I don't know how you missed it! ;)

   * Add an option to display inactive and/or minimized windows as icon only, while showing the label only for active and/or normal/maximized windows. If it were possible, to make the Label apear instantly on hovering, it would be a nice expierience to watch them popping up and colapsing again, one by one, and you won’t have to wait for tooltip showing up to get the windows titleinfo - - Usefull for small screens and/or portrait view, especially on tablets & convertibles   * Add an option to display inactive and/or minimized windows as icon only, while showing the label only for active and/or normal/maximized windows.

 +  * Filtering: Show (only) windows from workspace [#] This would allow multiple panels/taskbars to correspond to the side of the screen they are on and another workspace is relative to, so you always know where your other windows are.

   * Pleeeeeeeease bring back the rows option that was definitely in 4.6.1. In 4.10 I cannot make icons small AND use the all the space available in the notif area: I have a 22 pixel bar but icons can only go down to 12 pixels... not that with a 24 pixel bar (or any size) the rows come back (even 24px is far too big - vertical space is at a premium since the fashion and cheapness/profitability of wide-screens, so even 2px more is massively wasteful).   * Pleeeeeeeease bring back the rows option that was definitely in 4.6.1.

   * The current keyboard layout chooser allows you to select a compose key, but not a third level chooser (the xkb options beginning "lv3:*" ) which is required for keyboards that have more than one shift state. Setting it using setxkbmap is similar to the other options. The layout switchers in both KDE and GNOME support graphical interfaces to choose the third level key.\   * The current keyboard layout chooser allows you to select a compose key, but not a third level chooser (the xkb options beginning "lv3:*" ) which is required for keyboards that have more than one shift state.

 +  * Add a plugin that shows recent notifications. Like Cinnamon and Gnome desktops.
 +
 +  * A user-customizable slider toggle. Made so it runs a command when turned on, and another when turned off. This would be extremely useful for developers using VMs or containers. And for web developers or service providers with loads of projects. To enable and disable virtual hosts. Even for sysadmins who want to stop/start/enable/disable things like tasks/daemons/services. enabling/disabling ssh tunnels/vpn connections/firewall exceptions. The possibilities are endless. stdout/stderr could optionally be shown as notifications.
