Yet Another Window List *** taskbar (current/all workspaces, favorite apps, icons reordering saved across reboots, advanced app-specific menus, Quicklists, blinking attention, changing workspace by scrolling over task bar etc.) *** window indicators and thumbnails + "window peeking" (preview window by scrolling over its thumbnail) *** lots of settings + much more. --- What's new (UR = under review, use link above to install manually) --- v17: GNOME Shell 3.10.3 compatibility. Additional option to show "skip-taskbar" windows. Visual icons alignment on the panel. v14-v16: Focus on user experience. GNOME Shell 3.10 compatibility. Updated German, Russian and Ukrainian translations. v9-v13: Favorite apps (optionally smaller icons when not running). Show (optionally) icons from all workspaces. Reorder icons using mouse (the order is automatically saved). Windows demanding attention. Window indicators. Scrolling over panel to change workspace. Search app's windows on other workspaces: scroll over app's icon while its thumbnails are shown. Advanced right-click menus. Turn (optionally) thumbnails off. Additional click options: quit, show next and minimize if single window. Advanced/basic settings. Reset all settings. Improved animation, responsiveness and performance, including support for smooth scroll and preventing multiple scroll events. If you keep up with the latest GitHub version, just run "install-extension yawl" to update after pull. You need some dev-libraries installed. Please consult README.md for further details. The extension works out-of-the-box but provides many settings to adjust its look/behavior: rearrange task bar to give icons more space, change sizes, colors, animation, customize mouse actions etc. No settings require GNOME Shell restart: adjust it all in real time. You can also export/import settings to back up, sync or share. Default mouse actions include (see/adjust all mouse actions in preferences): 1) Window Thumbnails: - Scroll up/down: Window Peeking ON/OFF + change thumbnails opacity - Left click: focus window - Middle click: maximize/restore window - Right click (or Shift+left click): minimize window 2) App Icons: - Scroll: change workspace (if thumbnails are shown: stick to app) - Left click: show app's top / next window - Shift+left click (double click): minimize top (all) app window(s) - Right click: show app menu The first time you install the extension it welcomes you with preference dialog. Extension is translation-ready (please consult YAWL GitHub's wiki for further details). Please report problems and suggestions here or on GitHub.

Well, the question is... do we need "Yet another window list"? We tend to avoid duplicates whenever possible, and there already two TaskBar extensions (mostly like yours), plus the classic mode window-list and the bottom panel from frippery.
I should probably update the description for this extension. It is not a substitute. First, it has previews for windows: the feature that is not there in the other window lists you mentioned. Second, it is highly customizable, and uses the Gnome-Shell preferences in full. And, finally, I do not think that this is a reason for rejection. There are not-rejected extensions that are literally duplicates of others. And this one is in no sense a duplicate of any other extension. I have been already working on it for 4 months, and wrote it with all recommendations on writing extensions I could find. It accurately creates objects in enable, and destroys them in disable, etc. But if you find something wrong in code, please, let me know.
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/588/taskbar/ has thumbnails, and so does https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/584/taskbar/ And yes, being a duplicate of other extensions has been a reason for rejection in the past. I'm sorry you already did the work, but once again, the same work was already there, you could just collaborate on the existing code, which is free and everything.

Hi, I do not want to argue about this. The TaskBar extension is a different extension. Once again, this one has thumbnails, window previews on moues over, you can customize literally everything you need: the look of icons and preview thumbnails, the mouse click commands, the animation, etc.
Description updated.
Well, whatever. I'm sorry but this extension is unreviewable, so maybe there was a reason the other did not have all the "functionality"... There is nothing obvious either, so I hope it doesn't blow up.
