Missing window tabs in taskbar..

[ToFue]

I can't seem to find anything about this in the forums..

After a recent destruction of my /home partition, my revitalized system doesn't display the window tabs.. screenshot included

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf is:

If I understand your problem right, you probably want the 'Window list' applet in the task bar (panel at the bottom).

To get it, right-click on the panel and click on 'Add to panel...'. A list of available applets will appear. Scroll down to find the 'Window list' applet in the list. Select it and press the 'Add' button. The window tabs should now appear in the panel.

I also noticed that both top and bottom panels don't span the entire screen. If it is not intentional, you probably need to check the 'Expand' box in the panel properties (Right-click on panel -> Properties).

That was it, thanks!

as far as the expansion issue, it is checked- I had to drag over the taskbar from the main screen( to the right) to get it in the screenshot- for whatever reason, it didn't snapshot the entire desktop, but only justified to the left screen.. the part you see after the taskbar is actually on my other screen.

And the bottom panel isn't defaulted in Ubuntu_Studio either(Places & System are under the main app menu, too :p )

Thanks for the help! :D

When the taskbar is compressed, there is no place to right click in order to expand the taskbar.

Never mind, I found where to modify it. Right click on left or right boundary double vertical bar
