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
.
How can I make this list larger so that it gives full details.
Something Like -
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
kubuntu kde

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 saysDownloads - Dolph...
, it should say,Downloads - Dolphine
. I noticed it only cut the application name.

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

I changed Dolphin PreferenceStartup > Show full path in title bar
, so that it shows full path inWindow 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:
And, after you install it, clicking on it ( (outlined in red)) shows something like this:
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.
