How to enable minimize on click on Ubuntu 16.10. Customize Ubuntu 16.10 mouse setting and enable “Minimise On Click” function on Ubuntu 16.10 Desktop. This enables toggle function for mouse click. Simultaneously double-clicking on an app icon can be used to minimise the app window on Ubuntu Desktop.
By default, the minimise function isn’t enabled in Ubuntu 16.10 Unity Desktop. So you cannot click on an app launcher icon to open an app and again click on it to minimise the app.
Luckily you can enable minimise on click on Ubuntu 16.10 Desktop. Here’s how to do this:
- Open Unity Tweak Tool.
- Click on Launcher tab under Unity.
- Click and enable Minimise. Select the option “Minimize single window applications on click” under Behaviour tab.
You can also enable minimise on click using terminal commands. Run the following commands to enable it:
gsettings set org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-minimize-window true
Once done, you will be able to easily minimise the app using mouse click.
