I Disabled Present Window

System Settings > Desktop Behaviour > Desktop Effects > (Disable) Present Windows

I also disabled Taskbar (Panel) Tooltip

Right Click Panel > Configure Icon-Only Task Manager > Uncheck Show tooltips

So, When I click on an Group Icon on the task manager, it probably shows Window List.

enter image description here

How can I make this list larger so that it gives full details.

Something Like -

enter image description here

PS: I made up the second image from Task Switcher^* to give a rough idea.

^{[*]_{System Settings > Window Management > Task Switcher > Informative instead of Breeze}}

When I click dolphin on task manager, I only want to show opened dolphin windows. I know task switcher shows all the apps. It was a wrong analogy. I only used it for the looks. Thanks for making it clear. Can you please suggest a title for the question? I think the terms I used are not totally KDE friendly.

My desire is to have larger font size and padding around each line. Also would like to see the full text. For example, in the first Image it says Downloads - Dolph..., it should say, Downloads - Dolphine. I noticed it only cut the application name.

I checked, it is the System Settings > Fonts > General : which affect the task manager. However, it affect the whole system as well.

I changed Dolphin Preference Startup > Show full path in title bar, so that it shows full path in Window List. It is working fine. If only I could apply padding around each line, increase the fonts and show full line without cropping then it would have been great.

There's a plasma widget available, at least in Kubuntu 18.04, that is at the bottom of the widget list you see when you click on ☰ at the bottom or extreme end of your panel:

Window List widget:

Window List widget

And, after you install it, clicking on it ( (outlined in red)) shows something like this:

list of open windows

But even with this widget, items longer than a fixed number of characters are terminated with an ellipsis (…).

I don't know if you'll find this more convenient.

It would be nice if I could just change the window list width. I have a huge monitor and it just take part of the screen.
