SUMMARY

As of v0.10.0, plasmoid widgets are smaller than launchers (see attached). In addition, the weather plasmoid does not resize at all when highlighted, which looks rather strange.

The bug is also present on the latest git version of latte-dock.

EXPECTED RESULT

For all elements in the dock to be roughly the same size.

Notice, Latte has removed all workarounds so such behaviors are applets responsibility

1. Make sure that you have increased your plasma panels applets maximimum icon size at 192 px. https://userbase.kde.org/LatteDock/FAQ#How_can_I_set_the_maximum_icon_size_for_applets_in_Plasma_panels.3F

2. For the weather widget you need to ping its developers to provide a Square layout in order for the parabolic effect to work correctly.

all the above are intentional.

Hi Michail,

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. Setting the plasma panel setting as per the FAQ didn't work for me as kwriteconfig doesn't exist on my system (and I couldn't find it in the package repository either). Maybe it's been deprecated?

2. Thanks, I'll do this.
