Grouping is a planned optional feature.
from lxqt-panel.
At the moment you can disable showing text (only icons) in the task manager settings. This makes the vertical panel much smaller.
Additionally you can edit the lxqt-panel.css file in the themes directory.

Thanks for the tip. But selecting "Orientation: Autorotate when the panel is vertical" in the Date & Time panel widget makes the panel grow in size again for example ;).

That is good. But it's not enough (IMHO).
Why are there still separate Quicklaunch and Task Manager panel widgets for example?
The way it's done in the Windows 7 Taskbar (or DockbarX / DockX for example) is so much better.
In the Windows 7 Taskbar, the taskbar buttons are used for launching apps as well as managing them.
It's all explained over there (see "Unified Launching and Switching"):

It would be very much appreciated if the LXQt panel would be the same.
Or, to be precise, it actually would be nice if you would add all the features of the Windows 7 Taskbar to the LXQt panel. Not for the sake of making it the same, but simply because the Windows 7 Taskbar is quite nice and, IMHO, certainly a lot better than the current LXQt panel (no offense though).

As long as it's optional, that's fine.
Moved the discussion to a separate issue.

Closing as it's moved to the main tracker.

This is a great idea. You should make the panel like dockbarx which is similar to Windows 7 taskbar. This is really necessary.

+1 on these feature requests, although I agree they should be optional. They would be very helpful for using lxqt on smaller devices with limited screen real estate, or when you have a vertical panel. Wide screen laptops for example make you want to maximize your vertical real estate, so a vertical panel makes sense, but because vertical space is limited it means you tend to end up with too many icons in the task bar and quicklaunch bars such that some of them become hidden by other panel elements.

Please, upgrade LXQT panel to year 2023. It's a joke that it has not been implemented yet. For me it's neglect.

There is a 3rd party plugin: #1963
and a basic WIP: #2007
