how to gnome panel have two rows

[duruttye]

Hey there!

I always have to many windows opened and at some point is is hard to make out which one is what I'm looking for.

Is there a way to make the panel hold the windows list in two rows?

Thanks!

Im not so sure about using the default window list panel applet, but I do know that there is a "Window Selector" applet that you could add to the panel. This pops down a list of all of the windows open for you to use.

Alternatively, you could use an application dock; Docky is very good at managing many windows at once- I have a pic attached with an example, it lists individual apps, then popups allow you to pick individual windows from the applications there.

Well, it looks pretty good, I will definitely try that out. And it takes up much less space.

Thank you!!

You simply have to make your panel large enough to fit two rows. The Window List applet will use two or more rows if it only has room to do that.

In other words, the panel width must be twice your font size+button padding (or more).

I would still like to know if there is a way to do it with stock gnome.

I tried that, but the workspace selector was so huge, it took up almost half of the panel size...

It would be nice to make only the panel larger not the icons on it.

Thank you!

You could move the workspace selector to a different panel
