Yeah, and that was an intentional change in Plasma 5.25, which makes this a duplicate of Bug 456076. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 456076 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455618 --- Comment #21 from dft --- Please see https://youtu.be/VgLQ0jX4g7Q - Taken with Xorg. 62 Panel width is the minimum I can select before system tray changes to "singular" So yes icons do resize on both 5.24 and 5.25 but I think the MAX size is being capped sooner on 5.25. With regards to your second question "which is the way it's supposed to be. So there is no panel bug there." I think the bug still applies look at the relationship between icon size and panel width. Also for me using Wayland and GS isn't an option at all as it appears KDE is merely resizing a lower res image hence the pixelated text (https://youtu.be/582Abwqu368?t=8) Look at the title bars. So it makes the panel and icons bigger but not in the same ratio 5.24 did. Again, I think setting the "max size" for icons on taskbar has changed and would fix this. I would imagine this is some sort of constant in the code and changed after 5.24. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

In this video, the panel thickness changes when you change the scale factor, which is the way it's supposed to be.

Definitely hit that bug but it still doesn't scale like X11 in terms of icon size. I have made 4 short yt clips that can hopefully help. I don't run wayland as I currently have too many bugs with it and haven't had a chance to log them all. A few are evident in the video though (Start button keeps opening Anydesk, Search cancel in settings, flicker etc). https://youtu.be/v-UDF2NJQ1o Shows the bug in full with X11 5.24.5 vs 5.25.2 of plasma-desktop https://youtu.be/VmQeay-LYiM Shows how with X11 changing Global Scale (GS) also changes font dpi (Wayland does not do this) - Also shows no bug with the menu when clearing "search text" in this case "font". On my wayland video I have to press cancel / back twice. https://youtu.be/dF46BUTrgko Shows the bug in it's entirety as well as showing there's no bug in clicking "start" menu compared to Wayland. https://youtu.be/582Abwqu368 Wayland - shows doesn't scale like 5.24.5 X11 also shows blurry text and that changing GS doesn't change dpi like X11 does (Could be by design just something I noticed). Also shows "start" menu bug that keeps opening an app which doesn't even have an icon. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Compare this with 5.24.5 and icons fill more of panel. I have to change to 150% before icons get the same size as they do with 5.24.5 @ 125%. Though Wayland@150% then makes everthing else super big -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455618 --- Comment #15 from Nate Graham --- That doesn't make any sense, unless you're hitting the bug that Wayland doesn't inherit the scale properly on X11. Which is likely. So let's work around it: when you're in the Wayland session, please try to set the scale back to 100%, and then set it to 125%, then restart plasmashell manually with `plasmashell --replace` in a terminal window. You should see that the panel respects the scale factor and is 125% the thickness it was before. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455618 --- Comment #14 from dft --- I have also just tested the latest plasma-desktop with wayland and global scaling and it has the exact same bug. Icons on the panel do not scale. I set a global scale of 125%, rebooted. Icons are small. Then I ran plasmashell --replace and the same thing, icons are small. So this bug appears on both Wayland and XOrg as well as Font DPI and Global Scaling according to my tests. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455618 --- Comment #13 from dft --- The only reason I don't use Global Scaling is all my windows and text gets blurry. I know it's the "recommended" way as the tooltip says but using Font DPI is the only way I get crisp sharp windows, icons and fonts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I can reproduce the issue on X11 when using (default) Plasma scaling, not Qt scaling. But I'm not sure it's worth fixing since using the font DPI setting to approximate full-screen scaling is explicitly unsupported. That said, while the global scaling slider in System Settings > Display and Monitor will do the right thing on Wayland, it won't do the right thing on X11 because the Panel thickness does not respect it when using Plasma scaling rather than Qt scaling. So I think we have two paths forward here: 1. Investigate and fix the bug 2. Move forward with making Qt scaling the default on X11 so that the Global Scale slider affects the Panel (as expected, and as it already does on Wayland) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
