Description m.wege 2008-09-30 19:55:12 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have everything in KDE set to the smallest icon size. In KDE 3.5 this is perfect. In my KDE4-test setting this looks very ugly because there is to much space around the small icons. I could not find any setting to adjust this.

I have made a screenshot comparing the space around small icons in the KDE 3.5.10 and KDE4.1.1 version.

This is the Oxygen style putting too much horizontal space in buttons; reassining.

Comment 3 m.wege 2008-09-30 20:16:53 UTC

Thanks for reassigning. I hope this is easy to fix. BTW: I believe this problem is not only the horizontal, but also the vertikal space.

I attach some examples from Konqui and Ktorrent.

It would be really great if this bug could be fixed in KDE 4.2

Comment 7 m.wege 2009-04-10 22:01:17 UTC

Problem stil exists in 4.2.2

Comment 8 m.wege 2009-06-09 15:05:10 UTC

Still present in 4.3. Beta 2? Is there any chance of a fix before release of 4.3? Or is it possible (for a non programmer to manipulate a file manually so that it is changed?

Comment 9 Camilla Boemann 2009-06-09 15:15:00 UTC

Sorry but I don't see the problem - a little bit in the very first attachment, but not in any of the other ones

Comment 10 m.wege 2009-06-09 15:39:20 UTC

Ups, for me this is so obvious. I am comparing this to KDE3, now it looks really clumsy in the small icon setting. The main problem I see is the distance between the toolbars or between toolbars and menu bars. That is definitely too much. If this is (I hope not) a wont fix, please tell me that there is way to change this manually in a config.

Can someone add [UI] to the short description of this bug? Was requested here:

Comment 12 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-11-26 11:02:55 UTC

Is this bug still valid ? 
Can someone compare with other widget styles.
My belief is that it is not specific to oxygen and cannot be fixed in there.
