Kate's massive global menu on a 768p screen
This would make the widget more friendly on different sized screens, like the smaller SteamDeck display, for sure. It would also improve accessibility for people needing larger text. A user-facing option isn't necessarily the correct approach here. And also, is there even a problem at all? To be honest, I don't see it. Nothing is cut off, nothing is missing, and there's adequate whitespace to separate items. And this is even with a fairly worst-case scenario situation, with a huge menubar, a crowded panel, and a small screen. Can you clarify what exactly the problem is?

On my setup just adding a few windows and workspaces (which I add via a dynamic workspaces kwin script) is enough to make the task-manager widget scale it's icon relatively small. It's not a huge problem and my setup is somehow niche. I've already removed some shortcuts in my panel to reduce the problem. But I understand that the feature would be more of a nice-to-have then a must-have one. Created attachment 188639 [details]
