Underrated project. #2

God I love this project, I have been looking for a windows like applet for linux mint for so long. I can fianlly have all my applications linked to one single taskbar, and not have them disappear if my application is on a another screen. This repo needs some serious SEO so more ppl can find it.

Also I was wonder if this is still a active project, as the last release was from last year.

I have stopped making releases on Github for this applet since I have pushed the applet to cinnamon-spices:

https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/372

So now CassiaWindowList can be found in the list of downloadable applets in the Applets tool from within Mint (or any distro using Cinnamon).

I am now using this Github repository to do development work on the applet and hopefully get some testing done by others before I push the new changes to cinnamon-spices. So if you are interested in having the absolute latest work done for this applet then you can clone this repository, if not then it's best to just use the Applet tool to install CassiaWindowList from within Cinnamon.

Yes, it's active, I just pushed a change yesterday. I think it's working just about how I envisioned when I starting working on it about 2 years ago, so I don't expect a ton of new work, but I guess that depends on what kind of response I get from users and if I get any interesting feature request or I think of something that I would like for myself.

I can finally have all my applications linked to one single taskbar, and not have them disappear if my application is on a another screen.

The ability to show windows from one monitor on a window-list in another monitor is a feature of Cobiwindowlist (and likely others, but I have not checked) so I can't take any credit for that.

In any case, I am glad you like the applet. If you want to to encourage me to continue working on it and help others find it, you can "Like" it on Github and cinnamon-spices (link above) which will help make it more easily found by others. Thanks!
