While Vue is rendering to a window is there any way to minimize the whole thing and get it out of the way like with Bryce's CTRL-M?

I have to take my cursor down to my bottom bar (which I keep on auto-hide), the bar pops up, and I go to something else while Vue renders. Using Vue's minimize button while it is rendering doesn't seem to work. AS

Or just click on show desktop then do as u wish. But I normally do as Agent Smith said

Thanks. It does minimize when I click on Show Desktop, but it pops open again when I start anything else. At least the render doesn't stop and I can live with it.

Vue seems to always think it's "on top"...

Has anyone tried playing with Vue-process's priority in WinXP?

I was just thinking that maybe one could lower Vue's priority in the Task Manager in order to perform other functions on the computer.

I upped Vue's priority once, and everything went okay during the render. However, I'm not sure if upping the process's priority made the render any faster. :

Please don't kill me for saying this, but I love that Bryce (as of version 4) went to 'idle time' for its processing. It's so much more user friendly than having a separate render process. If you want to do something else you can without worrying about priorities. If you leave your machine alone it uses as much processor time as it needs. And the difference in render time is only a couple of seconds over several hours.
