Description paclarushtaonas 2019-03-13 17:16:59 UTC
SUMMARY

Request for an option in the settings to put the icons in the middle or the far left of the space occupied by the task manager

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unlock widgets (if necesary)
2. open the icon-only task manager settings
3. An option to select the aligment of the icons should be there

OBSERVED RESULT
The task manager (either icon or the normal one) are basically a flexible spacer that contains the task manager, but it's only positioned at the left of the spacer

the only way to put the icons on the center is to put a spacer at the left of the task manager, but it quickly dealigns if one opens or closes more windows, either by fixing or unfixing that flexible space. Also that does not allow to get them to the far right, because the icons get squeezed and diminish in size as soon as more windows open.

EXPECTED RESULT
An option to select where in the "spacer" the icons should be, relative to the space or to the panel, should be present

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I know Latte dock offers a similar option, but for me it is slow and it's also depending on another external tool, instead of relying on native plasma widgets.

Also, I think this is not a duplicate of #378033 because I also suggest the option to select not only the center, but also the left of the widget area.

In fact it is, because with the new flexible spacer item, you can achieve  a left alignment by only adding a flexible spacer to the right, or a right alignment by only adding a flexible spacer to the left.
