I am trying to make a fullscreen window with a minimize button. This might be getting old for some of you but i just couldn’t find a good tutorial or anything. I need help with the following:

1. is it possible to do if it’s the only thing open (I heard about the blurrrrrr method - not interested. Sending it off the screen sounds cool - but the window icon in the taskbar appears pushed in. Is there a way to work around that(again if there are no parent windows or parent.parent windows)?
2. i was trying to do this with Javascript - is there anything else i can minimize a window with?  
3)Thanks for any help
