I just started using KDE plasma (on Debian Stretch). Now, I'm a simple, old-fashioned guy... ok, that's not true, but when it comes to Alt-Tab I am. I just want the plain old Alt-Tab behavior - like in KDE of old, like in LXDE, like in Windows - you know what I'm talking about. Nice row of icons in the middle of the screen.
so, I go to K > System Settings > Window Management > Task Switcher , and examine the 'Visualization' option. I see: Breeze, Flip Switch and Cover Switch. But none of them are what I'm looking for. I remember seeing other options on some other machine with Plasma - how do I get them to show up?

6Thank you for the "K > System Settings > Window Management > Task Switcher" hint, I was looking for it! Now, I've got the switching style of my choice in the list of available options. – codezombie – 2016-08-29T19:48:12.007
On CentOS7 with KDE4, I found a solution. The "compact" choice for in Main tab, Visualization area. Dropdown choices were Cover Switch, Flip Switch, Compact, Thumbnails, Large Icons, Text Icons, Small Icons, Grid, Informative). Grid produced a popup that covered my entire screen with huge icons. – PatS – 2018-06-20T16:49:13.387
@PatS Can you make this an answer with a screenshot? – einpoklum – 2018-06-20T17:00:47.117
@einpoklum, I can't do this easily as the system I did this on is no longer available. – PatS – 2018-07-16T18:44:57.227
