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.
