morhpic copy the max/min buttons to bottom of the browser.

Squeak - Dev mailing list
Hi all,

In my work, I like to 'adhere to edge' on many open browsers.

I have a browser adhered to the bottom right of the world.

to explain further, the browser is minimized at bottom-right edge. the max /min buttons are aligned in the minimized browser along the bottom. I click the button, and the browser is un-minimized but now I have to move my mouse all the way up to where they moved to. (problems of the future, I know.....poor tty has to move that heavy mouse all of several inches, oh!  the humanity!)

I thought it would be handy to copy the min-max buttons on the browser to the bottom of the browser so I could do a quick max/min without having to move my mouse after the operation.
the copy works fine, but, after the first click, the buttons get hidden behind the browser and stuck to the world.

any Morphic geniuses have a suggestion on how to get the copied buttons to adhere to the little status-bar-doohickey along the bottom of the browser?

thanks in advance

Hi Timothy!

Hmm... SystemWindow >> #collapseOrExpand is rather ... special. :-) Even the "layout" of the grip morphs to resize the window is rather "hacked" on top of the proportional layout. See BorderGripMorph >> #layoutProportionallyInBounds:positioning:.

Could you add a screenshot so that we can see what you want to achieve?

Best,
Marcel
