Andreas Kling dc919352b0 WindowServer: Don't send Paint messages to minimized windows.
There's no point in painting if it can't be seen anyway. We also make sure
to request a repaint when un-minimizing, so the window gets a chance to
repaint itself then.

Serenity

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

About

I always wondered what it would be like to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.

Serenity is a love letter to '90s user interfaces, with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by me, for me, based on the things I like.

If you like some of the same things, you are welcome to join the project. It would be great to one day change the above to say "this is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like." :^)

I regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

There's also a Patreon if you would like to show some support that way.
