[Solved] KDE Large Icon Application Switcher missing

So in KDE you can change the design of the Alt+Tab application switcher. On my previous installation, I always used one called "Large Icons", which was a Mac OS inspired application switcher that only showed icons. In my installation this switcher is no longer available (Settings -> Window Management -> Task Switcher). I can only select Cover switch, Flip switch, Breeze and Breeze dark. Does anyone know where that nice application switcher went?

Re: [Solved] KDE Large Icon Application Switcher missing

Do you have the kdeplasma-addons installed ?

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/kwin/tabbox/big_icons/metadata.desktop
/usr/share/kwin/tabbox/big_icons/metadata.desktop is owned by kdeplasma-addons 5.8.1-1

KDE System Settings -> Window Management -> Task Switcher options: http://imgur.com/HWo5hL3
