Description Chris Desjardins 2008-09-18 19:40:30 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When the panel is in vertical mode the tasks in the taskbar plasmoid are very large and awkward.  I recommend using Vista's method of making them very small with one small icon (maybe 16x16) present and a few letters for each task with an ellipses.  The 'height' of each task in Vista is about .5 cm whereas in KDE it's about 2.5 cm.  This will save a lot of space and look more professional.  I'll attach a screenshot of now Vista and will attach one of KDE later.
