   Close all your open programs. Right-click on bottom panel, click “Task Manager Settings”. Then change the “Grouping” drop down to “Do Not Group” under “Grouping & Sorting”.

   Enjoy!

   Hi Trevor!

   I discovered this new setting the other day, too. Glad to see it’s been implemented. I’d like to add, though, that you don’t have to close all programs, you just need to be able to find a vacant spot on the plasmoid taskbar that belongs to the Task Manager, or you’ll end up with a context menu for some other plasmoid on it

   Cheers!

   Here is another easy way to get to the “Task Manager Settings” dialog box without haveing a blank spot:

   1. Unlock the widgets on the panel(right click on the kmenu)
   2. click the cashew to get the panel’s setting strip to appear.
   3. Now when you move your mouse over the plamoids on the panel, you will only get a move mouse cursor. Right click on the task manager and you will see the “Task Manager Settings”, which is where you can make changes for all the programs instead of just the one program.
