getting only icons instead of window thumbnail

I tried without any success to have a nice task switcher showing windows thumbnail but for a reason I ignore I only got icons. Cf. attachment. 
However I have the right design from the task switcher from system settings -> windows management -> task switcher -> main -> Visualization -> Breeze preview.

Do you have Compositing enabled? Hit Ctrl+Shift+F12 and/or check in System Settings → Display → Compositor.

The status of my compositor

I am not sure compositor is enabled...
Comment 3 Nils 2019-09-17 14:05:11 UTC 
Yes! That was the reason. I got a crash as showed in my other attachment. Confirming on the pop-up the activation and login again make it works! 
Thanks, plasma is awesome!

Maybe having a notification for the user about an anomaly for the compositor would be great?
