Description Harald Sitter 2012-10-21 12:17:38 UTC 
At Kubuntu we throw a set of additional widgets in the netbook panel which highlights a curious interpretation of unified icon size and placement.

Please take a look at the attached screenshot...

The icons for SAL and the pages are properly aligned with the names and appear to be of the same size as the text, so far so good. Moving on the systray where icons suddenly are about 25% bigger and appear weirdly displaced to the bottom (note that this is without desktop effects, so it may look 'better' with desktop effects). The lock/shutdown and window list icons then go all out and consume just about the entire panel height.

Also what I just noticed the border around the pages also seems aligned to the bottom rather than the center.

Again, this is without desktop effects, so it may look "better" (a.k.a visually less fucked up with those on). However seeing as netbooks tend to have weak cpus with onboard graphics I'd rather not strain the poor machine with things that are not exactly necessary.

Reproducible: Always

Hello!

This bug report 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 bug is already resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present 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!
