MorphOS really needs an update in the GUI. There should be at least the possibility to minimize windows to a panel or dock, just like in windows and mac os. And some more dynamic behaviour of the buttons would be nice too, like changing colours, when you move the mouse over a window gadget for example.
the way it is now, it looks too much like an 90s operating system. very static.
I completely agree with this minimize windows to the panel.
Wouldn't a screenbar module be more appropriate (allowing access to iconified applications from any MUI screen, including Ambient)?
Yeah, I don't like the idea of hack minimizing into Panels and mimic the other OSes in that regard. Not everyone even likes to use Panels at all, it's just an option.
But screenbar would be more natural option for that. Maybe you could access iconified programs from there, or completely hidden windows too. There's a way to hide windows so that not even icon is left visible, but it's a bit clumsy to bring them up again... so, having a better way to bring them up would be justified.
It should be thought if it would be better as screenbar module (which can be enabled/disabled) or should it be implemented into screen depth gadget which would be available always for users (you can already select the screen from there).
