Limit Number of Games in Taskbar Menu

I'd like to see an option under Tasbar Preferences that allowed the user to control how many games show up in the taskbar menu. Currently this is fixed at 20 (seems excessive to me). On a practical note this can cause the menu to not appear at all on Ubuntu if I have more than four destination links enabled as well. This is due to the appindicator system not having a scroll feature - if the menu won't fit on screen, it simply won't be displayed.
Thanks for looking.

also it currently shows games that are not installed on the current system as well as games I have completely removed from my library.

Thanks for the link - depressingly old issue though ;)
I'll add my points about appindicator and dead games to that.

That's weird. Have you played more than 5 games since installing steam? I just installed Manjaro last week and my list has 20 games like it did in Ubuntu. I'm using steam beta btw

This is a relatively new (~1 month old) installation of Arch. I tested every Windows game in my library; after I finished I uninstalled them and don't use Steam Play atm. Could that be why?

I will test some more native games and see.

edit: Yea, the limit is still 20, not 5 like on Windows. It was just a coincidence because I had only played 5 native games on this installation. Played 2 more native games and now it's at 7. Also, if I re-enable Steam Play for all titles the list goes back to 20 (disabling it brings it back down to 7).

Had me hopeful for a second there... :)
