This release of the applet contains some bug fixes and cosmetic improvements:

  • Window lists and action lists now have rounded corners and point to their app's icon in the dock. Note: this requires Gtk3 and Python GObject bindings 3.26 or greater - with Gtk2 or with Gtk3 and PyGobject 3.25 or earlier, the old style of window and action lists will continue to be used.
  • The delay before action lists appear when the mouse hovers over a dock icon can now be set in the preferences dialog.
  • Apps can now be pinned to specific workspaces, in other words their app icons only appear in the dock when a particular workspace is active. This allows users to customise the dock for each workspace they use.
  • When unpinning an app a notification is now displayed which allows the operation to be undone and re-pins the app to the dock.
  • A bug has been fixed that would sometimes cause app icons to continually flash.
  • The appearance of progress bars on dock icons has been improved.

Window and action lists

Now look like this:

Action list popup delay

This can now be in the preferences dialog. Here it is set to 0.7 seconds:

Pinning apps to workspaces

The preferences dialog now contains a settings that allows pinned apps to appear in the dock on all workspaces or only on the workspace where they were pinned.
Pinned app workspace settings

Note that when this new setting is used for the first time, the dock will be cleared and it will be necessary to set up the pinned apps as required on each workspace. Once done, these settings will of course be retained. Also note the tip on the dialog box: when pinning apps to specific workspaces it can also be useful to make sure that unpinned apps from other workspaces are not displayed in the dock, and that indicators/window list items from other workspaces are also not displayed.

Unpinning apps

Unpinning an app now displays a notification e.g.:

unpinning notification

If the Undo button is clicked, the app is re-pinned and placed back in the dock at its previous position.

Progress bars

Old progress bars were a bit scruffy looking:
