--- Comment #18 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- So basically here's the situation. In the past we had a global "Panel icon size" setting that controlled the maximum size that icons can grow to across all Plasma panels. This presented some issues: 1. It was not presented as a maximum size, so people would adjust it, see that nothing happened, and get confused. 2. Not all widgets respected it, so even if you did have a thick panel, its effects often seemed random. 3. It was global in scope, when in principle it makes sense to be a panel-specific setting because not all panels are thick enough for the setting to be applicable. 1 and 2 were theoretically fixable using the existing infrastructure, but 3 was not. For these reasons, we deleted the setting late in Plasma 6, and deleted the backend code that it controlled in Plasma 6. Instead, all widgets scale with the panel thickness. This presents new issues: 1. Not all widgets do this! So sizing still feels random. 2. People with very thick panels who don't want their panel icons to be so huge no longer have a way to make that happen. Short term, this bug report proposes capping the maximum size of just Kickoff, since it's the thing people are complaining most about. Medium term, I think we should probably re-add a maximum icon size setting, but make it panel-specific, and then also put in the work to port *every* widget to use it, so that it doesn't feel random. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
