[SOLVED] Window list, or launcher? Open window icons missing on panel,

Post by ineuw »

In this latest version of LM Cinnamon 20.1 The left launcher next to the Menu button is a 'Windows list' applet, and the open windows' icons are no longer displayed on the panel. Also, after adding a launcher to the right side of the panel, apps I added and ended up on the Windows list/Launcher cannot be moved over to the new launcher.

Where can I find info on how to manage the changes?

I don't quite understand what you mean, can you share some screenshots to show us?

Please don't blame yourself. My post was just as incomprehensible to me, even though everything written was experienced. I failed at recalling a years old previous experience and consult my notes. sudo apt install --reinstall cinnamon -y resolved the issue. Everything is as it should be. The panel was corrupt. My apologies.

@ ineuw

I can well sympathize with you; as long as the panel behavior is not back in the classic mode and the icons are set to Mint-X, I feel like I'm sitting in front of a (self) broken system... :lol:
