Version: (using KDE 4.0.82) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages because in this case values are "continuous" and there are too many of them -> thus spinbox is more useful (editbox + ^v widgets).
Repeat after me: there is NO kdesktop and NO kicker in KDE 4.
When I type "plasma" I end up with kdestop (thanks to kde bugzilla). It is not my fault, so please, spare the irony.
I meant "systemsettings", not "plasma" (but I am not sure if the incorrect components are included there as well).
Created attachment 25326 [details] screenshot Maciej, do you mean this?
Yes, indeed.
hmm.. this actually doesn't make any sense: we don't have randomly sized icons. they come in certain well known sizes. even if we render them directly from the svg on the fly (which still has a number of technical issues, btw) you'll get really nasty results in many cases due to the grid alignment issue (resulting in distorted and blurred icons; it's a math issue) we offer pre-rendered icons that look good and are designed for those grid sizes. that's why it's a drop down. so a spin box is rather out; if anything a *slider* would make more sense here.
I fully agree with Aaron.
Aaron, this one kind (only this) is already sized from 20 points to 256 points (with step = 1 pixel). It looks like absurd to change +/-1 point I have to pick up value from the combo. From what you said I guess, you are talking about fixed set sizes (like 22, 32, 64). But I fully agree the slider would be great (to be exact: with spinbox, reason, it is not guaranteed you have all values reachable from slider).
Git commit 9496728fcb6c012cf1deb773a3d0a5129b4a629e by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 27/04/2018 at 14:28. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. [Icon KCM] Port to new design This completely drops the icon customization with icon effects and only retains the icon size settings. Should there be any custom icon effects, pressing "Defaults" in the KCM will remove them. I also couldn't find any trace of that "animations enabled" check box it used to have. It adds drag and drop support for installing archives as themes. It can also download them from remote location when dropped from e.g. a browser. Installing theme files actually never worked in Plasma 5 as it got broken in the port from KIO NetAccess to storedGet. An animated preview is also added on hover showing a common selection of icons.

The request for a spinbox isn't implementable given how our icons work. They're designed for specific sizes, and a UI to switch between them is best implemented using a combobox, not a spinbox.
