Designers seem to have declared war on minimizing. Elementary OS and Gnome even removed the minimize-button. Many want to make the PC more like Android and eliminate the difference between close and minimize. After close the state is preserved in memory for quick reopen. We see that music apps keep on playing when closed.
I have nothing against that. But the PC differs form a phone and tablet because it can show many windows in the same time. What I find annoying is that when I open a new app, I have to hide the other window manually not to have a cluttered interface. I find it distracting when pieces of other windows are sticking out. I would want to suggest a more profound solution: I call it AUTOMINIMIZE ============================================================================= Whenever an app is opened hide all other visible windows automatically! Of course this is not always wanted, and that is why I suggest to change the minimize app in a pin-app to prevent it from hiding. I would also like this behaviour when changing apps with alt-tab or dock. ============================================================================= Only show the apps that is called. To make it perfect you could make some apps pinned by default. This way we do not need to minimize any more and this would also work fine on a mobile devices as well. Witch is important as Ubuntu is pursuing to , create a unified interface for mobile devices and desktops. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
