ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Which widget is that? "Icon's Only Task Manager" or "Task Manager"? Is that the overflow menu? Or is that literally the "Window List" widget?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2022-03-25 18:03:58 UTC 
Looks like literally the Window List widget. The list is sorted by recency of use. We could add alphabetical sorting as an option.
