Open Applications in the green zone

Post by fabtimon »

Hello there,
I really wondering what the green zone is for.
But anyway I found a use case: I want to put the open apps!
I show you a screenshot of my setup, and as you can see, open app icons go next to the Menu button.
Is it possible to put the open app applications in the green zone ?
Thanks for your help!

When I open app :

It's a bit unclear to me what you mean (green zone?) but I have to wonder: do you have any Windows List applet installed? That's usually what shows the open applications on the panel.

Yes sorry, the green zone is actually the middle of the panel, when you are in editing mode, there are 3 zones: blue, green and red.
I never see anything in this green zone, I want to put the open applications if its possible?

Well, I have my Windows List applet in that zone, and it shows the open applications.
So my question remains: do you have any Windows List applet installed?

Yes in the blue zone I have List applet installed. If I add a new one it's going to the blue zone also

So enable the panel edit mode, grab it and move it to the green zone. That's what I did.

It's odd because it did work for me. 🤷
(I don't open Facebook links.)

If you rightclick on an empty space on the panel, just like you do when you want to enter Panel Edit Mode, you should also see Troubleshoot which contains an option to reset all settings to default.

I can see the 'Troubleshoot' in your screenshots above.
