You get used to the dock real quick.

Or just install Elementary Tweaks.




Ironically, the Mac dock that this dock emulates does support both "minimizing" and "hiding" (and always has, as far as I remember).

It's one of those little functionality gaps that keeps people on closed/non-free systems. Is it at least on their roadmap? I'd gladly donate/pay just to get a Mac-like minimize/hide experience.

What's the connection between the dock and minimizing windows? I use a WM with a dock and that supports minimized windows just fine.


If the app is in focus and you click on it on the dock, it minimizes itself. You can also do Super+H.

Personally I put it back to "Windows" layout (min/max/close on the right), even though I mostly use Super+H.


Ah, okay. Thanks. That's not as bad as I thought, using the click on the dock (that would otherwise do nothing) is clever. Thinking about it, my dock does this as well :)


FYI it's re-branded as Pantheon Tweaks for this release.
