Plus symbol in task bar
awesome-wm
Solution
Your firefox is maximized.
The "+" disappears, when maximizing the client,
You mean when unmaximizing, right?
Here is a link to the line of the code which uses a (bold) plus as indication of maximized clients: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/blob/3cfb577387d52e898455a64344f73409bc6f481b/lib/awful/widget/tasklist.lua#L243
Problem
What does the "+" Symbol in the task bar mean? This is a screenshot with the "+". It happens, that the clients with a "+" do not tile when opening another client. The "+" disappears, when maximizing the client, but then it does not tile either. Any ideas how to deactivate the "+" status?
