Put maximize/minimize buttons on Top Bar #6

Hi

I am using this extension on a touch screen laptop (ASUS VivoBook S400ca). This helps a lot since this laptop has a pretty low resolution (1366x768). But I have one suggestion to improve this extension.

I use the gnome-tweak-tool to allows title bar to have all three buttons (maximize, minimize and close). It would be great to, when these buttons are active, to put these options on the drop down menu in the Top Bar (the menu that includes the application icon). It already includes an "Exit button" by default, and including maximize and minimize too it would give better integration with the desktop.

Thanks.

You can get simiilar functionality from the Window options extension - it might work alongside MaximusTwo's existing mod of the menu title, If it does not work you can download the extension from here, modify the metadata.json file to include your Gnome version, and then place the complete extension folder in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and enable it (this might work if the extension works with later versions of Gnome, but just hasn't had the version info updated).

Thanks for your suggestion, its a great idea. This area I am using more for actual problems with the extension, so I will close this for now - suggestions are still welcome though :)
