Bug ID: 455560
Summary: Window List applet's text label should be optional
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Window List
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dennis.lis...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Since the recent upgrade to Plasma 5.25.0 the "Window List" applet in a
horizontal panel displays both the icon and the (application?) name of the
current window, which makes the applet width variable. The applet should have
an option to either hide that label (preferred) or otherwise make its width
fixed.
On my panel I have both a Task Manager applet (for the normal case when I have
only a few windows) and a Window List applet (for the case when I need many
windows and choosing the right one from the panel becomes problematic). In this
case the variable-length label becomes annoying because every switch to a
different application causes it to expand or shrink, changing the size left for
the Task Manager and causing all window buttons to slide. This almost
whole-panel motion feels wrong, especially when switching with a keyboard
shortcut.
