         * Ah, yes, I didn't know about that previously. But it's not really what I'm looking for... seems that expands the window to fill the screen, without the borders & decorations. What I miss from E16 is that Ctrl+Enter enlarges the window (so the dimensions are still the same -- my terminal emulator is still 80x25, but appears larger.) That's handy for a small screen like mine.         * Ah, yes, I didn't know about that previously.

 +* Port Unity's HUD functionality to Xfwm without dependency on unity-gtk-module (i.e. distro-agnostic). Pretty please!
 +
 +* Allow window preview when hoovering over a window button. As <Alt-Tab> switcher already handles previews i don't think this would be too hard to achieve.

     * Ideally, implement customizable profiles, which have some settings different from the default. A user would (optionally) choose a profile when opening a new tab or a terminal window. This could be done for example by holding down the left button for a second, or right clicking, on the new tab button, or via the menus. See other terminal emulators to see how this has been done. This would be a more general solution and would allow users to use all kind of settings in their profiles, not just setting the font.     * Ideally, implement customizable profiles, which have some settings different from the default.

-    * Second the request for named per-terminal profiles that could be implemented in 2 or 3 stages: (1) afford selection of foreground/background color and transparency, font face and size, and terminal title; (2)afford choice of window furniture.  Many applications run in a terminal, and being able to set those features in a visually distinctive way would improve usability.  The individual profiles could be implemented as variations on a general profile.+    * Second the request for //named// per-terminal profiles.  They could be implemented in 2 or 3 stages: (1) afford selection of foreground/background color and transparency, font face and size, and terminal title; (2)afford choice of window furniture.  Many applications run in a terminal, and being able to set those features in a visually distinctive way would improve usability.  The individual profiles could be implemented as variations on a general profile.
