Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Modified version of KDE 4.7 taskbar applet and taskmanager library.
Modifications:
1. Show only icons (no text) in taskbar.
2. When a launcher is activated, place the task's taskbar entry at the same location as the launcher.
3. Tasks with no associated launcher, are placed after launcher tasks (unless alphabetically sorted).
4. Always group tasks.
5. Only allow launchers for items with .desktop files
6. Add a dialog to manually set the association from a window to a .desktop file - so that launcher can be created.
7. Add option to activate/iconify whole group when left button is pressed (taken from SmoothTasks). If disabled, then present windows is used for the group.
8. Use oxygen '+' icon to indicate a collpased group.
9. Use middle button to launch new instance of a task.
10. Attempt to place start-up spinner over launcher/task.
11. Add option to always use the launcher icon for taskbar entry - even when app is active. This works-around the issue where some applications (e.g. LibreOffice) have a different launcher/menu icon than the actual app uses.
12. Workaround an issue with a tasks attention state.
13. More tasks shown in tooltips.
14. Close tasks via tooltips.
15. Show right-click menu for task in tooltips.
16. Option to show job progress over task icon.
17. DockManager API support
18. Media player buttons in tooltips
19. Unity API
9 years ago
0.9.2
=====
1. Allow DockManager "icon-file" to refer to an icon name.
2. Add DockManager API extension (capability "x-kde-dock-item-overlay", dock item property "x-kde-overlay") to allow plugins to specify an overlay icon to be placed top-left of icon.
3. Dont attempt to get commandline for pid 0 - seems to crash KSysGuard library.
4. Use plasma themed close icon for tooltips.
5. Clear any exising entries before showing recent documents menu.
6. When reloading xbel/office recent documents, only clear old documents of that type.
7. When an action is marked as a separator, add a separator to the menu - just adding the action leads to an entry that looks like a menu title.
8. Read LibreOffice 3.4 recent documents from recently-used.xbel
9. Fix DockManager::GetItemsByPid
0.9.1
=====
1. When changing tooltip from one item to the next, call the toolTipHidden slot - so that the item can unregister from the tooltip signals.
2. Fix compilation with KDE less than 4.7
3. Fix dockmanager plugin sub-menus.
4. If compiled against KDE 4.8, dont need IconTask specific taskmanager.
0.9.0
=====
1. Use KSysGuard libraries to read process information.
2. Only ever show the separator if we actually have some launchers.
3. Rename taskmanagerrc to taskmanagerrulesrc
4. Middle click on tooltip is same as middle click on task.
5. Add middle click option - "Move To Current Desktop"
6. When manually moving launchers/tasks, move immediately rather than showing the drop indicator. The previous behaviour may be re-enabled by passing -DICON_TASKS_SHOW_DROP_INDICATOR_FOR_MOVE=true to cmake.
7. If there are too many windows for tooltip, display "Plus X more..."
8. Better calculation of rws and columns in tooltip.
9. Fix not being able to interact with first launcher/entry whilst a task is starting.
10. Fix totally broken dockmanager config UI.
11. Dont check if filename changes dock dockmanager, always update if an icon name is set.
12. Only store 1 container of launchers - not map for launchers, and list for sort order.
13. Fix detection of kcmodule launchers.
14. Try not to use exec() to open config dialogs, so as to not freeze plasma!
15. Remove usage of custom properties in QActions for menus.
16. Use standard KOpenWithDialog to select applications. Allows creation of non-desktop based launchers.
17. Save launcher lock state in applet, not taskmanager library.
18. All changes to taskmanager library are now in KDE/master. Because of this there is no 'basic' menu setting, as the menus have been re-arranged. The only difference between IconTasks's taskmanager and KDE (as of 4.8) taskmanager is the name of the Advanced sub menu. In KDE/master this is now know as "More Actions"
19. Don't set DESKTOP_SESSION to ubuntu, UnityFox has been updated an version 0.2.2 no longer requires this. For an updated UnityFox see:

So instead of a "centered" option, could you just make it so it doesn't automatically add extra space on the right? Then it could grow and the spacers will keep it centered.

But there are few things annoying me. Ok, only the first thing really annoys me, but the rest might be easy to change.
First, I'm using icon tasks in a vertical panel that expands dynamically to the needed size. What annoys me: The vertical size is getting to small, I'd like to be able to set it to a fixed value instead, so the icons allways have the same size, no matter how many of them are there. Please, PLEASE change this behaviour or at least let me choose!
Second: Why is there no option to disable grouping?
Third: Why can't I adjust the tooltip delay? It might make sense to have a delay-spinbox to choose between 0 (no delay) and some maximum value and make the last value turn off tooltips at all.
And last: Why can't I choose a style "Workspace Theme with Indicators" or "Colored Background without Indicators"? My suggestion: styles should only be "Workspace Theme" or "Colored Background" and the indicators should get an own checkbox to be more flexible.
I would really love to see at least the first problem fixed :)

I have a horizontal taskbar which does not fit the whole screen width. In this taskbar all the icontasks icons are VERY small (1px or so). It would be great to set a fixed size or maybe a minimum icon size. Also the icons get even smaller when clicking on the first icon in my taskbar.

I did not tried all your situations with it, but at least it allows to disable grouping and there is some settings for tooltip delay.
Moreover it seem there is active development on it.

Task icon is really great to use.
But a thing missing is the inability to adjust the delay before the image appears, and time after which the image disappears when the mouse is over the icons.
If this could be configurable, it would be really great.
Thank you to tell me if you can make these adjustments.

cairo, awant are typically for gnome.
fancy task quite buggy, slow, and crash plasma all the time.
only way is to use a docky for me, is fast and simple. enaught for me, but unfortunatelly it is not kde native :( so I would like to ask You about adding few feature to current icon-task only widget, like:
-scalling icons when mouse is over icons
-litle jumping animation on clicked animation,
and I think a possibility to add it like a panel instead of widget, with kickoff or lancelot and pager.
please write back with Your opinion.
