Can I hide on Windows a running application icon (such as Chrome, or an application of mine) using python? I have just seen how to hide the whole taskbar but not a single window.

I have a PyQt5 application. I call QApplication.setApplicationName("my-name") and this appears as the default window title, but when I alt-tab through my programs (on Ubuntu 18.04 standard configuration) the application name is "Unknown"
What's missing? How do I make the application name appear here? (An icon would also be nice, but the name is most important.)
Cross-platform if possible.
I am trying to set up the Divio app on Win10 Pro.
I can launch the application, log in, select the workspace folder for my project, so the required dependencies should be fine.
However when I click on "Set up my project", then a new window is opened with a text "Preparing logs...", and an animated "hour-glass" appears next to the "Open Shell" button in the lower-left corner, but that's it. Everything hangs up at this point, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Restarted the computer and the app several times, but with same results.
Any ideas how to work out what is going wrong?
The Divio app is an Electron application, and uses Chromium for the interface.
You can invoke its Inspector as you would in Chrome itself, using command-option-i on Macintosh and control-shift-i on Linux and Windows.
The Inspector's Console tab will show any errors, and this will help understand what is happening internally. Typically, they will be errors related to the operating system in some way.
On Windows 8.1, if you right-click on the taskbar and point to Toolbars you can turn on Touch Keyboard, which makes a small image of a keyboard appear at the far right of the task bar just to the left of the notification area.
I want to develop an application that can make a presence here with a dynamically updating display of a time string (a count down application).
Can anyone advise if this is possible using C# .NET?
From various research I've discovered it is extremely difficult to determine exactly what Microsoft refer to this utility as. I have seen 'deskbar', 'deskband' and obviously it's under 'toolbars' in the task bar context menu. It also seems every major OS release changes the terminology and functionality completely. So bonus points if anyone can clear up what it's called on Windows 8.1 in addition to what term to research or MSDN article to read about developing an application that sits there.
I have a Acer Chromebook that is running in Developer Mode. In ChromeOS and cosh I have a German keyboard. When I want to switch to Ubuntu (strg+alt+f2) I have to login to the Developer Console with the login account chronos. But here the keyboard layout/setting is EN-US. After typing in the commands crouton/ubuntu starts and the keyboard layout is German again.
How can I change/switch the keyboard layout in the Developer Console?
Is there a shell command for it?
The Developer Console, crosh, is a unix console, and unix commands generally apply. I'm not sure what the relevant command is offhand, but you can probably find it with some Google-fu.
Alternatively, the developer console is also accessible by pressing Ctrl-Alt-T, which opens crosh in a tab instead, then typing shell.
You can then change keyboard layouts using Chrome OS's graphical interface.
Check Chrome Options
Add a new language and select the corresponding keyboard layout
The status bar now reflects the current keyboard layout
Clicking it will allow you to switch layouts
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 and have also installed GNOME Do as a task launcher. If I already have a Firefox browser window open, and I use my hot key to open Gnome-do and type in Firefox + enter, it opens a whole new window instead of focusing on the window I already have open.
I'm used to Mac OS X's Quicksilver where it focuses you back to the opened application if it exists already. Is that possible to replicate using GNOME Do or Ubuntu Dash?
This may be different for a mac keyboard, but on a windows keyboard the key combination is win+numkey, with num being the order of your application in the launcher.
You can hold down the win key and get an overlay of applications, and the corresponding number to open them.
Hope that helps!
