Created attachment 102070 [details] Gap between Task Manager and System Tray Hi. I like place panel to the top, and move Task Manager to the the right half. So open program icons appear from right to left order. I like when window buttons in task manager situated close to the system tray icons. But, in Plasma 5, there is strange gap between icon in task manager and system tray (unused free space). It reduces, when new windows are opened. When I have 5 applications opened - it disappears, and panel looks like it should be. I never faced that kind of bug in Cinnamon, MATE and XFCE. Please, remove that gap. Let first opened window icon be tight close to the the right side (add option is Task manager settings for displaying icons from left to right, or from right to left). P.S. Left half of panel will be used for global menu in plasma 5.9 :)
You can do this by using panel spacers to push the applet to the right.
(In reply to Eike Hein from comment #1) > You can do this by using panel spacers to push the applet to the right. I use spacer, and it is not helping. Still have gap.
Make sure you hovered the spacer (while the panel settings are open) and dragged it to be really wide. It's not enough to just add one, you have to make it wide, so it basically pushes the Task Manager.
Created attachment 102093 [details] No space for new buttons in TM Not working. Increasing spacer length to achieve close sticking of TM to System tray leads to fixed limited area for Task Manager. So it is not expanding while opening new windows. It just decreasing size of new buttons to fit that small area (see attachment). Let me be clear: I need Task Manager to use all right half of the panel from center to system tray (right corner). I need first opened window button appear close to system tray, and new window buttons appear next to it from right to the center. I need them to bee full size each until they reach center of the panel. Only after that they should decrease they size. Obviously, Spacer must be set from Left corner to the center of the panel, not further. So, this is not solution. Just try to do same in Cinnamon, and you will see how that easy.
In that case, current behavior seems entirely correct though - a Task Manager applet that's half the width of the panel will of course not magically start putting buttons on the right side. The alignment is left. If there's not enough buttons to fill the applet's area, of course you get empty space next to the last button. There's nothing strange about that, it's how it should be. There's no difference in behavior no matter where on the panel the applet starts. An option to right-align things could be added, but seems really weird and niche.
Created attachment 102096 [details] attachment-10649-0.html It wold be great if it will be added. Nothing weird. MATE, XFCE and Cinnamon have that. As I said, I keep right side for global menu, and left for taskmanager. So it esthetically correct to place buttons from right to left in this case. (Cinnamon divide pannel to three parts - right, center and left. You can se it if you select "edit panel", they have different colors) пн, 7 нояб. 2016 г., 14:21 Eike Hein <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org>: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372147 > > --- Comment #5 from Eike Hein <hein@kde.org> --- > In that case, current behavior seems entirely correct though - a Task > Manager > applet that's half the width of the panel will of course not magically > start > putting buttons on the right side.
