Description Oliver Haag 2008-07-17 22:12:04 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

There's a white line under the tray icons since 4.1 Beta 2 (Or was it there a bit earlier, not sure). I'm wondering if this is a "feature" or just a bug, but it's very annoying in my opinion. It doesn't look good and you have to make the panel very large to get the tray icons arranged in two lines.

If someone really wants that line, a option to turn it on/off would be ok too but this thing makes KDE 4 ugly on my large desktop screen and unusable on the small display of my subnotebook, because it wastes a lot of space that I don't have there.
There's another white line under the desktop-selector that shouldn't be there in my opinion.

Would be nice if this line could be removed for the next version. I was hoping to get rid of it with RC 1 but it's still there :(

Another nice thing would be if the size of the tray-icons could be changed, but that's not that urgent.

it's part of the theme, so change the theme and you're golden.

Will try changing the theme, didn't know that I can change it there. It looked hardcoded for me because I was using slim-glow instead of the default theme and got the lines after the update to 4.1 Beta 2 without changing anything of the theme.
The reason seems to be that there are some files missing in slim-glow that KDE 4.1 needs (For example the background for the systray), so the files of the default-theme where used instead.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the invalid report,

Oliver
