You can also use a thumbnail frame, which is as small as you like. Thumbify a
frame to follow what's happening from a distance ;-), and dethumbify it to see
close up. No matter how small the thumbnail is, you can still use it in every
way (search, highlight, follow dynamic process output, scroll...). It's like a
live icon.
