Changes in this version:

Fix for improved matching of binary packaged apps on Gentoo.

Amended README.me to include the availability of an overlay for the applet on Gentoo.

Corrected position of window lists on non-expanded panels.

Fix for window list flickering on bottom aligned panels on MATE Gtk3

Increased the delay before window lists are shown when the mouse hovers over an app icon. It was 0.5 seconds, and is now 1 second.

Shortened pin/unpin window list text. It now says 'Pin ' rather than 'Pin to the dock', and the Unpin text is similarly shortened.

Fixed a bug that would cause Pin/Unpin actions to act upon previously highlighted app icons, rather than the one that is currently highlighted.

When starting to drag an app icon, the window list is now hidden.

The applet can now display progress bars and counts on app icons for apps which support this. See below:

counters and progress bars

This screenshot (taken on Ubuntu Mate 16.10 Alpha 2) shows Firefox downloading a single file, the Cumulus weather app displaying the current temperature, and the Ubuntu software updater installing updates.

A couple of things to note about progress bars and counts:

  • libunity needs to be installed for this new feature to work. Getting libunity on an Ubuntu based distro is easy (and it will probably be installed by default, as is the case with Ubuntu MATE) but its availability may vary on other distros... The applet will still work without problem if libunity is not installed, but obviously will not display counts or progress bars.
  • Firefox needs this extension detailed on OMGUbuntu to display download counts and progress bars.
