Two row system tray

2014-02-26 Thread Jonathan Ryshpan
My system tray used to have two rows of small icons.  Now it has one
row: items that hide themselves into the tray are small and not
resizeable (Thunderbird, Qalculate, Knemo); native widgets are large and
resizeable (Klipper, Kmix, Device Notifier, Network Management).  The
Pager and Task Manager both have two rows.

How can I force the tray to have two rows?  Is this possible?

System is Fedora-20 with all upgrades running KDE-4.12.2 .

Thanks - jon

Yes Jon, 
unlock the widgets (if there locked) right and click on the panel > panel 
options > panel settings. In panel settings and slightly increase the height 
of the panel.

Well, if you "right click" on the small triangle to the left of the clock 
you'll get a "System Tray Settings" option.  But, I don't see any settings for 
number of rows.

This only makes things worse.  The large (native) icons get larger,
while the icons put into the tray by applications stay the same size.  A
screenshot is attached.  The tray does not become two row.  Just to be
clear, I am asking about the *tray* and not the *panel*.

Neither do I.  This is the first thing I tried and where I started to
get confused.  The system tray (as I wrote) *used to* have two rows
before I dinked with
System Settings->Applications Appearance
or possible before a system update (both happened at more or less at the
same time), but now there seems to be no way to get back.

Thanks - jon

FWIW, I've never seen rows in the systray.  The width of the systray on my 
systems has simply expanded/contracted as icons appear.  "Software Updater" 
being an example of one that comes and goes.  I also don't see any settings for 
the "panel" that would constrain the width of the systray.but if there were 
one I could see that having an effect.

Yes adjusting the *panel* size here by a small amount will give me one or two 
rows in the sys tray. See attached..

I can't think what else it could be, I'm using Oxygen for workspace and 
application appearance and Nouveau.

Does it happen with a new user, maybe one of of the plasma*rc files got 
corrupt somehow.
