Description Janet 2012-07-13 16:24:42 UTC

Although there is plenty of room in the configuration panel of the widgets the configuration icons are always the same tiny size. It seems to me increasing the size of the "small icons" increases the space between the configuration icons in some cases but the icons themselves never grow. It should be possible for the user to change those icons' size (and if only by modifying the theme itself). Preferably they should orientate towards the "small icons" size but as icon theme and plasma theme are two very different things there also might be other solutions.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The configuration icons's size should respect the fact that there are people who have not so good eyes and who need bigger icons.

This is exactly my impression: the space between the icons in the widgets' configuration panel becomes bigger but the icons stay tiny. This enhances the chance to hit something but it would be a lot nicer to identify this something before you hit it. Your proposal is very welcome, Janet, I'd too would appreciate to have bigger configuration icons, as they are now they are not recognizable at all for me.

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better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.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!
