F.A.Q.
Can you make it work when the window is minimized?
Sorry, I think it's not possible for now. From what I can see some apps (like Chromium when video streaming is being played) get "frozen" when you minimize the window. I guess it's for keeping the system more efficient.
WORKAROUND: Please just move the window to another workspace (SUPER + SHIFT + PAGE DOWN / UP), it won't bother you anymore.
