Description ba.tahaaziz 2021-07-20 18:49:08 UTC 
SUMMARY
Currently, the Present Windows feature's activation is not apparent when only when program is running, and that program is maximized. Activating Present Windows in this case, does not apply a gap as it usually does, and it does not darken the desktop.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open only one program
2. Activate Present Windows

OBSERVED RESULT
It's almost difficult, if not impossible to tell whether Present Windows has been activated or not when icons, titles, and the close button are hidden/disabled.

EXPECTED RESULT
Present Windows should take into account the case when only one program is running and that program is maximized, and should apply the usual effects.

It should darken the panel. But yeah, it could make the window a bit smaller too.
