Daniel, Sergey, you're right. I didn't realize that minimize could be used by
devs to explicitly hide their apps. In fact, I now think with a dock type shell
like pantheon, where running apps have a persistent icon in the dock (thus
excluding the need for trivial indicators) minimize might be th
I don't think it's a terribly good idea to completely ban minimize while
we're still in a transition period.
I think Plank's current "hide/show" behavior makes sense for now and I'm
not terribly inclined to monkey with it too much for Luna.
We should revisit this in Luna +1 when we're more confid

Why should we? Taking it away is way more work than leaving it in place, so
we'd better spend time
Okay, I think you're right. The dock's the correct place to start. How do you
feel about losing explicit minimize though? Do you guys think you can live
without it?

My main reason for wanting this is to have a way to completely disable the
possibility of minimize, even by clicking on the dock. It will encourage
the user to use only workspaces for managing their windows.
For example, if I am done with a browser window for the time being, but I
want to keep it
Blurring the lines between minimize and close is a good vision that I'd
expect it to face challenges in real life for Luna. While the user
experience with elementary apps should be great, the reality is that the
Luna experience may not be that smooth for many users that depend on more

I think it's currently a bit confusing that
A. There is no minimize button
B. Clicking on the app in Plank minimizes
C. There is no indication that the app is running but minimized
So I think there should be no one-click way to minimize for the user. If a user
is desperately missing t

I can't see the point of that personally. Could you provide an example use

things as they a
