Yes, I suppose the Task Manager should have a minimum size. However when there are lots of widgets on the panel *something* has to make room. *** Bug 418878 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 447603 *** |
Created attachment 131348 [details] Screenshot. SUMMARY If the icons only task manager is used it may happen that depending on the number of entries, the scaling and the panel height, the icons become unusable small. Please see the screenshot. One can also observe that the virtual desktop switcher scales fine with an increasing panel height, i.e. taking more with a bigger panel, while, the taskbar icons don't like to be scaled only in y-direction and eventually become so narrow that the even icons won't be displayed any longer. Maybe a minimal and sane icon size can defined and if the space becomes too small, a drop down panel like for the systemtray could be used to display icons which no longer fit? Probably you know a better solution? At least that would keep it usable -- even if the vertical / horizontal scaling of the icons are far off being ~ 1.
