A fork of the default plasmoid but removes the icon and looks like a flat thin button. Can be configured to minimize all windows instead of "peaking" at the desktop, or to run a command. Scrolling over the button changes the volume, switch desktop, or any other command.

Setting the click effect to "Minimize All Windows" is very buggy. Sometimes it minimizes all windows fine but on a second click it shows them briefly and hides them again, instead of showing windows back. Now, at the moment of writing this report, setting that option behaves as "Show Desktop" for some reason. The "Minimize All Windows" contextual menu entry works as expected.
Using version 11.

Truly!
Some ideas, maybe for the future.
More shortcuts(of course an action for each):
- Action on middle click
- Action on key combination - ctrl, alt, shift
-- We will have a lot of possibilities.

If the color is too bright, you can make it darker (or more transparent).
Making it a "glassy aero button" like win7 would be a bit of work since I haven't tried to do a glassy effect before.

You could add this to the metadata file, so it shows up in the "Show alternatives" menu of the default applet:
X-Plasma-Provides=org.kde.plasma.windowmanagement
Easier to find, and easier to try

you can hide the settings button of your taskbar in the bottom right corner if you right-click it, then choose "Lock Widgets".
