Description Mircea Kitsune 2013-04-26 12:09:02 UTC

I recently posted my belief that several plasma widget have size limits which are too big, making them difficult or impossible to use due to the space they take on the desktop. http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=110386 As advised, I'm making a ticket for each plasmoid which I believe to have excessive size limits which should be lowered.

This one is for the Weather Forecast widget. Both its vertical and especially horizontal size limits are pretty big, and I believe they could be smaller. Horizontally it occupies nearly 1 / 4 of the screen at a resolution of 1680 x 1050. In my opinion it could be allowed to get even half smaller horizontally compared to its current size limit.

Here is a screenshot of the widget at its smallest possible size. I believe the text could be visibly squeezed both horizontally and vertically below that: http://i42.tinypic.com/359myiu.jpg

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!
