Brilliant!
I also see you didn't forget to add the gconf schemas to postinstall. Marvelous.

Thank you again! I will add the packages to downloads too as soon as I get the Ubuntu builds from Scott. :) - Nov 19 2010

Global Menu serves an entirely different purpose than Window Applets. If that kind of functionality is what you were looking for then Window Applets were not for you in the first place. - Nov 15 2010

Well, this works, but it's not the approach I'm taking. For the next version I made it so that you do not need to set the maximum width, it just uses the space it has available and no more. I'm still having some trouble with the "Expand" option, because it has to be on all the time for this to work and I need a way to simulate the off mode. When I get this working, I'll probably push out the new release. - Nov 02 2010

I am aware of this. If you look at the TODO list you will see:
- WTA: Make sure applet does not exceed initial width.
Hopefully the feature will be ready for the next release. - Oct 30 2010

I know, but it's not Emerald's bug. It's because of bad Compiz design. I've talked to developers and they actually don't wanna fix it because it's "too difficult". :/ - Oct 18 2010

If you still don't see it I suggest you load the default reflection image. It's much more clear there. - Oct 16 2010

I would love to, but I am not the one who makes the builds. You should talk to the person who did (his gnome-look username is reeve or click the link to his launchpad PPA).

Canvas the images with transparency at the bottom so that they are the same height as your panel (21px in Ubuntu 10.10 and 22px in previous versions). - Oct 14 2010
Window Applets

Gnome Extensions by holodeck 376 comments

1) I will probably add a way to limit the window title.
2) This has been discussed many times before. It is extremely difficult to do because it would require a GNOME theme parser (which is far more complex than the applets themselves). If someone can code it I will add the feature, but otherwise the themes stay. Another option is adding the code to export the button images from GNOME, which would be better but would require arguing with the developers. - Oct 14 2010

I'm preparing to include your new "Radiance" theme in the applets by default, but I think I found a problem. Is it just me or is the "close-clicked.png" image wrong?

Hmm, good point. I've never tested it on multiple monitors before.

Alright, with ljrmorgan's help I've been able to locate the source of the problem.
None of you have Compiz installed.
But nothing to worry about - I will fix it in the next version so that you do not need it. - Aug 09 2010

Window Applets rely on libwnck to get the proper window information.
I am positive the problem lies within that library, so you should submit a bug report against it.
I will however test xmonad just in case, when I have some time. - Aug 06 2010

Window Applets

Gnome Extensions by holodeck 376 comments

Yes I understand. There is a good reason why this is only possible with Compiz.
The problem is that Metacity does not have an option to hide the decoration like Compiz does. It can still be done on a lower level, but it is extremely problematic because then one of the applets (which one? buttons or title?) will have to take control over Metacity. And then if you remove the applet while the title is hidden, it will not come back.
The only proper way to do this would be to add a gconf option to Metacity (just like Compiz has one). Which means we need to talk to Metacity developers.

Someone actually made a patch for window applets (you can find it on page 6 of the comments), but it is very hack-ish, and will cause problems. - Jul 15 2010

It is extremely difficult to get the proper "images" from the current system theme. This is why I added theme selection in the first place.
I've tried getting the system images before, but it just didn't work all the time. If someone can find me a reliable way to do it then I will gladly implement it.

The themes are stored in /usr/share/windowbuttons/themes - Jul 01 2010

Scott's latest packages are meant for Ubuntu 10.04, because it has different dependencies.
You should either upgrade Ubuntu or try using a different version from Scott's PPA (I think 0.2.5 should do). - Jun 27 2010

And here it is. Took me all night to find what was causing that damn bug.
Turns out they changed something in the latest WNCK library that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 or perhaps in Compiz, so it wasn't really my bug. Either way, I had to work around it, and it should work now. Please test. - Jun 25 2010

Gnome Extensions by holodeck 376 comments

This is already in the TODO list. The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I'm trying to avoid having to use a "max width". I want it to be set automatically. However it is starting to look like a GTK limitation and I will probably be forced to use max width. - May 25 2010
Window Applets

Gnome Extensions by holodeck 376 comments

Oh, I see. Well I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. Could be some distro-specific conflict.

Anyway, try installing CCSM (CompizConfig Settings Manager), running it and enabling "Window Decorations".
In there you should find an option called "Decoration windows". It should contain this: "!(state=maxvert | maxhorz)" (without the quotes) - May 24 2010

From FAQ:

Q: How do I hide the window decorations on maximized windows so that it looks like in the screenshots?

Hmmm. It's probably because I'm using Ubuntu on the desktop, and you're using it on the laptop (or netbook). Ubuntu has different theme definitions for those.
