Window Applets 0.2.10, Released

Window Applets is a package that comes with two Gnome panel applets: Window Title and Window Buttons which are basically controls for windows that are placed on the Panel instead of the window. They provide a clever way to increase vertical screen space.

New features / changes in Window Applets 0.2.10:

• Disabled applet hiding by default (it was causing confusion with new users)
• Added option to override button orientation (automatic/default, horizontal and vertical)
• Added option to reverse button order
• Updated themes: Ambiance-Maverick, Radiance-Maverick (thank you Cierreics)
• Saturate title icon and darken text on inactive
• Select a more apropriate non-custom title text color
• Added options to set both active and inactive font/color
• Added experimental option to show window action menu on title right click. Warning: Overrides applet menu over title.

To install Window Applets 0.2.10 in Ubuntu, you can use the WebUpd8 PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-window-applets

Then, right click the Gnome Panel, select "Add to panel" and add "Window Title" and "Window Buttons".
