[Cuis-dev] Is it possible to collapse the Windows in the old fashioned way (title only) ?

Well, my openbox WM can "roll-up" windows, but I do not use it much.

"Was possible" sounds funny, because this was the only,
thus "mandatory, option.

Would you mind to file issues at github, I am loosing
track of all that tiny, but very useful, proposals.

BTW: How about adding a preference to display the
(abbreviated) window title in the taskbar
instead of the tiny bitmap. I wondered for a very long
time how this tiny bitmaps should be useful,
until I discovered that they different colors of Cuis'
standard theme are very helpful to discriminate the
taskbar's bitmaps.
