It's because I've been using bottomPart or the implicitHeight to make the notification "taller" so as to give the icon padding. > Is there a way to give the icon itself padding? I've been using anchors but there's nothing I can think of to anchor it to? If I anchor it to the notification text in any way, I can add a margin, sure, but it gets //stretched out beyond belief// if there's too much text. I've been using fonts to illustrate the problem but your screenshots //do a better job.// In addition, changing the height of the **icon** results in several binding loops (gross), or in an icon that's not a square (album art), or the situation in your second screenshot. Hardly ideal. I just don't know how to add bottom padding //to the notification icon itself// and have the height of the notification adapt accordingly. P.S. This did, however, shed some light on things that have been bothering me about the current master. > Status quo: F6539251: Without the patch.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6539251> Should this happen? There's no description yet there's an empty space. The icon doesn't resize accordingly. This is what happens in master with fonts >10pt and scaling that's a non-integer that's not a multiple of 0.5 (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc.), resulting in padding underneath the icon (not the notification text!) and none above. For example: F6539300: image.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6539300> The plot thickens - another screenshot of **master** (not this patch) F6539302: image.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6539302> I'm assuming this second one is because of the close button. This doesn't happen with this patch but I'm assuming I merely obscured the problem rather than solved it. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. The padding problems result from: - in master, because the icon is defined as "units.iconSizes.largeSpacing" without any regard for the user's font (or scaling factor actually, except when it's 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3) - in this patch, because of the units.iconSizes.largeSpacing thing and my lack of proficiency in QML and inability to give the icon padding without manipulating either its height or that of the entire notification (doing the former results in **several binding loops** OR an icon that's **distorted in size** and isn't a square... doing the latter results in the problem depicted in your screenshots) REPOSITORY R120 Plasma Workspace REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D17975 To: rooty, #vdg, #plasma, ngraham, davidedmundson Cc: broulik, Codezela, abetts, filipf, davidedmundson, hein, ndavis, plasma-devel, kvanton, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, sebas, apol, mart
