Bug 58851 When shell is created with SWT.NO_TRIM, windows does not show it on task bar
Reported: 2004-04-16 11:22:44 | Status: resolved fixed

When shell is created with SWT.NO_TRIM, windows does not show it on the task bar. Thus we can t switch tasks to get to this shell. It works fine under Linux. It looks like a windows limitation ? The issue is that having no trim for windows is something nice, but still we don t want to 'lose' the application. Additionnaly, if the window has a non rectangular shape, when the shell is minimized, it is minimized as a window limited to a top bar, with the top bar being 'cut' to the region of the shell. It does not look clean.
