What would you like to see?

I can't help but notice that this window list is missing the progress indicator that the default ones have during tasks such as copying/moving files in Nemo or downloading files in Firefox. From a quick look at the source, it looks like some code is there, but it's commented out. Is it still potentially possible to implement here, or does it mean that there is some incompatibility with some other feature of this applet?

I did spend a small amount of time trying to implement the progress overlay (and yes that code was commented out as you spotted). I ran into issues with it because I was not able to able to keep the progress overlay visible after label redraws. I gave up and moved on to other stuff and just never got back to it. I am also currently working on some spacing issues when not using Mint-Y theme which I think will result in changing from using a BoxLayout to a Cinnamon.GenericContainer. If I move to a Cinnamon.GenericContainer then I think implementing the progress overlay will be easier. At the moment I am having issues when switching to a Cinnamon.GenericContainer but if I get that change done then I will look at fixing the progress overlay code.
