[Question] is it possible to hide the applet instead of collapsing? #50

Hi, I have enabled the option " Show when Active window is maximized" and the applet collapses when I don't have a maximized window. I wanted to know if it's possible to just hide the buttons keeping the applet's space so the other elements of the panel doesn't have to move.

Thanks, you are doing a great job.

It is not but I would like to see some screenshots for what you are trying to achieve

I think he wants the fixed width for the applet in all cases.

Yeah I know, but I can't imagine a case that this would be really valued

I have a case where this would be very useful. My top panel uses the window buttons, window title and window appmenu applets. My appmenu replaces the window title when I hoover over it. I have a launcher on the side (unity style) that pushes the appmenu entries out when the window controls are hidden. If the window controls could leave a space behind then my appmenu would work just as well when my window is not maximised. some screenshots:

In my case I have a top bar with the applet next to the systray. So every time that I click in one element of the systray, all the elements of the bar got moved, which is a bit annoying. example

Even when I minimized the windows all the elements I have in the bar are moved in my case I prefer to have them static in the same position.
