Detail of the systray on Latte
If you want to edit the Latte systray you can do show at the Latte layout files. But please give me some information what setting you are adding in the configuration file, because I can play with this with my systray tweaks at https://github.com/psifidotos/plasma-systray-latte-tweaks (In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #2) > If you want to edit the Latte systray you can do show at the Latte layout > files. If I understand you well you mean that I can edit the .latte files like for Plasma desktop files, right? Well, I've done like I used to do in the old file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc: I have quitted Latte, searched, in the the default layout (where lives the dock which systray I want to modify), the line beginning with "extraItems=", added "iconSize=" as a new line right after, and played with different values; then I restarted latte, but there have been no changes and the file Por omisi贸n.layout (that's how it's named the default layout file in my spanish configured desktop) is overwritten every time I restart Latte. I supose that I'm not doing the things well...

I don't mind very much the separation between icons but the size of them. Sometimes they are hard to distinguish but not for being too close one to the others, but because a bad "legibility" of the icons themselves. I don't know if I've explained me well; as you sure have noted, english tonge is not one of my talents 馃槄. Please dont hesitate saying "Hey, dude, I don't understand a s*it of what you say". Ill try to do my best and try again Send me a plasma applets rc file that you have added the iconSize record and it works in your Plasma 5.18 system and your plasma panels. You can read at, https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/blob/master/applets/systemtray/package/contents/config/main.xml#L28 what values are accepted for iconSize, it is NOT a pixels value. > Send me a plasma applets rc file that you have added the iconSize record and

Here you have it:

plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
As you can see, only adding the line "iconSize=2" at the end of the paragraph that beins with "extraItems" in the section "[Containments][26][General]" does the trick. I attach below also a before/after screenshot for ilustrative purposes. Created attachment 126232 [details]
Systray without and with "iconSize" tweak
that works just fine with Latte you probably have added the iconSize value in wrong systray... I will add that option in my plasma systray tweaks also... please go to folder "~/.config/latte" and run command "ls -al" and send here its output, I want to check something. (In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #12) > that works just fine with Latte you probably have added the iconSize value > in wrong systray... I will add that option in my plasma systray tweaks > also... I think your words might be significant: What do you mean with 芦works just fine with Latte禄 and 芦you probably have added the iconSize value in wrong systray禄? I have not added anything anywhere but in the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, and only after you asked me to send you that file. I think I mentioned it in the other bug, but probably I should have done it here too. I'm using a "dummy" user account for all these tests. I try to do it always, if possible, when I report a bug. I have a user account on my system that I only use for tests in case of problems. That user gets completely wiped its home folder every time I need to report a new bug, so I reproduce the bug with a fresh and clean session. I do this to be sure that the problem, isn't due to some configuration that isnt supported anymore by KDE nor because some corrupted file or anything that could come from an user configuration. I explain this for make clear that these tests have been done without any change from my side but adding "inconSize=2" in the plasma config file to show you haow I could increase the icons size in the Plasma panel but not in Latte. But besides that, everithing is done using default values. Sorry if I had made you think otherwise So, according to you comment I understand that you are asuming that I should have added the iconSize thing somewhere besides the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, am I right? If yes, please, tell me where should I have added the "iconSize" modifier? Maybe there is the root of the problem. (In reply to Michail Vourlakos from comment #13) > please go to folder "~/.config/latte" and run command "ls -al" and send here > its output, I want to check something. "pruebas", meaning "tests", is the username, as you can guess. ls -al /home/pruebas/.config/latte total 32 drwxr-xr-x 1 pruebas pruebas 302 feb 20 21:47 . drwxr-xr-x 1 pruebas pruebas 1364 feb 20 21:47 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 3804 feb 20 15:01 Extendido.layout.latte -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 1600 feb 20 21:47 L1.layout.latte -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 1391 feb 20 21:47 L2.layout.latte -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 122 feb 20 21:47 .multiple-layouts_hidden.layout.latte -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 3186 feb 20 15:01 Plasma.layout.latte -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 4978 feb 20 21:47 'Por omisi贸n.layout.latte' -rw-r--r-- 1 pruebas pruebas 3948 feb 20 15:01 Unity.layout.latte Solution A: You can use my plasma systray tweaks than now provide an IconSize option to choose the icons size from: https://github.com/psifidotos/plasma-systray-latte-tweaks Solution B: The iconSize=2 value must be added in your latte layout file.

Ok, that was the problem. I had to add "iconSize=2" as a new line to the paragraph that begins with 芦[Containments][Some number here][General]
extraItems=禄 in the .latte file that affects the dock in question. Exactly like in the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and problem gone. I should have digged deeper in those .latte files once I knew of them; we would have save many headaches. 馃槄
I've tried your GUI as well. Perfect. The perfect solution for the vast majority, I think, who dont feel confortable editing config files o that ignore absolutelly, like I did, that exist those useful .latte files inside .config/latte directory.
It also has that icon color configuration tool that is very useful when one cant see well the icons because the desktop wallpaper has a similar color.
Very nice tool . I hope it will be integrate in Latte so people doesnt have to installa and uptade it from Github manually.
So, problem solved. Efjarist贸 pol铆, Michail. :)
