Description Antti Aspinen 2008-09-26 07:43:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Show only icons in taskbar, dropping full name of the running program.

I am running lots of programs usually the same time and they are all different from each other. I think it would be great to have this small feature which takes the text out of those tasks sinked into bar. It makes taskbar a lot more clean looking and speeds up things at least for me since I can just pick the tasks with only their icon in my mind. I'd also get a lot more programs sinked into taskbar. There is no point in having program icon and it's title both shown in taskbar. Title just wastes space.

second this as this is particularly true when there is a vertical taskbar

Yes, yes please...  Especially useful for vertical placement of the Panel.

In KDE3 I have Knews on the panel bar. So I use Kasbar to show the icons of the opened windows. I think thet the possibility to choose to show only icons or icons and taxt ont the panel bar is good. It would be also good the revival of the old kasbar.
