Hiding Screenlets with Compiz

[JustinAlf]

Does anyone know how to hide screenlets with compiz like OSX? I know it's possible with the widget function on Beryl, but Beryl runs slow on my computer. If anyone knows how to get this running, i would LOVE to know. oh yea, I'm running Compiz-fusion, but I'd be happy to run an older version of Compiz in order to get this working because screenlets are amazing, by far the best desklet/widget engine for Linux. So... any help would be greatly appreciated.

i've had no luck thus far. works occasionally. most of the time screenlets dissapear when i click "treat as widget" and with the widget plugin enabled on compiz fusion. wonder what the workaround is for this problem.

What keys do you hit to hide the widgets. I have the widget plugin enabled and the screenelts set to widget stance, but I cannot configure the widget plugin in Compiz Manager. I"m compleatly lost here.

Ok finnaly got this working great! I had compiz-fusion installed, but my problem was that I was running the old compiz plugins. I installed the compiz-fusion plugins and added one called widget. Under that there is a option to set the key in which you want your widgets to appear and disapear. All you have to do is bring up your screenlets and right click them, and choose widet. They will then disapear until you press F9, or whatever you set your key at. Have fun

Justin,

Could you tell me what you typed in the widget plugin settings section of compiz manager to be the apps to be widgets. I've tried screenletsd, screenlets.py and screenlets add and so far still no luck.

I can get them to disappear by telling them to be widgets but can't get them to reappear when I press f9 although it's plainly obvious that the widget overlay is getting displayed.

Thanks
