Hide/show window

[mrs.tort]

As a gnome completely hide the window using a console command? It is necessary that the windows would have been in the window list and it is not hidden in the tray.

Hi,
I didn't understand the question, so I will ask this...
Are you looking for a way to hide applications in the system tray?

Install "alltray" and give that a try. You can run alltray by itself in the system tray so you have quick access to hide any window you like. Or you can change your start menu entries so that the applications automatically go to the system tray every time, like this:

Example for Firefox:
alltray firefox

No, it's not what I need.

Check the Opacify box in Compiz and this allows you to hide a window by hovering the arrow over the window you would like to view . Make sure normal desktop effects are enabled.

anyone have any ideas?

yes. my idea is to explain what you are trying to accomplish. i can't understand what you are trying to do.

[mrs.tort]

I need to achieve the same result as the use of "alltray", but not using this program.
