Task list on multiple rows - option to arrange horizontally before vertically #50

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When using a horizontal panel with a window list, if the panel is high enough 
then the windows will be listed on more than one row.  In this case, the window 
list is arranged vertically before it is arranged horizontally.  That is, the 
second window is listed below the first window, not to the right of it.  And 
the third window is listed below the second.  So you first get a column of 
windows listed on the left.

On some other systems the window list is arranged horizontally before it is 
arranged vertically, so you first get a row of windows listed at the top.  It 
would be nice if lxpanelx supported this behaviour, perhaps as an option.  

Maybe it would be better (perhaps particularly for people with right-to-left 
languages) to make the option even more flexible, with options so that the 
windows could be arranged
- downwards and then left to right
- downwards and then right to left
- left to right and then downwards
- right to left and then downwards
- perhaps even upwards rather than downwards... would anyone actually want this?
