Metisse (similar to compiz fusion) has a ’scale’ function which applies to individual windows. You grab the corner of the window and do a resize-scale operation, which shrinks down the window contents however small you like.

I’ve had this working on Mandriva on my desktop (on xfce wm) - Now, I just need to try it out on the eeePC (Mandriva) to see what happens!

Hello,

I do have a EEE PC, however my suggestion is not about this system. I’m thinking of little addition I would love to have in Compiz Scale plugin, but do not know how to report this. The idea is basically
- Bring up all windows with the shortcut key
- Have a number written on each window
- Press the corresponding number on your keypad to select taht window

That would avoid tedious ALT+TABbing and using the mouse, maiking work faster. :)

You should talk to Keith Packard who has spent some time on thinking about how to do this right - but currently doesn’t have the time to implement it. Drop me a line if you want me to put you in touch with Keith…
