Description lxlyons 2012-09-06 13:51:43 UTC

As agreed in our September 5 UI meeting, the debugging windows should open minimized by default for the HTML5 project type.

Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2012-09-06 16:10:34 UTC

The debugger windows are shared for all debuggers (Java/C/PHP/JavaScript/...) thus it will not be straightforward to implement...

Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2012-09-12 16:09:49 UTC

This needs new API, so that the debugger infrastructure knows which components should be minimized/deminimized depending on the set of running debugger engines. Currently it takes care about opening/closing, it needs to be extended to minimization.
