Hello everybody:

As you obviously know you can use /change your desktops when using zorin.

I find it really useful for my work, but I wanna find a program / icon that working in the task bar indicates me in which icon I stay at this moment, and permit me change to the desired one without see the rest.

Does this icon exist???

THANKS IN ADVANCE

HAVE A NICE DAY

Hi,

see this guide and the parts about adding applets to the panel, add "sudo apt-get install awn-applets-all" per the guide and look at the 3rd photo down, it explains what to do there:

I use "SlickSwitcher" myself!!.

If you want to add an open app to the panel, simply click on its icon in the panel once it is open and then on "Pin Application".

Regards Wolfman :)

Of course, I could be wrong! :D

Hi Swarf,

if you are right, then I don't think it is possbile, he can of course do what I said about using a desktop switcher!!.
