[Gambas-user] Making a taskbar with Gambas 3

[Benoit Minisini]

This is possible now, thanks to the changes in the gb.desktop component from 
revision #1617.

1) The DesktopWindow class now allows to change the Minimized, Maximized, 
FullScreen, Sticky state of a top-level window.

2) The new DesktopWatcher class allows to watch the following things:
- Active window change.
- Current virtual desktop change.
- Virtual desktop name change.
- Number of virtual desktops change.
- Desktop width/height change.
- Window more/resize change.
- Window name (title) change.
- Window icon change.
- Window state change.

Not everything is finished and engraved in the marble, but all these features 
are enough to implement a taskbar, a pager, and to manage virtual desktops.

The only thing that is missing is something to make a system tray. 

With that last thing, you will be able to make a full desktop environment 
entirely in Gambas, except the window manager. Such a beast is something 
complex, so at the moment using an already existing and reliable one is a 
better solution.

Enjoy it!
