Description Elias Probst 2015-11-23 07:59:35 UTC 
I'd like to see some enhancements to  "org.kde.plasma.activitybar":

- support for activity icons:
  configurable as
  - Only Icons
  - Icons + Name
  - Only Name
- support for stopped activities
  - to prevent cluttering the list with stopped activities, they could be provided through an applet popup - similar to the systray, where inactive SNI items are only accessible through the popup and active move into the permanently visible area
  - clicking on a stopped activity will start it, change the plasmashell context to it and move it to the list of active items
  - does this also mean, that there should be a way to stop an activity?

Currently 'Activities' widget already have start/stop abilities. Not sure about need of icons for them

This is not about the "Activities Panel", but about the "Activities" widget (org.kde.plasma.activitybar).

Sorry for misunderstanding. 'Stop activity' entry could be added to right click menu on started activities. Also 'General' settings from 'Pager' widget could be used for displaying/not displaying activities' names, icons and 'Show desktop' functionality after selecting current activity
