Showing all open programs on your bottom toolbar
Image

Take a look at my picture to understand what I'm talking about. I have a bunch of programs open right now and I can't see the name of the programs on my toolbar. Is there hopefully a way to see all open programs on your toolbar when this happens?

In windows OS's when you have multiple windows from the same program open they group themselves together, and on MAC OS's they have a toolbar that you can easily scroll through. So I hope there is a similar way to do this in Linux

yes you can group , just check the options of your Window manager and/or the desktop manager and the panel it self ,

just right-click in the right spot and look Smilie

but if they have nothing in common , they wont Smilie

can you increase your monitor resolution to the MAX ? that will let you see way better.

regards
