View a thumbnail preview of a window

You can view the thumbnail preview of a window in WindowMaker. This is especially useful if you have an application with many windows. You can then view the thumbnail preview of a window to check if it is the right one before opening it.

You can view the thumbnail preview of a window. The thumbnail preview is available and updated only after you have saved a window. If you migrate an application or import a window from an XML file, you can view the thumbnail preview without having to explicitly save the window. If you import a window from another application, you can view its thumbnail preview without having to explicitly save the window. However, if you have modified the window after importing it, you must save it to view the changes in the thumbnail.

You can also update the thumbnail of all windows in an InTouch application. You must close all windows before you can update the thumbnail.
