 EXCELLENT! Buuuuuuuuuuuuut....

Could I request/reccommend these features?

1) add support for minimize/maximize (perhaps using mouse scroll over title?)

2) variable length of applet? Programs like firefox will have multiple lines, which looks ugly on a small panel.

nearly the same name as this one : http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/ActiveWindow+Control?content=91258 (not sure if this is really a problem)

I'm the original author of ActiveWindow Control but I don't maintain it anymore.

I think this is merely a port/recreation of your plasmoid? As it is a Plasma 5 plasmoid, and not a KDE 4 plasmoid, as well it lacks many of the features yours has.

Thanks for the point with the "almost same name". I wasn't aware of the other widget. My intention was to recreate this one: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Yet+Another+Window+Control?content=139916

But I realize in both cases I have to add much more features. I'm planning to look into that this weekend.

Also thanks for the requests/recommendations. I will be adding these features soon. What exactly did you mean by the mouse scroll over the widget?

Well I was thinking, if you want to create a simple, minimal widget, you could make it so that if your scroll up whilst the cursor is over the applet, it will maximize the window and the opposite will minimize it.

I see, thanks for this suggestion. I've done these changes to the version 1.1. But all this can be disabled.

If I could offer another suggestion, add an option to use varying size buttons? Best to me would be to add an option to make buttons the same size as the title font. On a small horizontal panel, those buttons are tiny, and thus hard to press. and another thing is a minor bug, but when I mouse over the applet, the buttons form over the title of the open application rather than to the left of it. I personally like the idea of the buttons pushing the title to the size when they appear but I doubt that that will be easy to code in. It is your applet after all. keep up the good work :D

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the support for installing this widget to panel over Plasma Panel Settings -> Add Widgets... -> Get New Widgets -> Download New Plasma Widgets? If this is the case, could you please point me to the right documentation/tutorial?

well plasma has a nice feature , that it's called plasma shell console , where you can use javascript to script plasma and so ... add widgets and configure them

for example open the console with this :

qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.showInteractiveConsole

then add the code

http://paste.ofcode.org/qy4ap6Hy3hx7jcRhEvPybi

and click on execute it should appear a new panel with your widget but unluckly the configuration is not read so i guess you need to tweak a little bit the code

i guess youi need to read this

 Question about future plans

Do you have any plan to perhaps add optional menubar support on mouseover? Similar to Unity's titlebar applet?

It also crossed my mind to add some kind of unity-like menu (or menu button for that purpose). But first I need to figure out how to do that :-) It will be definitely the next bigger think I'll look into for this widget.

And to your previous comment: Thanks for your feedback. I will try to set the buttons' size more appropriately. But I really don't know about the "pushing" the title aside while showing up the buttons. It would be too jumpy-looking in my opinion. But maybe if I have time I give it a try.

Yes it probably would be. To be honest I think the best option would just be to have an option to a) statically post the buttons and to B) have the buttons size be as tall as the text.

 Add setting to choose line limit/character limit?

Okay so like, if you are browsing the web, the page titles can get pretty wordy, so it is possible to add a tickbox to put it so that after so many words, it just trails off with ellipses?

It is already there. I mean the automatic ellipsis. But it seems QT component "Text" is not perfect and does not handle long non-spaced strings so they are overflowing... Maybe it will be fixed in future versions of QT or maybe I misconfigured the Text component. Can anybody see what have I done wrong?

Anyway I should probably implement some workaround...

Sorry, my bad. I was using [wrapMode: Text.WordWrap] instead of [wrapMode: Text.Wrap]. Now it should be fixed.

Wouldn't this just cause it to wrap into the next line? It already does this and it is this exact behaviour I am trying to avoid, as I use this applet on a very thin panel and it comes out extremely ugly when it happens.

My bad again. There is a mechanism to limit number of rows in text based on panel height, too. But now I see that for really thin panel it doesn't work. I will provide a fix later this day. Thanks for reporting bugs btw:)

No problem, Plasma needs good extensions, and this is the first 3rd party one that is of any use to me :D
