Hello again Klaus.
Is this correct?
Code: Select all
on openstack
set the rect of stack "trigger" to 9999,9999,10000,10000
go stack "trigger"
end openstack

Hi Bidge,
yes, this is correct, but you could add a line to make your skinned stack the defaultstack again, see below:

Hi Klaus...IT NEARLY WORKED

Only problem was when you click the taskbar icon it fails to maximize!
I can't believe it...so close

Hi Bidge,
OK, try to omit the first line in the script of the trigger stack (set the rect of me...)
since it should know its old position and restore at that place automatically:
Code: Select all
on uniconifyStack
show stack "name of your skinned stack"
end uniconifyStack

Hi Klaus.
Sorry that did'nt work iether

....You have an option of maximizing from the taskbar...when I do this the empty Trigger stack is maximized to full screen.
Cheers

Hi Bidge,
OK, here we go, another brilliant idea!
We could try to set the maxheight and maxwidth for the stack,
so maximizing would be in this boundarys, know what I mean?
Script of skinned stack:
Code: Select all
on openstack
set the rect of stack "trigger" to 9999,9999,10000,10000
set the maxheight of stack "trigger" to 1
set the maxwidth of stack "trigger" to 1
go stack "trigger"
set the defaultstack to "your skinned stack"
end openstack
At least worth another try

Klaus.
That was quite funny.

When I tried to maximize the exe from the taskbar a tiny little stack flew upwards and sat offscreen in the upper left hand side of the monitor. At least something happened.
Cheers

Sorry, I'm afrad I'm running out of ideas now...
Oh, no, wait, another flash of genius strucks me!
OK, if all this "trigger" concept apparently only works with a "normal"
and visible stack, then we use a "normal and visible stack!
BUT we set its blendlevel to 100, so it is only visible to the computer.
Maybe this does work (somehow)
Try this:
Script of skinned stack:
Code: Select all
on openstack
set the rect of stack "trigger" to 9999,9999,10000,10000
set the maxheight of stack "trigger" to 1
set the maxwidth of stack "trigger" to 1
## !!!
set the blendlevel of stack "trigger" to 100
go stack "trigger"
set the defaultstack to "your skinned stack"
end openstack
Best

Aaarg! Sorry Klaus.

that did'nt work either. So close.... The icon is on the task bar but when maximized the trigger stack still shoots up into the upper left off screen.
Cheers
