Can you clarify whether you're talking about the widget literally named "Window List"? And would you mind explaining the use case? Hi Nate, Sure, I can clarify. The Window List widget is somewhat hover active now, but only in the sense that when you hover your mouse pointer over it, it lights up and displays: "Window List" and "Show open windows in a menu" This is very functional and my preferred task manager. But, I could see a small tweak to it where when you hover the mouse pointer over it, it pops up with a menu of the list of actual windows that are open, instead of having to click on it first. For example right now I have two Firefox windows open, the Thunderbird app, and the Thunderbird write function all which show up in a detailed description when I click on the Window List. What I am proposing is just to have that list appear when you hover the mouse on it.
