Get brackets back for minimized windows in the panel in Xfce 4.16?

Panel (xfce4-panel)
...
tasklist: Hide brackets for min[imized] windows by default

https://www.xfce.org/download/changelogs/4.16

I have had brackets for minimized windows since I started using Linux. I checked window (panel) buttons settings and Xfce Settings Editor, but I still don't know how to bring the brackets back for minimized window (panel) buttons.

A new (hidden) setting was created to manage the brackets (label-decorations). Assuming you only have one Window Buttons plugin on your panels, the following command should re-enable them:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p "$(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep tasklist | awk '{print $1}')/label-decorations" -t bool -s true --create

I will create a "label-decorations" property under your tasklist plugin and set the value to true.
