When I took a look at MX Linux XFCE yesterday, I saw that there was an extra button for the window at the left side of the minimize button to roll the window up:
I didn´t know that Zorin Lite also has this feature. I only saw it in Moksha Desktop and Enlightenment, but it also exists in XFCE!
I wondered why there is no such button on my system although I installed the same theme. Now I found out.
You can right-click on the titlebar of a window and select "roll window up" or you can go to settings > window management > style
and drag the hidden button for shading windows to the right side of the titlebar so that it gets active. Another option is to go to settings > window management > extended and set as action for doubleclick shading the window.
I only wanted to share that because I like the function and now I have the button as in MX Linux in Thunar on Zorin Lite.
Honestly I've long known about the window roll-up feature... and have never actually used it in day to day stuff. I just can't figure out what the logic for it is (and that could just be my ignorance, honestly). Is someone out there running like 50 windows all rolled up over their display , ready to open at a moments notice?
I kind of hope someone actually does that, honestly. I would love to see how they do their day to day work.
I know about it and include a button for it in all my themes that I create.
I also use it on rare occasions by hovering the cursor on the titlebar and mouse wheel up or down.
But not often. Rollup can be confusing if you do not use it all the time.
Where it is useful:
Imagine you are sorting information in say, five or ten documents.
stack the windows, offset, one higher on the screen than the next one down...
Rollup or down between them to compare information.
In this- I find it invaluable.
In web browsing or switching between coding editors... not so much.
