minimize feature hover taskbar

minimize feature - hover in taskbar

hi - impressed with Aero but have found a few inconsistancies when minimising windows: When you minimise a windows then hover over the minimised item in the task bar it only shows a miniture version of the window as when of it was minimised. The task switcher and the 3d task switcher _do_ update the content though. Are there plans to at least force an update to the minature version in the task bar when hovering over it?

yeah, that is nutty...The thumbnail updates if you have the window open(when it is not needed since you can see it right there...) but it does not update when you have it minimized(when an update would help...)

It's rather difficult for thumbnails to update the display as no paint messages are being sent to an application when it is minimized. If you view the thumbnail for an app that is running in an active window, you will see the thumbail with a current updated display - this is because the active window does receive paint messages as it should.
