Hi,
You will probably get a better response if you ask at the window list
github repository[0].
Re the feature requestion about min/max/close buttons, I wrote some code
for that extension to do this, here's the corresponding pull request/issue
(waiting for siefkenj to tweak it) [1].
Re grouping buttons, I'm fairly sure there is an option to set this right
up the top of the code in extension.js:
const OPTIONS = {
....
GROUP_BY_APP: true // <---
};
I think the overall thing to remember is patience! In general those who
write extensions are doing so on their own free time, and certainly for me
there's very little of that lying around (I have to take leave if I want
the time to work on my extensions, because I have too many other things to
do!). And as something that's a hobby rather than a job, the dev certainly
isn't obliged to actively develop/maintain the extension.
Also, sometimes the dev writes an extension to fix a little thing that has
been niggling them, but is not necessarily interested in maintaining the
extension (they adjust their workflow and no longer wish to modify the
behaviour, they switch shells, or like me you're *still* on 3.2 at work so
no need to write for later versions, ...)
If you don't like window list because it doesn't quite suit your needs
(grouping by application etc), perhaps you could try some of the other
similar extensions on e.g.o? panel-docklet, frippery bottom panel, there's
one like window list but shows icons instead, there's numerous
task-bar-like extensions, ... (try searching window or dock or panel or bar
and you'll get a whole host of options).
Good luck!
