Plus symbol in task bar

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?

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
