Displays the current window's title and icon in the panel. Goes well with the 'Cinnamon Window Buttons'.
Mostly a clone of rymate1234's Window Title Applet but based on the code from the Window Buttons, fixing what bugged me most. This has some configuration options, just have a look at the config.json included.

Version 1.0 (July 18th 2012):
- Initial Release
Looks great but sadly for me it seems to freeze up the desktop when i use Chrome.
Fixed, I forgot to disconnect the title change signals once they aren't needed anymore. The new version also brings more options: TEXT: Can be "TITLE" (default, displays the current window's title) or "NAME" (displays the current app's name) TOOLTIP: Same values as above, for displaying a tooltip. Also possible: "NONE" (default, no tooltip) CLICK_ACTION: Can be "MENU" (diplays a menu when the applet is clicked - need to fix positioning), "CLOSE" (closes the window) or "NONE" (default, no action on click) Graphical options will come next, I hope. They're needed^^
why it works only for first workspace?
Can't confirm that. Works on any workspace for me. Did you have maximized windows on second workspace? Default settings hide the applet if there is no maximized window.
thanks for the fix, menu is a nice addition aswell
when menu is enabled the applet disappears when switching window, other than that its working fine for me
errt, install and enable applet - it works fine on first workspace. Switch to second wsp, launch termial (its launches in fullscreen), unmaximize window - titlebar is hid. On first workspace it stall works fine. And with v.1 behaviour was absolutely identical.
Still can't see any difference between workspaces. Applet hiding on unmaximizing windows is default behavior, this can be configured diffently if wanted (though that requires a restart of cinnamon). @welshtramp: Thanks for reporting, there's more weird things happening with the menu, I'll have to look into that closer, but it will take some days until I find the time to do that.
Fixed some bugs, mainly the localization should be working now and at least most of the problems with the menu should be solved. The menu is now positioned below the mouse pointer, though I'm not sure what will happen in multi-monitor setups. Still no graphical configuration, missing the time for that now. @m0n9oose: I still could not find out what your problem is, but it might have been fixed, too. Just try the new version.
Almost perfect ........................... ! The menu doesnot pop up where it is clicked but rather it appears a bit (often not visible) to the left.
Finally, I think I found out how the positioning is working. Should now work as expected.
this is a good applet. it would be an even greater applet if it included window buttons and if it worked in a none-maximized state. such an applet would totally replace the default window list applet.
It doesn't include window buttons, because there is a great applet that does them already. You'd need two of them anyways, so you can position buttons and title differently. And while I seldomly test these settings: This applet is meant to work for non-maximized windows, too. Just have a look at the config.json, that should be quite self-explanatory. I really want to include some graphical configuration, too, though that may or may not happen, based on my spare time and whether I get something that works as I want.
thanks errt. Works great now.
Seems like it's not working with Cinnamon 1.6. :(
Could you go in more detail on that? It works with Cinnamon 1.6 for me. I seem to have a memory leak on Cinnamon 1.6 at least, though. Help for fixing that would be much appreciated, as I currently don't have the time to investigate into that.
Nevermind, it's working on Cinnamon 1.6.7 now. I have a question, is there a way to control the size of text it shows? At the moment it shows part of the window title and then ... even if there is more space in the panel to show more.
Just to be clear, by size of text what I really mean is the number of characters displayed. At the moment the window title seems to get truncated even when there is plenty of space left on the panel to show the entire window title.
On LM14 I still get the same string size problem as described before. I have placed the applet to the most left of the left in the panel. Something like panel1:left:5:titleBar@errt. But if I place it this way even a window with a small name, Nemo on Documents for example, the title bar should read 'Documents' but it only shows "Docu...". On the other hand, if I place the applet in the center of the panel (panel1:right:0:titleBar@errt) it displays "Documents" correctly. The same happens with all windows, no matter how small or large the window title is.
