Recording how to get centered Task Manager with 2 rows
SUMMARY
Plasma 5.19 introduced better panel spacers so we could actually perfectly
center "Task Manager" (as it's shown at @niccolove tutorial
(https://youtu.be/mlN9EeKMMsA))
However currently "Task Manager" option which is called "Maximum rows" (for
horizontal panel, "Maximum columns" - for vertical) has default value "2". And
with such value after adding spacers on both sides of the "Task Manager" we're
getting very small icons placed in 2 rows. In order to fix this user must got
to settings of the "Task Manager" and lower value of "Maximum rows" to "1".
I guess this value is some kind of legacy from very old KDE releases and
currently could be safely dropped to "1" by default.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE (for vanilla KDE Plasma 5.26.1)
1. Right click on a panel, "Enter Edit Mode"
2. add 2 "Spacers"
3. Place one Spacer to left to the "Icons-Only Task Manager", second - right
to the "Icons-Only Task Manager"
Recording is attached as well
OBSERVED RESULT
Size of the Task Manager icons doesn't change and they're placed in one row
EXPECTED RESULT
Size of the Task Manager icons changes to very small they get placed in two
rows
