Can confirm, the icons could perhaps be smaller.

Created attachment 188839 [details] Example of abnormally sized icons SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add the Task Manager (with text) to a vertical panel 2. Set the panel width to a reasonable size (120 at most, for me) OBSERVED RESULT The text of the window titles cannot be read beyond the first few characters because the icons are ridiculously oversized. EXPECTED RESULT The icons should be no taller than the letters they are next to - at the same aspect ratio, this would make room for many more characters to be displayed. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It feels like you shouldn't even be allowed to add this widget to a vertical panel. The icons are so huge that you cannot read the title of your windows beyond the first few characters. If they were a normal size for being displayed alongside text, then this would be less of an issue - in my case, something like 10 more characters would be able to fit on the screen. The absolutely gargantuan size of the Application Launcher icon on a vertical panel is a separate issue... Are vertical panels really even ready for production use?
