Description Mathieu Jobin 2004-07-25 18:24:36 UTC
Version:           3.2.91 (using KDE 3.2.91 (CVS >= 20040706), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdk

maybe a separate applet should be created.
but i think lots of people is using the window list button in the top right corner of their screen.
I'd like the button to show the currently focused application (icon and short title)
just like in MacOS9

and when we select another app, a bigger list would be appreciate.
bigger icons, or simply a graphical eye candy list of app.

I would like this too. This is how I use the window list.
Comment 4 Mathieu Jobin 2005-01-31 19:03:53 UTC
baghira style/theme has something shipped with it...
just need to be polished and integrated.

Comment 5 Baris Metin 2005-08-23 14:28:27 UTC
I've also proposed somethink like that and prepared a patch[1]. But it isn't accepted. So either we should close the bug (WONTFIX) or think about it once more.

Kicker is currently unmaintained, you can look to your distribution for help, however.
