See also the long discussion in the referenced bug ticket.</p></pre>

In that case, I am against the patch as it is. There should be some way of distinguishing minimized from non-minimized tasks.
I agree with the problem, but I do not agree with the solution.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Would it be possible to instead of hardcoded greying-out (which I also agree is not the right representation, because greying out is reserved for disabled controls) allow the Plasma theme to define the visual representation?
In the Breeze theme, it would make sense (as suggested in the bug thread) to use a different color for the highlight bar instead of changing the representation of the task. Other themes might choose differen representations, or just don't distinguish them at all.</p></pre>

The color might work well - and would probably be the easiest way, but I'm afraid of the desire to show more states like maximized, docked, active, different virtual screen etc. with the need to remember all the colors. Personally I'd like the position very much since minimizing a window means to not include it into the workflow, more or less. It's like the most missing feature of minimizing into tray. However that would be quite a big change.</p></pre>

Desaturating the icon is unpopular with users too, since the color information is desired to recognize an icon quickly.</p></pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">If I understand the bug report correctly, the issue was with the icon only, so the text graying could be kept, and the icon graying removed.</pre>
