    desktops and task bar

    I searched – sort of – not really sure how to ask the question.

    You have multiple desktops. You switch to an empty desktop and start a program or 3. That desktop gets cluttered with open apps, and the task bar begins to get so cluttered you can no longer read what you have on that desktop.

    So you switch tom a new desk top – but all the minimized applications from desktop 1 carry over desktop 2 and you still have the problem of not being able to read what is open – but now it's worse because you have a desktop open with even more apps.

    How do you get a clean task bar to match your clean desktop?

    Thanks!

    Podunk,

    right-click on the panel, select Configure Panel > Taskbar ... there you can, for example, deselect Show Windows From All Desktops in order to get a clean(er) task bar. However, the downside may be that you tend to forget about open apps when shutting down the system - at least, that's what I keep experiencing
