This solution would be the Rolls Royce in my opinion. Actually, one of the first things I checked for when I was confronted with my new Kickoff button was whether I was allowed to resize it in edit mode by dragging its edge. So there is at least some intuitivity with this. Implementing this could also benefit other widgets. For me it would be a "nice to have" if I could increase the size of "Pager" as an example. (don't consider this a feature request, I'm just brainstorming) While consistency is important, it might be worth considering this as a preferred size instead of a maximum. If we look at the "System Tray" for example, it would be a "nice to have" if it could be set as a minimum size. Here's why: it has happened several times to me that my Task Manger is "pixels away" from scaling down. Then I'm in a browser tab that starts playing media and the System Tray expands its size because of that extra icon. This causes the Task Manager to scale down and up again. Since the number of System Tray items is rather constant for me, just reserving space for those one or two extra icons would be nice. (again, not a feature request, just brainstorming) In the end I think everyone would benefit, if I were to put my launcher on a horizontal panel again I would appreciate that I could make the "clickable surface" wider than my panel height. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
