Window Buttons Applet v0.1


Welcome a new kid on the block from Latte land... !

Window Buttons Applet presents its first release to the public. I always wanted to be able to make my top panel to behave as a window titlebar whenever it is needed. To achieve this some special applets are needed and of course specific behavior from the top panel.

Appets:
- Application name and icon
         (you can find some in the kde store)
- Global menu
         (official plasma applet is perfect for this)
- Window Buttons
         (it was missing so now you can welcome it)

Top Panel Behavior:
- Drag active window by dragging the empty space of the panel
         (Latte Git version supports this by default)
- Double-click on the empty space of the panel it maximizes/restore the active window
         (Latte Git version supports this by default)
