    I'm not sure how else to describe it... and I've only seen it inside
    enlightenment which up until the other day I was using. I've come to
    the conclusion that it's just a bit too slow overall when I'm doing my
    daily work. So it's back to good ol' 4Dwm which I've always liked.

    I kept my eterm's though, because it is pretty darn cool. But one thing
    that I could do inside enlightenment which was very convienent was this
    'window shade' thing. If I had a window open, I could just double click
    on the title bar and it would "roll up" like a window shade and all that
    would remain would be the title bar.

    This was very nice because I could always see the windows I wanted in
    the exact same place, just smaller. With 4Dwm, all I can do is iconify
    the windows and watch them line up across the screen. I've deiced that
    I really liked the method of just rolling up the window.

    So what I'm trying to find out is there any type of application or
    different terminal that could do that. I don't know what to search on
    other than 'window shade' or 'roll-up', and as you'd guess, anything
    that has the word roll-up in a search just gives me patching info. :)

    Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
