Created attachment 146092 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY When placed on a panel, the Latte task manager will not fill the panel and take up its entire width, causing widgets to its right (system tray, clock, etc) to be positioned at its left rather than at the right side of the screen. The default Task Manager and Icon Only Task manager take this approach which seems to be the safe and correct technique. STEPS TO REPRODUCE In a standard Plasma setup you can just right-click the existing task manager and select Show Alternatives then replace it with Latte, or just place it on the bottom panel manually if that fails. OBSERVED RESULT The first thing you'll notice is how your system tray and clock move to the center of the panel then move around based on how many tasks you have open. EXPECTED RESULT It feels like Latte should behave like the builtin task managers in this regard, not changing the size of the entire plasmoid. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It might be a good idea to have an option for this? One that allows you to pick where and how you want the icons to be positioned: Either dynamically scale the widget (current functionality), fixed width aligned to the left (default task manager behavior), to the right if anyone wants that, or center them in the middle of the screen (a cool feature to have)... it should however be consistent both when the plasmoid is on the desktop or the panel.

This is intentional. You can add a spacer that feels length between latte tasks and your other applets. A. For Latte just use Justify alignment that adds such spacers automagically B. For plasma panels you can right click panel, Edit panel..., Add Spacer
Thanks for clarifying: If this is intentional and not a bug it makes sense. I can confirm spacers work, I'll be using that approach in that case.
