Workspace overview
Something like this ? I use skippy-xd which I bind to Super + Space and it gives me a live overview of all open windows regardless of what tab they're on.

Okay. I will not say, that it's the last update, this time. But this will stay for long time. I just saw some Pop_Os photo, on the internet and remembered, how much I like the layout and colors, so I replicated it, as close as I could. It's simple, nice and functional.
Btw. I am not trying to write my configuration by myself. I am trying to modify a config file, that I took from this site: https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/blob/master/skippy-xd.sample.rc

Panel - preview of opened programs
I used this https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd a couple of times. It works ok.
- Skippy-XD is buggy on Arch - clicking outside of any window should exit but instead it opens the window closest to to the mouse

Help with NixOS expression for Xfce docklike taskbar plugin
I am novice nixos user and I didn't really write any of nix expressions yet. I would like to have Xfce's docklike taskbar plugin (github link), so I would greatly appreciate if somebody could make one nix expression for me so I could build it? I also hope it's not too hard, but I am too sick and tired atm to comperhend documentation regarding it.

Why do icons in the window buttons seem to use random themes (Linux Mint 21 with XFCE)? I'm using Papirus icon pack, and it otherwise works fine, but in the Window Buttons panel applet, they seem to follow random themes. Can anyone help me out as to how I can fix?
Because of default xfce window task manager sometimes picks icons from .desktop files sometimes picks from window icons. I recommend xfce4-docklike-plugin

Ubuntu History (Unity Desktop Site, 2010-2017). In my opinion, Unity was (and still is) a professional polished desktop, which gave Ubuntu a unique identity.
A couple of distros now bundle the very nifty "docklike" task switcher, which is rather snazzy and integrates well: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

It had to be done.
The final piece was the docklike-plugin you mentioned. This was the last straw. I attempted to follow the instructions found here: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin
