Hi Yury, I have just thoroughly checked the feature. Please check my response to message sent by Charles Philip Chan. In short, the docked appicon is still an appicon and it acts as it has never been docked. I suppose this is the correct behavior not matter how unintuitive it might look to us. There is a huge possibility that some people rely on this. That's why I have proposed (similar to your idea) to add another option in the window attributes window which would (not by default) change the behavior of the docked appicon in order to make it possible to use docked appicon in more intuitive way. Subsequent double clicks on the docked appicons would also be much easier to use on tablets as you wouldn't have to open a menu to "launch" another instance of the application. Not to mention that you usually can't combine CTRL and double click on touch display which are these days more and more common. -- Josip Deanovic -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
