This currently works when the icons are already crushed (such as in a vertical panel) but not for small horizontal panels 2) icon only Does what it says on the tin, possibly as a separate widget/plasmoid 3)correct orientation when vertical If there is another way to get the icons then, it would be nice to have full taskbar entries shown vertically on a vertical panel (e.g not jsut icons on tiny panels) Last edited by Rioting Pacifist on Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:26 pm, edited 1 time in total.
