Here's what I'm talking about. When I have several applications open on my screen, my bottom panel has a button for each application on the panel. When 6 or 7 things are open, the panel is pretty much filled with the buttons for all of those items. On my buddies machine with MX / XFCE, for every open item on the desktop there's a button that's just the size of the application symbol. In other words, for Firefox he just has another FF symbol, except that it also has the function of a standard Mint / XFCE panel button ... minimize, maximize, right click context menu. When he has 4 or 5 items open on the desktop, all of those items take up the space of just one of my Mint / XFCE buttons. I really like the amount of panel space that's saved with those symbols, as opposed to rectanguar long buttons.
I think Windows7 has the same thing, just another symbol for each open item on the desktop.
Does anyone know if this is standard to XFCE, just hidden somewhere? And if so, can anyone point me in the right direction so that I can turn my current long rectangular buttons into those much smaller symbol types? I don't want to change panels, since MX just has regular XFCE panels too. I just want to be able to get those symbol/buttons ...
