Description: This is a Plasma 5 applet that shows window buttons in your panels. This plasmoid is coming from Latte land but it can also support Plasma panels.
------ To install it you should build yourself, installing it from Plasma Widgets Explorer directly wont work.
Qt elements: Gui Qml Quick KF5 elements: CoreAddons Declarative Plasma PlasmaQuick -------- You can use: sh install.sh , in order to install it if you have previous development packages availableLast changelog:
Version 0.11.0
* support Plasma 5.24 way of discovering themes from theme engines * hide when preserveemptyspace is selected
Will this app have a version for plasma 6? My Garuda forced entry to plasma 6. But this add-on is more important to me than plasma 6. Now I'm unable to use it... 😐
2The documentation lists necessary packages, yet when you install them and then run the install script on a clean Kubuntu 22.04.2, you get an error that cmake is missing, showing the attention to detail by the dev. When you finally install everything, you get an error that you lack org.kde.appletdecoration but googling shows that this error is basically exclusive to this applet and there's no hint on the internet on how to install the missing thing. This thing is completely useless and its documentation is rubbish.
Got the same issue after upgrading to Plasma 5.27 recently:
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.windowbuttons/contents/ui/main.qml:26:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module "org.kde.appletdecoration": Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/appletdecoration/libappletdecorationplugin.so: (libkdecorations2private.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
I'm having a problem with this plasmoid. When I open Dolphin, settings, libreoffice and other programs their title bar doesn't show, I have to press the maximize button on the plasmoid to make the title bar appear. Any way to fix it?
I noticed that after turning off my pc and turning on the next day the position I put the buttons (left position of the screen) they went right along with other applications (use two bars), this was expected to happen or do I need something else?
Hi, is there a way to selectively hide the panel buttons for certain apps? For example Firefox or VS Code already have window buttons in the panel which cannot be merged with the top bar, and therefore don't need to be duplicated in the panel.
Help I can't install it. I get this error:

You need to enable bordeless maximized windows. If you are using Latte : https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/TipsAndTricks#Can_I_have_different_Borderless_Maximized_windows_options_between_different_layouts.3F if you are using only plasma panels you need to enable this in KWin, you can search the internet for the relevant command.
Probably occasional hard disk usage. There is a workaround in the applet that recreates the internal decoration and buttons at some cases. The last days I finally found the related bug in Breeze,Oxygen decorations etc. and I sent patches that were accepted. The fix is part of Plasma Desktop 5.23.2 , afterwards I will release a new 0.10.1 version without that workaround. I believe that freezes afterwards will disappear, give it one more try then...
hello, this widget has a bug in latte panel and using wayland graphic server, when opening volume control, networks, calendar or any notification area app, the widget activates the minimize button, is there a way to solve this problem?

6 It was exactly what I was looking for. Annoying because it doesn't work with Edge Browser
I noticed that after turning off my pc and turning on the next day the position I put the buttons (left position of the screen) they went right along with other applications (use two bars), this was expected to happen or do I need something else?
Solved!
I don't understand. How do I enable and configure this widget?
Figured it out myself. Confused by the inscription Late Dock.

Decorations disappeared in Plasma 5.23.90 KDE Frameworks version 5.90.0 QT Version 5.15.5
Hey, how do I do to make the buttons from the maximized window removed ? because they are on the panel

when i use this extension i suffer from mini freezing of everything on panels. does anyone know why?

thank you very much
Crashing latest version of plasma 5.22 and Latte-Dock constantly.
