Created attachment 126492 [details] States from left to right: minimized, hovered minimized, normal, hovered normal, active, hovered active SUMMARY I'm trying to make a custom appearance of the taskbar by creating a new theme, but I ran into some issue. As you can see from the attachment, I expected that there are three main states (minimized, normal and active) and one clarifying state (hover). But when I started editing widgets/tasks.svgz, I was surprised to find that there are four main states (minimized, normal, active and hover), and the hover state is also main, but not clarifying. I believe that the hover state should be clarifying for the main states, i.e. there must be three main states (minimized, normal and active) and three additional (minimzed-hover, normal-hover, active-hover).

Moving back as it requires no changes in Breeze, only task manager. I don't disagree with your original premise. Yes it should be a flag. It gets quite convoluted as it would be a theme break - and hover itself is already optional. I believe it means we would have to set the SVG prefix to be (in order): [west-hover-normal, hover-normal, west-hover, hover, west-normal, normal] is that correct?
Something like https://phabricator.kde.org/P555 ^ as I had the code open to reply. Realistically I don't care for 3rd party themes, so if you want this change you have to reply to the above ordering, and then do something useful with the patch.
Yes, it's a pretty good solution. I tested it and it allows me to solve the specified problem, and also it doesn't break the current themes (at least breeze theme works fine). But I'd prefer to use SVG suffix instead of prefix: [west-normal-hover, normal-hover, west-hover, hover, west-normal, normal]

What do you mean by saying "do something useful with the patch"? Do I need to submit the patch myself?
Yes, feel free to take that code and submit it on https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/diff/create/, with any modifications you find necessary.
I have strange behaviour of the task manager after some manipulations with the /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/Task.qml. Before that, I tested the patch from Comment 2 on a virtual machine and everything worked fine. But now I have started testing it on a real machine, and after applying this patch and rebooting, I noticed that the task manager stopped displaying the minimized state. Then I restored the original file and rebooted, but the task manager still didn't display the minimized state. Having decided that the problem is with the QML cache, I cleared the ~/.cache folder and rebooted, but this also didn't solve my problem. So, the task manager still doesn't display minimized state. Any ideas?
Found the reason for this behavior and filled a bug 419236
