You are asking for two different things, apparently.

If you want the taskbar entries to be color-coded by desktop, then no, I don't 
know how to do it, and I believe such functionality does not exist yet in KDE 
Task Manager. File a RFE.

However, if you want the taskbar to have entries only for the windows on the 
current desktop, it's easy --- right-click on the taskbar, select "Task 
Manager Settings", and check the "Only show tasks from the current desktop" 
checkbox in the "Filters" section on the "General" tab.

Or else be more precise about what you want. ;-)

HTH, :-)
