Description Janet 2008-09-07 21:39:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When I set the small icons to a size above 16x16 only one icon seems to change in size: the clear field sign (e.g. in the konqueror addressbar). But all other "small" icons - menu icons, context menu icons, icons on buttons, the icons of konqueror's sidebar, the icons in the tabs, the bookmarks' icons - they all stay with 16x16. In KDE3 all those icons were controlled through the small icons' size setting and this is the behaviour I'd expect in KDE4 too. In KDE4 there's even an additional category, the small icons in the plasmoid configuration bars - they should be enlarged too when changing the small icons' size (or their size should be configurable seperately).

I cannot reproduce because I do not see how to configure the size of small icons to be anything other than 16x16. How are you configuring this?

systemsettings - appearance - icons - advanced - small icons

Oxygen theme offers 16 and 22 but you can set it to any size with any theme when you modify the theme file in an editor and add other sizes.

In KDE 4.2.2 some more icons follow the small icons settings. But I still miss this feature for the konqueror sidebar icons and the plasma-widged configuration bars.

Comment 3 Dotan Cohen 2009-05-08 08:26:20 UTC

So far as changing the settings in System Settings as stated in the previous comment, I can confirm this bug.

Comment 4 m.wege 2009-06-29 14:41:17 UTC

May be this fixed with http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=986243, also fixing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153689 . I can not test it, since I am not running svn and it is it scheduled for KDE 4.4 (Do not know why, it could at least apear in 4.3.1

Until this is clear, can someone add [UI] to the short description of this bug? Was requested here:

SVN commit 1002660 by cfeck:

Repect KDE icon sizes in KStyle

Starting with Qt 4, QStyle supported platform-/style-depended
icon sizes, but KStyle was returning the fixed values from
QCommonStyle. This commit fixes that.

It needs much testing in applications, especially the new
PM_LargeIconSize, which can be configured using the icon
sizes for "Dialogs".

Tabs, menus, and buttons should respect the "Small" icon
size automatically. Some other places might still use fixed
icon sizes, please report them with [UI] in the bug title.

This commit also makes pure Qt applications follow the KDE
toolbar icon size when using KStyle based classes, such
as Oxygen.

Thanks for this. But I don't think that the tabs in konqueror and the address field in konqueror should also follow the small icon size because the icon shown there is the favicon which is only available in 16x16. And when the small icon size is set to 22x22 that 16x16 favicon is scaled up to 22x22 which looks blurry (which is a pain at least for me because my eyes always try to focus on showing it sharp - which is not possible because it isn't sharp).
