Description Josep Mengual 2021-08-16 11:55:50 UTC

SUMMARY
Icons in the icon only task manager before 5.85.0 resized with the widget (vertical) size. Now they don't resize as "perfectly", they go from small to medium/ medium to big whereas before they could have intermediate sizes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use KDE Frameworks 5.85.0
2. Create a panel with an icons-only task manager
3. Set the panels size to 100

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons are too small for the panel/widget size

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons are resized to fit the widget much finely

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 5.13.10-zen
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

Are you using a fractional scale factor on X11, like 150% or 125%?

Comment 4 Josep Mengual 2021-08-16 18:59:20 UTC

No, I use a 1920x1080 dual monitor setup if that matters.

Ohh, right. This was an intentional change to actually fix a bug; see https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/commit/32bfd1ed01f0cbd48071dadf89458edbb8edfd1e.

I understand that you were previously relying and enjoying the bug that cause icons to be too large. :) However this was never the design goal, and now the bug has been fixes so you are seeing the size that these icons were always supposed to be displayed at. :)

Hopefully you can increase the size of your panel/dock if you want the icons to be bigger.
