The option was always there in MX19KDE but ...f you don't like that style, is to unpin (right click and choose) all the launchers and add them back using the add to panel option (search for app in menu, right click the item and choose the right type of launcher)
Indeed, that is what I tried and all is working well. Often, I will elect to have several Firefox instances running at once so I can keep my surfing-topics separate. Sometimes too, I'll have a couple of Dolphins open at once.
I noted that when I deleted then added to the panel again, the additional application icons were to the left of where they were orignally, so I guess there is some form of spacer in there.
My apologies. The panel was working as designed.
Cheers,

One more minor bug with MX 21 KDE plasma Beta 2:
The three-finger right click (with a laptop touchpad) works fine for some time after a fresh boot.
But, after a long time, it doesn't work as expected.
(after 5-6 hours of almost continuous usage -- just two breaks for snacks and lunch, with the lid closed and screen locked)
Still, right clicking with the physical right click button works as expected.
This bug is also present in MX 19.4 XFCE (stable) release.

---- Eadwine Rose
Following this instruction by Eadwine Rose, I am reposting it here.
I had some trouble installing qtcreator and its Desktop kits on MX 21 KDE plasma Beta 2.
As I now understand, it was caused by changes in package names in Debian 11 Bullseye.
Following the instructions given by dolphin_oracle , I could install it successfully using the "Qt Dev tools" option from mx-packageinstaller .

Those are showing for everybody not sure how to fix that. It also doesn't look like they actually create any problems.

gedit has no window decorations on MX 21 KDE plasma Beta 2.
(I suspect this may be applicable for some other GTK apps too)
The only ways to close it in the GUI are through the panel or killing it with KSysGuard.
Sorry, my mistake.

Hypnotix is in the stable repo on MX 21 but the same issue applies to the version in test on MX-19
The app will not open without installing python3-requests first
think this one belongs to @SwampRabbit who probably has not much better to do these days :)
BTW...........MX-21 is brilliant ... would be happy enough if this were the final ... i keep forgetting that it isn't and that i will have to configure it all over again

Thanks for bringing this up, don't see how that happened because I actually test it... must have had python3-requests pulled in by another package during testing.
I see the issue though and can fix it two different ways, not sure how this got past the Linux Mint folks or why its not reported as a dependency upstream.
Also it would have been proper to report that in the MX-19 Hypnotix thread rather than here, its not a problem with the Beta.
I'll work on fixing it sometime tomorrow.
