I am running Zorin Lite 15.2 (and 12.4). From Windows I am used to having text next to the icons on the buttons of the open apps in the taskbar. I am also used to grouping but still having one individual button for each opened app.
As far as I understand this issue has never been answered fully here: https://zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11470&p=51280&hilit=taskbar+text+icon#p51280
I understand that Zorin Lite seems to run somewhat two taskbars (panels). Besides the main panel (xfce4-panel 4.14.3) there is a nested panel called dockbarx. I have been searching the Internet to find ways how to adjust the settings for those taskbars to meet my wishes, but I have not been successful in finding what I want for either of those two panels. The GUI doesn't seem to provide options about grouping and text next to the icons (supposingly, in the GUI panel preferences > items there should be a button called "Windows Buttons" to make some adjustments, but not in Zorin Lite) and with configuration files I don't trust myself without clear instructions.
Question no. 1: Is it possible to accomplish what I want with either xfce4-panel or dockbarx? If yes, how would I do this?
Question no. 2: Is there another panel that would be able to provide the desired features? And if so, how do I change from the installed panel to the new one?
