Consider adding a menu item to list running programs #60

In the old system 7 the running programs were listed in a menu item at the far right which when clicked displayed a list of all running programs. image

The dock takes too much space and the titles of the running programs are hidden unless the user hovers the cursor over the item.

Like the picture in System 7.0 section here: https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/running

I propose to improve this design by having an option to always display this menu item opened as a column at the right most of the screen (to use the right scree border limit). And when set to always be on screen it would become like BeOs here: https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/running image

hello @velissarious. Yes. We want that.

See https://github.com/helloSystem/Menu/issues/21. I think that most of the functionality has already been implemented in the Dock, so it is mainly a matter of porting it into the Menu. Would you like to help implement it?

Closing here, let's continue in the existing issue.
