Re: [sc-users] Hiding and re-showing a window?

Actually there could be a cross-platform issue here. I think the alpha
trick works on mac, but not SwingOSC. For SwingOSC:

w.visible = false;
w.visible = true;

Not sure if SCWindow supports visible_.

PS Yes, once you close a window, it's gone. w.close is permanent.
