Make the Window list widget hover active so you do not have to click on it.

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.

Cheers,

Doug
