Hi folks,
In a fullscreen app, how can I minimize the window without either a) quitting the program, or b) calling SetVideoMode(xx). I just want people to be able to get to their desktop, check email, whatever, without having to quit and then restart my game…
Is there an SDL message I can send, function call, anything? Or is it all platform specific? If so, could you point me in the direction of where to find the platform specific calls I need (for at least Linux, Windows, and/or MacOS)? Please? Thanks!

Do you mean something like SDL_WM_IconifyWindow()? Or is this a 1.3
question - I haven’t really looked at the newer API yet.

Ooo, that sounds promising! (It’s regarding SDL 1.2)
Thanks for the heads up on that one… it sounds just like what the doctor
ordered!
