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.
Nothing like this on Windows and Linux
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 ?
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.
Try 4t Tray Minimizer Free. I’ve been using it for years now without any problems on Win10. It will hide any window in the task bar.
Under Linux you have a plethora of choices for your desktop manager.
I chose to install KDE Plasma (because I don’t like GNOME aesthetics – personal taste). There are icons in the title bar similar to MacOS.
Not a Gramps window because I have damaged my desktop computer; however the icons are the same.
Hello Patrice,
The problem you’re encountering with Linux Mint is likely a system configuration issue, especially if you’re using Linux Mint Debian Edition, as Debian does not provide the three classic options (minimize/restore/maximize) by default. If you’re using the GNOME interface, you’ll need to go to “Tweaks” from memory.
Like pgerlier, I use KDE Plasma (my distribution is KDE Neon 6.6), which is more customizable.
Attached is a brief overview.
