Easter Egg: Hiding Windows/Dialogs of Gramps

[PLegoux]

Something else that would be nice is to have a button next to the windows close button to minimize and maximize windows. When you have several open on a small screen and you want to look for something else, it can be difficult to move everything around.

Isn’t this the same as every windowing system has? On macOS it looks like this:

It seems to work fine. If I click the yellow dot it minimizes the window. If I click the same dot on the underlying window - even that it is greyed - it minimizes both windows.

Nothing like this on Windows and Linux

I don’t know about other versions of Linux, but on Debian 13 I see these choices when I right-click on a window:

I admit I’ve never tried right-clicking in the bar, it would never have occurred to me!

But anyway, it doesn’t work. I have tons of windows open here (Linux Mint), I can’t minimize them:

I never thought to try cright-click either.

There’s no Minimize.. but there is a Hide. The Restore is by selecting from the Gramps’ Windows → Gramplet submenu ?

[PLegoux]

I don’t have/see a hide option either

On the Gnome desktop you can customise this functionality in the “Windows” tab of the Tweaks tool. I think that the “Minimize” button is not shown by default.

Interesting!

Here’s Fedora 37 with Gnome 43
