taskbar-plugin

How does this plugin work ? What is the differenсe between that plugin and tasklist plugin ?
I already posted my idea, so, i repeat it in another form: could you add functionality to these into the taskbar or tasklist plugin of:
1) show window list on group button mouse over
2) add close button to the window list buttons when groupping mode enabled.
This behavior is similar to the windows 7 superbar or dockbarx.

Re: taskbar-plugin

I mean something like this on mouse over.
There are examples from xfce and windows 7. Not the context menu, but only the additional behavior for event mouse move(enter/over).
P.S.: I speak english very simple and badly..

Re: taskbar-plugin

Also i review the gtk api and the code of that plugins. Think that you can do this by using gtk-tooltip-set-custom in xfce_taskbar_group_button_new

Re: taskbar-plugin

show window list on group button mouse over

A tooltip will be useful, but what I am really missing is an indicator that several windows of a same application are opened. For example, in dockbarx, if you have 4 terminals opened, you will see a "4" number over the terminal icon; using taskbar or tasklist plugins (with grouping activated), you have to click on the icon to get this information.
(Sorry for my english)
