Version: (using KDE 4.2.96) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When I make the panel bigger i.e. higher the icons in it increase up to a certain size (48x48?) but then don't follow the panel sizing any further. When I have a huge panel about 80 height the application starter icons in it still stay at small 48 size. The reason why I increase the height of the panel is to have better visible i.e. bigger icons in it and the "natural" expected behaviour is to get this by just increasing the height of the panel. In KDE3 there was the kicker option ConserveSpace=false to achieve this effect, is there a hidden configuration like this for the panel too?
> is there a hidden configuration like this for the panel too? no, there isn't. this is, i suppose, "yet another" request for manual sizing of widgets in the panel, though.
I don't want to resize widgets in the panel manually. I expect that the icons in the panel resize automatically when the panel is resized.
And IMHO it *is* a bug because the icons *do* resize automatically as expected but not above a certain size. They just stop resizing at some point (maximum 48x48).
To me it also more seems to be a bug because the panel ignores the panel icon size settings of the icon theme too. When in the theme icons bigger than 48x48 are allowed (and even set as default) it is ignored, max. icon size in Panel always is 48x48 regardless of the theme settings. I mean this settings in the icon theme's index.theme: PanelDefault=64 PanelSizes=16,22,32,48,64,80,128,256 These settings should be respected by the panel and when the icons for the application starters/menu are available in svg a seamless resizing should be possible regardless of the size steps in the theme, means: default, minimum and maximum should at least be respected.
Guess this is a duplicate of Bug 201347.

@Peter: min and max won't make sense in this case (it would affect everyone and the minimum size is really up to the size of the panel), though the default size should probably be followed as a maximal size.
