Bug ID: 391572
Summary: Add an option to "always show icon only" for tasks,
but continue to show others icon + text.
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: ***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@web2.0-apps.de
CC: plasma-***@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0

This is a proposal for the default task manager, not the icon only one!

When you only have a few task (programms/windows) running, each task has an
entry with the application icon and title. When you open more and more tasks
and the task bar is full, the entrys switch to icon only.

There are some applications I "never" have 2 windows open, eg amarok, krdc,
kdevelop, ... . I actually would not need an entry for those with icon and
title, even if there is a lot of space available, but icon only would be enough
to identify them.

Id would be great if I could tell the task manager to display amarok, krdc,
kdevelop, ... "always show icon only" to save space in the task bar.
