Description:

I like the minimalistic style panel in oxygen mockups.
But it is not very click-effective.

I suggest to make it click-expandable into a much bigger panel, that can house various everyday tools(plasmoids) for fast access.

This way you don't have to move away any windows to access plasmoids on desktop, and still have enough space to house plasmoids of useful size.

Some ideas what i would like to put in my toolbox:
* a search applet
* a recent documents applet
* ongoing operations applet
* "now playing" applet
* bigger favorite application list
* system load applet
* much more...

It mey be even useful to implement sevelar tabs:
* one for common tasks
* one to show the system status (like opening the engine cover)

The picture is just a ripoff from the oxygen mockups. I hope it helps getting the idea.

... all plasmoids will be fast-accessible because you'll have a way to raise them in front of the windows (a keystroke or smth)...

 Good idea

That's a great idea, however, only one "widget" program is necessary. Its either Plasmoids on the desktop with a keyboard shortcut to raise them to the top, or the taskbar widgets that you propose. Perhaps if both were implemented in KDE4, and the user is given the choice as to which to use?
