Combine mode
Choose how windows group on the bar: never, auto, overflow, or always.
Combine mode (grouping windows)
Combine mode decides whether multiple windows of the same app appear as separate buttons or a single combined button.
In combined mode, you still get access to individual windows via hover previews.
Modes
- Never: always show separate buttons.
- Always: always combine.
- Overflow: keep separate until space runs out, then combine.
- Auto: adapts to available space.
In Settings this appears as Combine buttons with these descriptions:
- Never - each window has its own button
- When overflowing - combine only if space is tight
- Auto - prefer pinned groups, then combine left‑to‑right as needed
- Always - group windows by app
What to choose
- “Never” if you manage many windows per app (browsers, editors).
- “Always” if you prefer a clean bar and rely on previews.
- “Overflow/Auto” if you want compactness without losing clarity.
