What is the Window Manager?
Some of you may have noticed when RoK came out the inclusion of a new window called WindowManager but no explanation as to what it does.
Basically the WindowManager is built-in support for minimizing EQ2 windows. This is something I wanted to implement in my own EQ2 interface so I worked on this feature in my spare time. Think of it as the start-menu bar in Windows.
To see it in action, make the WindowManager visible using the command /show_window MainHUD.WindowManager
Next you'll need to add a minimize button to a window, like the Persona Window. The easiest thing to do is make a copy of the Close or Settings button that already exists in the WindowFrame page, and rename it to "Minimize".
Now, when you click the minimize button, the window should become hidden, and a button corresponding to that window will appear in the window manager. Clicking the button in the window manager will make the window visible again and remove the button from the window manager.
If you have any questions about it, let me know.
