Hello @mszoek can u explain i detail the problem

Yes! Sorry, I converted these issues from notes in my project board so they are pretty sparse! This one is a to-do item for implementing a behavior in Dock. When an open window is minimized, Dock should display an icon for it, and un-minimize/restore that window if the icon is clicked.

The code that does the actual display and badging of the minimized window icon is there today. The missing piece is to hook into WindowServer and catch minimize/restore events to drive this. You would call this on a minimize event:

ravynos/CoreServices/Dock/DockItem.m

Lines 53 to 55 in 72c6d0c

	+dockItemWithMinimizedWindow:(unsigned int)window forApp:(DockItem *)appItem {
	return [[DockItem alloc] initWithMinimizedWindow:window forApp:appItem];
	}

and if a window is restored externally from Dock, it should also catch that event and remove the minmized window icon for it.

Is that enough explanation?

Sure, go wild. I like enthusiasm :) I probably won't get to doing this myself for a while since I'm working on another area right now, so please feel free to try doing it if you want to!
