In KDE3 if the panel was high enough, the taskbar would get two rows. Can I do the same in KDE4? It was kind of essential for making best use of my screen space.

Re: Two row taskbar
There's a multi-row task manager widget, i have tried it but not for a couple of days because it crashed plasma....
I'll give it another try and let you know.

I've got a ladybird on-screen now.
There seem to be problems with it....A Fatal Error Occurred
The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).
Please help us improve the software you use by filing a report at http://bugs.kde.org. Useful details include how to reproduce the error, documents that were loaded, etc.

Re: Two row taskbar
cantab, do you run dual monitors? If so, what I did was added a second panel to monitor two and added another task manager widget to that panel. I then changed the task manager settings to ONLY show tasks on the screen they appear. Works great for me.Comment

Re: Two row taskbar
Thank goodness I'm not the only one getting problems with Plasma. Seems when I try to customize it to be more to my taste, it meets some random fatal error. Widgets aren't the way to go for me... back to KDE 3 i go.Comment

Re: Two row taskbar
:sigh: They really did push KDE4 out early. Seems even 4.1 is still beta really. I'm starting to consider switching to gnome.

Re: Two row taskbar
sorry to hijack a little, but will it also have the capability to have two toolbars directly above/below each other? That would be really cool!!!Once your problem is solved please mark the topic of the first post as SOLVED so others know and can benefit from your experience! / FAQComment

Re: Two row taskbar
You mean two panels stacked?Originally posted by toad
Probably not (At least there is no immediately apparent way to set that up in the alpha)...You can have a normal panel and an auto-hiding one on the same edge, though.
EDIT: Theoretically, you could 'cheat' by creating a side panel, flattening it and stretching it to the width of the desktop, and then move that next to your existing top/bottom panel. But I don't think the widgets would align correctly on it. :PComment

Re: Two row taskbar
Nice idea but no biscuit - fairly amusing outcome thoughEDIT: Theoretically, you could 'cheat' by creating a side panel, flattening it and stretching it to the width of the desktop, and then move that next to your existing top/bottom panel. But I don't think the widgets would align correctly on it. Tongue
- I tried it.
Shame though, that would be quite something - taskbars you could move about like toolbars in OOo for example...
Thanks nevertheless.Once your problem is solved please mark the topic of the first post as SOLVED so others know and can benefit from your experience! / FAQComment

Re: Two row taskbar
Come to think of it, why CAN'T I free a panel from the edges of the screen! Isn't a panel just a plasmoid? Shouldn't a plasmoid be able to go anyway? FREE THE PANELS!
Also, my reason for sticking with KDE all these years has been Amarok. And now Amarok's not even KDE4 yet!
/rant
Ironically, I've actually set up my KDE4 rather like Gnome. Top panel has K Menu, quick launch icons, system tray and clock. Bottom panel has taskbar and desktop pager.
