Right - same is true for all platforms.
You made your point, thx.
Since you are familiar w/ the Windows GDI API it seems,
can you provide code snippest for the MINIMIZED / MAXIMIZED window queries ?
Would you like to add this feature to NEWT (at least partially) ?
Instead of adding a bunch of new methods, how about:
Enum WindowState { MIN, MAX, ... }
WindowState getWindowState();
Please complete enums .. and change it as you see fit.
Brainstorming:
History of NEWT already caused a bunch of Window state query methods,
so I dunno whats best .. add more, or 'renovate' those API.
If the latter is true we may add already handled states (decoration,
fullscreen, visible) to the above WindowState.
For compatibility - we can keep the dedicated methods ..
