A possible solution to the issue is filed here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187767 A quick search gave me 6 copies of this bug, but I can't mark them as duplicates. It seems a lot of people have this problem. Duplicates: bug 168579, bug 173949, bug 182193, bug 183519, bug 187767 Bug 168579: Request to put icons next to each other in vertical panels. Not a dupe. Bug 173949: Many bugs in one, marked as dupe of Bug 193015. Bug 182193: Requests that individual widget sizes be configurable. Not a dupe. Bug 183519: Complains that button size is not variable, it's a dupe or been duped by me, I will look for it and mark one as such. Bug 187767: Dupe of 182193. Thanks, piemonkey! *** Bug 188603 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 36592 [details]

This is getting ridiculous. Despite the wide (as opposed to tall) format of all other KDE icons and plasmoids, the Battery Monitor icon is almost twice as tall as it is wide in a vertical panel. See attached screenshot.
The virtual desktop plasmoid is also one of the plasmoids that do not visually scale well. Hello! This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable. Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging Thanks for your understanding!
