Minimized Windows not Showing Up On Panel - mdiemer - 01-28-2019

When I minimize a windows, shouldn't it be shown on the bottom panel? So you can click on it to bring it up?
It's not happening on my setup. I often "lose" windows that way, and have to keep hitting alt + tab to find them again.

Thanks,

Mike

Screenshot please.

Screenshot really doesn't show anything, just a normal desktop.

I just discovered the middle-click setting under Desktop Settings, so now I can see and choose between the applications I have opened. Still, it would be nice to see them on the panel, so I could click on them there. Maybe there's a way to do that; I'll keep searching (at the risk of screwing things up again Wink

Try rightclick on panel/panel preferences/Items/ select Window buttons/ Edit selected item
The setting might be in there! I'm on LL3.8 though and haven't tried changing any settings in case I 'mess it up'.

When you go to Panel Preferences, click on the Items tab and make sure you see the entry "Window Buttons" as seen in my screenshot below.  If it is not there, click on the plus (+) symbol to the right and add it (ie. Window Buttons).
