Window Controls Next (Foundry VTT v13+)

Window Taskbar and Window Buttons: Minimize and Pin floating Windows to a top or bottom taskbar. Updated for Foundry VTT v13+.

Features

Taskbar (Top/Bottom)

Dock a fixed taskbar above or below the Foundry UI. It nudges the UI and canvas resizes correctly.

• Taskbar appearance is configurable, including taskbar background color and taskbar scrollbar color.

Taskbar Buttons

Taskbar buttons are sorted (pinned first, then type, then title), show a tooltip with the full title, and support hover preview.

When there are too many buttons, the taskbar button strip scrolls horizontally and shows a thin scrollbar.

Minimize

Adds a minimize button to supported sheets. Minimize is instant: the sheet is hidden and represented by a taskbar button.

Pin

Pin a sheet so it stays available on the taskbar and can optionally be restored across sessions.

• Pinned sheet header appearance is configurable, including header overlay color that also affects the taskbar button color.

Quick view on hover

Hover your mouse over a minimized window tab for a quick view of the sheet without reopening it.

Remember Pinned Windows

When enabled, pinned sheets are remembered by Document UUID and restored on next load.
