Set-visible without grabbing a focus

[Dmi]

Can the new GS window be drawed on the top of the screen, but not focused?



I.e. as "background process" that not interrupts the user's current work with other applications and keyboard.

An already running GS application can pop up a window without grepping focus. I don't know what happens if a GS app is started by another program not by a user (when it would grep focus).

depends on the desktopmanager or WM you are using. For windows there is probably a trick in the REGS for this.. For unix  you can overrule this from within 'Xdefaults' file ircc..Like "focus new window" or "Raise when popup"etc..

My case is when GS-app is already running. But how can it be done? - I didn't found in manual.

There is nothing you have to do. When a newLISP-GS application is running, and a second application has focus, and suddenly the newLISP-GS app is popping up a window, the window will not grep the focus, but the focus will stay in the second application.

Thanks!



gs:window works fine in linux and win.
