Please attach a screenshot that depicts the problem. Also, do you notice the same issue with the default Task manager or Icons-Only Task Manager? Created attachment 151052 [details]
KDE 5.25.3. Task Manager large icons
The Task bar may not look too horrible but it was more compact in v5.24.4, and I liked it a lot more back then.

Not sure what happens with the Icons-Only Task Manager, I practically never used it.
Sounds like an upstream change (which was intentional) interacted badly with your 3rd-party Task Manager widget. You should report the bug for the developer of that widget. > You should report the bug for the developer of that widget. Who would that be? I've sent an email to Hein hein@kde.org, whose name appears on the Task Manager's "About" tab but have not received any response. Whoever developed your 3rd-party Task Manager fork. Eike Hein was the developer of the built-in Task manager widget, but he's not active in Plasma development anymore. > Whoever developed your 3rd-party Task Manager fork. Eike Hein was the developer of the built-in Task manager widget, but he's not active in Plasma development anymore. I was under impression that I was using one of the built-in Task Manager widgets (the other one is Icons-Only Task Manager), I didn't download anything special. On the "About" tab of the Task Manager I'm using it shows the following URL https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Tasks and lists Hein hein@kde.org as the contact. Oh my mistake, when you said you were using "Task Manager v4.0" I assumed that was a 3rd-party widget since nobody really uses that name for the default one. I can confirm the issue when using a traditional Task Manager on a vertical panel. Glad it got sorted out.
> ≥ 40px thickness vertical panel
In my case the panel width is 200px.
Right, text doesn't start appearing until it's thicker. But I can reproduce the issue of the icons being too large starting at 40px thickness. Is it the same for you? > But I can reproduce the issue of the icons being too large starting at 40px thickness. Is it the same for you?
Kind of. I think the icon size at 20-25px is how the icons looked before the change.
Also, if I set the panel width to 800px (eight hundred px) the Task Manager icons strangely become smaller and the Task Manager *vertically* starts to look the way it did before the change. I also would like to contribute to this problem. I use KDE with 4k monitor, and since upgrade, icons have become too small. Before, when I adjusted panel size, icons would decrease/increase accordingly, scaling smoothly, perfectly for my needs. Now, icons are fixed in size, and too small for me. I use 4K monitor, vertical panel of 256 size, with Task Manager. Icons are too small. https://i.imgur.com/Mqd4ZrC.png Can you please restore smooth icon sizing functionality, or introduce setting in Task Manager so I can set icon size? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 456076 *** |
