Iconized Vs Minimized

[Beno]

Hey Gang,

I'm doing my Java Sun Certified Programmer course and I'm up to the applet part of it. They are talking about iconized and minimized and I thought iconized was meant to be minimized.

Is there any difference between "iconized" and "minimized"??

Thanks

Beno

In general Windows parlance I thought they were the same. Not to say that Sun hasn't put a new twist on things :)

If I remember correctly, iconized is when a program running on an Apple computer has been minimized at startup. This is done in Windows when you have a program "running" in the systray.



EDIT I had to do some checking, my memory of these terms is from my apple days, :) but minimized is when a running program's window has been minimized and iconized is when a running program is represented by an icon either on the desktop or,in the case of Windows, the systray.
