Description roland_wirth 2016-03-23 19:25:05 UTC
Window groups in the task manager widget have a "2+" in a green circle overprint the application icon. I find that irritating because most often I look for the application I want to bring to the front by its icon. Sometimes I spend multiple seconds sweeping over the list, not finding the application, until I realize that its icon is behind the green circle.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have enough windows open to fill the task manager
2. Open a second instance or window of any application




As the string (which is for some reason white on light green an thus not well readable) always displays "2+" it seems more like an indicator for a group. This is pretty much space used for such a simple piece of information. Maybe one could make this indicator less intrusive by replacing it with a differently colored triangle in the upper right corner of the task manager entry or something like this. A configurable indicator would be nice (with an option to switch it off), but probably a bit overengineered. Anyway, it should not obscure the application icon.

The icon was recently made smaller.
