How to minimize and maximize application windows in a new panel

I added a new panel and dragged all the applications from the desktop to it. I placed it at the bottom of the screen and the default panel at the top. The top panel contains the clock, notifications, battery, network, calendar, and the ‘show desktop’ button.
I placed all applications on the new panel at the bottom. The problem I’m facing is that when I open the terminal and press the minimize button, the window of the open application disappears from the desktop. If I click on its icon in the panel, a new interface for the application opens and cancels the previous operations.
Have Plasma 6.2.4
What is the solution to this problem?

If you’re trying to create a dock, the simple way is

  • Create a panel
  • Add an Icons only taskbar
  • Open the programs you want on the dock from the menu
  • Right click on the icon of the programs and choose pin to taskbar
  • Drag and drop them into the order you want
  • Set the panel to wrap content

It took me far too long figure that out! If I’ve misunderstood you then feel free to ignore me.

Or just choose a default new panel instead of a empty one.

OK
Done
