Allows you to quickly hide the top-most maximized window just by middle-mouse clicking anywhere on the TOP PANEL (not the top bar of a window). Advantages: 1. You can hide windows more quickly (in a reflex, requiring less accuracy). 2. You can hide windows by using just your peripheral vision and 1% of your focus while your eyes are already elsewhere on the screen. 3. You can hide ALL maximized windows, even those that don't have a top bar. 4. You can hide a maximized window even if it's BEHIND multiple unmaximized windows) Sometimes windows APPEAR to be maximized but aren't, which can cause trouble for some people. Use the extension "Truly Maximized Windows" to fix that. Bonus: this works well in conjunction with the Tweaks setting to hide any window when middle-mouse clicking the top bar of a window. Added but still under review: Settings window to support option to hide ANY window, not just maximized windows. This extension supports multi-monitors in the sense that it actively(!) does not hide any window that is not on the primary monitor. PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW. Any critique / suggestion is welcome.
