8.10 Shading Windows

Many window managers allow a window to be shaded; when in this state only the title bar of the window is visible.

— Function: window-shaded-p window

Returns true when window is shaded, false otherwise.

— Command: shade-window window

Arrange for only the title bar of window to be visible.

— Command: unshade-window window

If the window is shaded, restore it to it's original state.

— Command: toggle-window-shaded

Toggle the shaded state of the window.

— Variable: raise-windows-when-unshaded nil

When true, raise windows when they are unshaded. Defaults to false.

The shaded property of a window is set to t when the window is shaded. If a window is added with this property already set, then the window will appear in its shaded state.
