Hi there ! I really enjoy this new Budgie release, but I was wondering if there is an app or a widget like Skippy for Gnome that would allow to see all the opened applications in thumbnails at the same time when hitting keyboard shortcut (like OS X Mission control does) ? I was using SkippyXD or Com…

Hi there, We used to have a version of Skippy, however it has not had anyone maintaining it in some time. So it was removed from our install/welcome screen. With that being said, have you checked out the window previews applet? That might scratch your itch.

Thanks for this. I installed the window previews applet, but I can’t get it to work… I really am a noob at Budgie desktop :sweat_smile:

Not really, I mean something more like this: [image] So you see all the open apps on the current desktop, and preferably also a smaller window of the other desktops and what they have open. Though I would be happy with just the app overview.

Really? Is there a way I could install and test it? :slight_smile:
