Feature request: Alter appearance of taskbar items for minimized windows

Tom Honermann 8 years ago updated by xpclient . 3 years ago 1

I'd like to have an option to alter the appearance of taskbar items for windows that are minimized similar to the support in KDE. See [1] for an example screenshot, the grayed out items correspond to minimized windows.


I find this useful when switching between tasks throughout the day; I minimize the windows unrelated to the task I'm currently working on, but leave them open to return to later. I find this simpler and less of a cognitive disruption than managing virtual desktops.

This would be actually great and a useful enhancement to the Windows taskbar. If not in grey, then at least with a simple overlay (-) that it is minimized.
