Description boski_cinek 2012-08-12 09:41:44 UTC 
Hi,
I've noticed that my icons tend to change it's size, when some new icons are displayed. Since image is worth thousand of words:

Notice that small size changed when device-notifier icon appeared. It also happens when "i" notification icon appears.
Note that IMVHO icons have proper size on 2nd (bottom one) image - they're very fuzzy and not appealing on 1st one.
I've been seeing this also in 4.8.x, so it's probably not regression issue.

BTW: If I may propose something: plasma-desktop would give much nicer user experience if small icons (starting from 22x22) wouldn't be smooth scaled, i.e. icons would have size 22x22 if they fit to panel size and if not they would be down-scaled right to 16x16 (instead of 21x21). Small icons tend to lose a lot with smooth scaling (as can be seen on attached image).
Thanks for great work and let me know if you need more details/testing.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Easiest way: downsize panel to something close to 24px
2. Go to systray setting and toggle visibility of device-notifier icon (always/never)
Actual Results:  
Icons resized

Expected Results:  
Icons size shouldn't change

Which exact KDE version is this about?
Also please attach image files to the bug report instead of using an external storing facility.

Hi!

I have KDE 4.9.5 and my systemtray is flickering every time i start flash or when my music, in Juk, is changed to next song.

Ups, sorry! Wrong bug. Sorry again!

Can you verify this problem still exists in 4.10 series? The system tray got completely rewritten and from what I can tell the icon grid size is now fix.

Hi,
I've just tried to reproduce this issue on 4.10.2 and couldn't do it. So I think this can be marked as fixed. Thank you all for amazing work on KDE!
