Having some trouble with wmctrl / bash and I'm really not sure why. I am confident that once someone replies and points out the stupid thing I'm missing I will:
A) be thankful
and
B) feel silly.
This works, to hide/unhide my terminal (which I set a static window name for)
I include it only because it was the basis for my attempt to keybind the same sort of functionality for Thunderbird.
#!/bin/sh
# Unshade and bring to front
if [ -f ~/.appstatus/term.shaded ]; then
wmctrl -r 'Term' -b remove,below
wmctrl -r 'Term' -b remove,shaded
rm ~/.appstatus/term.shaded
# Shade and send to back
else
wmctrl -r 'Term' -b add,shaded
wmctrl -r 'Term' -b add,below
touch ~/.appstatus/term.shaded
fi
This somewhat works:
It will launch Thunderbird if the application is not running, and it will bring it to the forefront maximized, but it does not re-shade or minimize it.
#!/bin/sh
# Check for Thunderbird running
if [ -f ~/.thunderbird/Profiles/default/lock ]; then
# Unshade and bring to front
if [ -f ~/.appstatus/thunderbird.shaded ]; then
wmctrl -r Thunderbird -b remove,below
wmctrl -r Thudnerbird -b remove,shaded
rm ~/.appstatus/thunderbird.shaded
# Shade and send to back
else
wmctrl -r Thunderbird -b add,shaded
wmctrl -r Thunderbird -b add,below
touch ~/.appstatus/thunderbird.shaded
fi
else
rm ~/.appstatus/thunderbird.shaded
thunderbird
fi
Also, since I have so few posts I cannot update my profile information - but if it helps any I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 with a very minimal install, living in Openbox.
