Taskbar previews

Postby dedanna1029 » 13 Jun 2012, 22:24

Clickety-click, and look at the bottom left, in the taskbar. As you can see, when IE is hovered over in the taskbar in Windows 7, up pops preview of what is on each tab, that are clickable, so one can go directly to the tab they want to, if they have their window minimized:

Is there a way to do this in Gnome 3 Linux?

Thanks.

Yes! Install PanelDocklet13.
There you can set it under "Overal" settings

It's up to v14 now. Am going to give that a go. Thanks. :)

Sorry, had to turn it back off. All I need is the previews solely, and I have everything on my taskbar just the way I want it. This thing takes up half my panel, and I don't want or need another one. It doesn't place where I tell it to either. If I tell it "End", it goes to the middle. If I tell it "Middle", it goes to the opposite side. When I finally got it to place right, it went right over my applications menu, and I can't click the menu or anything else in its area.

Keep in mind, that this is for the netbook - I only have so much screen (and panel) real estate.

Thanks, though.
