear on the taskbar it must be a desktop window.

/window -d +l @test
/window -d +L @test2
Note how @test is on the taskbar and @test2 is not.

The n/x flags only have meaning when used with the t flag (a maximize/minimize button isn't displayed if a titlebar isn't displayed)
/window +tn @test
/window +t @test2
/window +tx @test3

And I could go through all the others but I hope you can figure them out now?

Help file:
Note: Some switches may automatically turn others on/off.

This implies that some switches only work in conjunction with others. Otoh, some work only when others are NOT there. You should experiment yourself by combining them in any way you can think of, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

i can't understand what does the +s

//window +t @a
Try to resize this window (drag it from one of the edges), you'll notice that you can't.

//window +ts @b
Now you can.

..which is exactly what the help file says:
Note: Some switches may automatically turn others on/off.

Posted By: codemastr Re: about the switches - 02/06/03 07:40 PM
/window -d +d @test
/window -d @test
Now do you see the difference?
Posted By: ScatMan Re: about the switches - 02/06/03 08:07 PM
but i want 'no border' with title
Posted By: codemastr Re: about the switches - 02/06/03 08:57 PM
Well thats nice, but it is also not possible.
Posted By: ScatMan Re: about the switches - 03/06/03 01:26 AM
what does the +e switch ?
Posted By: codemastr Re: about the switches - 03/06/03 01:32 AM
It defines whether the edge is 3d or not, if you want to see it in action, you can play around with the flags yourself. I really see no reason why we have to go and play around with the flag combinations to get the results when you could do the same thing yourself... We've provided you with numerous examples of using these flags, I think you can try and (based on our previous examples) figure out which ones do what.
