as soon as I have more than 3 apps open. taskbar resize each items to fill 100% of the taskbar space. what happen is no places is left to right click and hit "task manager settings"

It's a bit inintuitive but you need to go to the Panel settings (Unlock Widget, click on the Cashew) and the you can right click in any point of the Task Manager (even over some task) and go to its settings

I vote for this as well.

It's totally inintuitive, it tooks me 10 minutes to find it out!
It should be added in the menu when right clicking on the taskbar, even if it's above a window. 

Besides, it should be added to the system settings options, so it'd be easier to find.
