Bug ID: 463357
Summary: Task Manager uses theme icons, so multiple window
application icons are not shown
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: lorenzofsut...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
It seems Task Manager uses the theme's icons for windows. In various cases, in
particular when grouping is not selected, using actual windows' icons is more
beneficial and makes the task manager more useful.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Currently the icons used by the task manager come from the selected theme
2. For applications with multiple windows this means that even if those windows
have different icons which may also indicate the window's functionality these
are displayed with the 'parent' application icon (taken from the theme
See the screenshots for a couple of good examples:
- QjackCtl [1] is an application which can create multiple windows each of
which has different functionalities and therefore icons. The task manager in
this case shows all the same windows.
- In the second screenshot Rosegarden [2] opens different kinds of editing
windows: notice each has a slightly different icon to indicate the kind of
editor. This is not reflected by the task manager which is using the
applications 'stock' theme icon.
It would be good to have the functionality (and option) to use the actual
window icon displayed in the task manager.
This might be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384357 but is
more general and focuses on the Virtualbox icon, not on the underlying
functionality.
