Amazing. It's a tough problem to solve because there is only so much space on the panel, so when it already has a huge number of items in desktop mode, the results are probably going to end up worse in Touch mode. I'm open to suggestions. Created attachment 152187 [details]
Enabling the Touch Mode completely collapses the task manager
For me, the tray icons become so giant that the task manager collapses to a few pixels of size :)

I'm open to > suggestions. TBH, I'd just revert this until there is a way to rescale *all* panel items equally. Right now, some items expand (system tray), some shrink (task manager), and all others stay the same size. This is at the very least inconsistent (why are system tray icons more important than any other panel item)? The thing is that there isn't really a generic way to fix this problem. It's simply another variant of the age-old issue of Task Manager icons shrinking to an unusable size when there's not enough space on the panel because everything else is too big and has a fixed size (Bug 447603). In Touch Mode, System Tray icons become larger so that they become large enough to touch with a fingertip, and this triggers Bug 447603. Fixed by Niccolò Venerandi with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/d0701c19d91c963b5cc1574863961faf07a61765 in Plasma 6.5.0! Git commit d0701c19d91c963b5cc1574863961faf07a61765 by Niccolò Venerandi. Committed on 22/08/2025 at 07:05. Pushed by niccolove into branch 'master'. Make panel scrollable when overflowing When there are more widgets and available space on the panel, the panel will become scrollable! This also fixes the minimum size of the task manager so that icons can always preserve their full size.
