README

Multi-line taskbar applet for Cinnamon (Linux Mint)

This is a clone of the original Cinnamon applet that adds support for a multi-line taskbar.

Installation

Download the applet and install to ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/
Go to Menu > Cinnamon Settings > Applets
Ensure applet 'Cinnamon Multi-Line taskbar' is present
Uncheck the default 'Cinnamon Window List'
Enable applet 'Cinnamon Multi-Line taskbar'
Go to Menu > Cinnamon Settings > Panel
Check 'Use customized panel size'
Set bottom height to something around 35-70 pixels (depending on your theme and number of rows for the taskbar)

Configuring the applet

File applet.js contains two constants: TASKBAR_ROW_COUNT and MIN_BUTTONS_PER_LINE
Restart Cinnamon to see the changes

Known issues

Drag-and-Drop (reorder) functionality of the bottom bar might not work

Oh, I see now. The recent updates have all been just language translation additions.

I'm very confused by the lack of updates and archiving of the GitHub repository, while the applet was just updated on 2025-09-28. Was there actually an update or not?

I'm not seeing 'Use customized panel size' in Panel settings. I do see a "Customize" section with a slider from 20 to 60px.

I suspect that the "Use customized panel size" was some old option that was replaced with the "Panel height" slider that we see is recent versions of Cinnamon. This extension is quite old now so the instructions are very dated.

After installing, I can only add it to one of my two panels.
