This option is useful for those users who wish to access the list of Finder windows from the menu bar only.
Windows List options
The options to show/hide the Close button, Minimize button, and folder icon, as well as display large text/icons apply to the floating panel only. They won’t affect the appearance of the menu bar panel.
