I am running Kubuntu 18.04 with latest Plasma. as I struggled to wrestle with an application that I wanted to go to the system tray, instead of my taskbar, I got a really good idea!

You can right click on a running application in Task Manager and select "More Actions" theres a lot of useful stuff in there such as keep above others, below others, etc.

If in that Menu there was an option for "Hide Label" That would be absolutely GREAT! Then you could selectively hide the Labels for applications where the label is pretty much irrelevant, this would give you a small button with just an icon on the Task Manger, it would make the Task Manager cleaner, and give more room for other running applications to spell out more of their Label.

This is very useful especially with lots of running programs on the task manager, the more running programs you have, the smaller the buttons get and the more cramped/tuncated the labels become.

I appologize, I searched but my search terms didnt find that one, thank you so much for the reply. I really hope this feature in one form or another gets added. I like having my Labels on programs that I need them, but to be able to hide the labels on other programs would be awesome! Best Regards.

No need to apologize, just adding information :). No one expects you to check Phabricator.
