Bug ID: 394658
Summary: Right click running application and select more
actions/hide label, selective icon only
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: ***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com
CC: plasma-***@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0

I am running Kubuntu 18.04 with latest Plasma. as I struggled to wrestle with
an application that I wanted to go to the system tray, instead of my taskbar, I
got a really good idea!

You can right click on a running application in Task Manager and select "More
Actions" theres a lot of useful stuff in there such as keep above others, below
others, etc.

If in that Menu there was an option for "Hide Label" That would be absolutely
GREAT! Then you could selectively hide the Labels for applications where the
label is pretty much irrelevant, this would give you a small button with just
an icon on the Task Manger, it would make the Task Manager cleaner, and give
more room for other running applications to spell out more of their Label.

This is very useful especially with lots of running programs on the task
manager, the more running programs you have, the smaller the buttons get and
the more cramped/tuncated the labels become.

I appologize, I searched but my search terms didnt find that one, thank you so
much for the reply. I really hope this feature in one form or another gets
added. I like having my Labels on programs that I need them, but to be able to
hide the labels on other programs would be awesome! Best Regards.

No need to apologize, just adding information :). No one expects you to check
Phabricator.
