I had to do a clean install of fantasy grounds yesterday and notice that minimize isn't working at the top of the Fantasy Grounds window screen.

Has it ever? I've never had cause to minimise but I can't remember that ever being lit up.

I've minimized it before if my memory is right. usually when I'm working on module entry.

Not sure if my reinstall messed things up or if it was a bug with the 3.2.3 version.

I used to remember it working aswell, but like, a year+ ago. I think I remember Moon saying something about it being removed to deal with an issue at the time.
Could be misremembering though. But it has been a LONG time since it was able to be minimized.

Minimise does not work and has not since before FG3, since before any of you joined so any memories are false ones :)
There were lots of screen draw/redraw issues with minimise and restore.

Maybe I just remember this being asked and answered as such :P

I minimize FG all the time. I do it from the taskbar (minimize all), and it comes back up when any program receives focus. But it is still possible so you shouldn't rule out the occurrence.

Good point. I wonder if this minimise function is handled differently by windows or Fantasy Grounds...?

Where is this mysterious minimize all option that you speak of?

Ah, ok. Windows 10 apparently doesn't have such a button - at least not at that location.

It's called "Show the desktop" in Win10. Right click anywhere on the task bar and it's an option on the menu.

Its at the extreme RHE of the windows 10 taskbar.

Or use WIN-D to show desktop from your keyboard.

And if only the WIN button worked this would be fine. The Windows button has never worked on my current machine or my last one; and I'm not sure it worked on the previous version of windows that I had either.

Maybe it has to do with your kilt?
