for (i=0; i
if (state->is_hidden) {
// move window to normal position
XMoveWindow(d, *child, 0, 0); // move window to 0x0
} else {

The code should be fairly easy to read; I am moving the windows off the screen when Mod+F11 is pressed for the first time, when it is pressed again they are moved back to 0x0 (all windows are always positioned at 0x0 and are streched the entire size of the screen).
Cycling through windows is as simple as calling one of the circulate-window functions in xlib!
Now we have something that is almost useable! Although I am seeing big problems with Thunar (the sub-windows seem to be being considered as their own standalone window).. so don’t try Thunar just yet!
