[Bug 1582294] [NEW] Icons-only task manager in plasma 5 too small icons, ugly rectangles, no minimized indicator, no multiple windows indicator

[Manuel López-Ibáñez]

Public bug reported:

The icons-only task manager widget in plasma 5 (Kubuntu 16.04) has
regressed in several aspects with respect to the version in 14.04.

Icons are now tiny compared with the "quick launcher" widget. Rectangles
around the icons take space and are not useful because they do not give
any information about the minimized state of the application. There is
now no indicator that a single icon represents multiple windows. Windows
asking for attention do not flash/highlight anymore.
