xfce icons instead of tabs

Finally figured it out. Posted in case anyone has trouble with this.

Two solutions:

Right click panel> Panel Preferences> Mode> Deskbar

If horizontal mode is to be selected then go to the items section > Window Buttons and uncheck show button labels.

    For my taskbar programs are displayed like:

    (symbol of chromium)askubuntu.com

    I would like it as:

    symbol of chromium [no titles]

    askubuntu.com

    imagemagick man page

    Like in cinnamon or windows 7. No annoying long titles. Displaying whichever window by title whenever I click on the symbol.

    I am running xfce xubuntu x64 tried a ton of different options in the settings manager, but cannot locate it, if it is there. How would I go about doing this so my desktop doesn't look like a complete mess?
