This is excellent widget. I need it to be smaller to not overlap menubar in qtcreator or tabs in google chrome. So I've commented out text entry in qml, however I will appreciate if you do an option for this.

I love the new button options, they are incredibly sexy. Still waiting on the menubar support though.

Thanks! And about the menu bar - I've investigated a little bit and it seems there is no menubar export support in Plasma 5 yet. I've also didn't see the menu button option in kwin decorations. When this is supported in plasma5/kf5 I think I'll be able to make the menubar support in the widget happening.

This plasmoid looks promising. If you appreciate suggestions:

- Make an optional 'menu' mode, so instead of having iconized buttons within the panel, they can be visualized from a dropdown menu activated by clicking on the title/icon (eventually support the entries from the menu button ?)

- Possibly, set a max cap for the window title (in certain apps - firefox for example - the title string can take a lot of space)

- More space between the icon and text - just for fashion (this is me being an annoying jerk :P)

Keep up the good work!

Hi! Thanks for suggestions!

ad 1) OK this should be doable.
ad 2) I'm not sure I understand. What is cap? What looks bad? Because there already is a logic which decide how many lines of text and how long is the text before it gets short with ellipsis.
as 3) This is simple, I can do that.

A couple suggestions

I'm going to start off with the fact that this is a great widget. It offers functionality I want without being flashy. However there are a couple things I'd like it to do along with a quirk that bugs me.

The Quirks:

1. If I have 'Show only when maximized' and 'Buttons next to icon and text' even when unmaximized it just leaves a blank space to the left of the title.

To remedy this I have to enable both 'Do not hide on mouse out' and 'Sliding icon and text'

2. When I have all those options enabled, it just simply hides the buttons rather than disabling the functionality when your on an unmaximized window.

Current Behavior: If I click anywhere around the far left portion of the widget I could still be unintentionally closing, maximizing, or minimizing my window.

Expected Behavior: Enabling all those options should completely disable those buttons for an unmaximized window and should only work when a window is maximized.

Suggestions:

1. I'd like to be able to click on any part of the panel the widget is a part of and drag to unmaximize a window if it's maximized, like one can do in Unity.

2. I'd like the ability to get the window control context menu when clicking on the application icon.

3. The ability to re-arrange the button layout.
- As an addition maybe adding a pin to all desktops button too.

4. I'm going to go ahead and add another voice for menubar support when KF5/Plasma 5 gets support for it.

Hi, thanks for feedback and suggestions!

ad Quirks: If I understand it right the bug to fix is: disable the blank spots (where the buttons will show up for maximized windows) so they don't trigger the action when clicked on. I'll definitely repair this one. Thanks!

Suggestions
ad 1) This is number one for me, too. I was used to it in KDE4 in similar widget. Already tried to implement it but wasn't successful at the time of creation of this widget. Now I've already learnt how to make C++ extensions so it shouldn't be that hard...

ad 2) Regular task manager widget has it so I should be able to do the same.

ad 3) I was lazy to do that but I'll eventually make that happen...

ad 4) I definitely plan to work in the menubar. Like you said - as soon as it is supported in Plasma/KF5.

Widget's Height

I like only using the buttons (no icon, no program's name, etc), problem is that the widget doesn't adjust its height, so i have unpleasant blank space above and below the buttons.

Great work by the way, keep it like that
