Can I just ask why would you want the minimized icons darker? Why do you need to know if the application is minimized or not? If the purpose of the task manager is to switch you between windows, what difference it makes if the icon is darker or not?

I'm just trying to understand the needs.

My use case is that I have a lot of windows open and that I minimize windows that I only less often. I can focus on the other windows when the minimized ones can be recognized, especially when there are several windows with the same icon (e.g. web browser, kwrite, ...).

We've had this feature since Windows 95 at least and the very first KDE version.
