You can see the 2 systems have the same desktop JWM, but the taskbar is deferent.

The task buttons in easyos are too wide.
The wifi list in easyos has been sorted by name, but we often need to sort the list by signal strength.

I hope easyos become more beautiful and convenience,we should learn from others.

@Thanos
There must be a setting in jwm that controls that. I don't know what it is.
Maybe you could find out, and report back:

Your first application tab as shown in your fossa image probably starts directly next to the virtual desktop box and not like you have drawn it. Also, the themes are different, you can even see that the font size of the fossa theme is smaller and more concise with narrower letters.

I don't know where to find the configuration files in EasyOS at all...
The setting you are looking for should be part of a file called jwmrc-tray, maybe with a numbered suffix, maybe hidden in /root.
The tag you want to change is named <TaskList>
If EasyOS was build like traditional Puppies, you can try to grep -d skip "<TaskList" /root/.jwm/* to find the location of this setting.
It is also possible that the configuration file is in /root (like in some *buntu derivates), so if the above command does not give you any output, try grep -d skip "<TaskList" /root/.*.
Open the file reported by grep output (if it makes sense*) in a text editor and change the tag to <TaskList maxwidth="200"/>, save it and restart jwm or X.

*) anything named blabla-previous doesn't make sense here
