I want to detect if the Activities Overview is open or not from a script. I have tried xdotool getwindowfocus but it just gives me the window that was focused before the Activities Overview panel was opened. Is this possible?

  • @DKBose Unfortunately wmctrl -l doesn't show the Activities Overview. (I ran sleep 2; wmctrl -l and opened the Activities Overview).
