I really like the use of MATE with feature-rich desktop layouts. Here are some things that could be improved in Mutiny and similar layouts:
-
More ways to unmaximize windows: by double-clicking empty space in the Global Menu (since it acts as the title bar), and by dragging them while pressing Alt.
-
Add window buttons to windows with a child window, such as Synaptic (see this screenshot)
Windows like this can't be minimized.
