Window-List with double-click to maximize 0.2

This has now been updated for cinnamon 1.6

This applet is a modified version of the original window-list but with features for controlling maximized windows.

  • Clicking on the Window List Button for a focused Maximized window will Unmaximize it. Clicking once again will Minimize it.
  • Clicking on the Window List Button for a Minimized window will Restore the window, clicking once again will Minimize it.
  • Double-clicking on the Window List Button for a Maximized window will Minimize the window.
  • Double-clicking on the Window List Button for a Minimized or Unmaximized window will Maximize the window.

These features are very helpful if you wish to turn off titlebars for maximized windows and have a flipped menu bar. I use this with the cinnamon window buttons applet and a modified theme.

 

Installation

  1. Extract the zip into a temporary directory

  2. cd into that directory

  3. chmod +x install.sh

  4. ./install.sh

  5. Press ALT-F2, type r, and press ENTER to restart cinnamon.

The install script will replace the default cinnamon window-list with my version of the applet.

To uninstall the applet:

  1. cd into the temporary directory

  2. chmod +x uninstall.sh

  3. ./uninstall.sh

  4. Press ALT-F2, type r, and press ENTER to restart cinnamon.

    Ivan76: I'm not sure what it is you're doing there, but there is no need to use sudo. In order to install the applet all that needs to happen is for you to run install.sh as your desktop user. In general, to install applets in to your cinnamon, you simply need to copy the applet directory into ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets. My install script does one further step, replacing the original window-list with my new one. There is also a deinstall script.
