What is the address of this mock-up on kde-look? What is the name of it? I can open the link but I'd like to locate a site of if on kde-llok not only be able to see picture.

By the way why I can't vote for it? When I highlight the button is shows information that voting is locked.

Thank you for reference.

I like the mockup, but I would introduce a little change to this idea, perhaps as an option. For open application that has only one window open I would mark it as it is usually marked in docks or other icon task lists with a frame or something just to differentiate the icon and mark it as active. For applications that has more then one window open I would do it as it is on the mockup with a small little difference, just pointing with mouse on an icon would show the text of open windows so that clicking wouldn't be necessary. Clicking would just maximize the window that was clicked. But I like the idea of big icons and text for apps that has more then one window open. I prefer this solution to large preview window or just small icons with text as it is on dafault, classic task list.
But that's only my preference. Don't take it as criticism. Now I have a classic task list with active windows of running applications and the ones that I don't use currently I minimize to tray with Alltray. This way I have only active windows on panel task list and easy and quick access to other running apps but they don't disturb me. I wish I had a taskbar that would work similarly.
