Hi,
I use a narrow vertical Panel and the text of the items in the Task
Manager are not very useful to me (only 2 or 3 characters), but I see
a *small* icon and the 2 or 3 characters I don't need. I think is
better to see only a *big* icon for every task, so I have touch a
little the file 'abstracttaskitem.cpp', and if I've configured the
Grouping Strategy to ManualGrouping, I don't show the text: only a big
icon (I've used the option to Grouping Strategy because I use this
option too, and the other KDE4 user in the system don't have this
option and have a horizontal Panel). I am happy with the result.
I think that the developers of the Tasks applet could include a "Show
only icons" option for me and others (some users of the Panel in
horizontal position may want this option too: I've discover in
screenshots that Windows 7 show the tasks only with icons). If you
want to see the modifications made to the code by a non-KDE4 developer
that see the code for the first time, here is :-)
