Use any VNC connection to a plasma5 desktop. Resize the vnc window appropriately. Then, unlock widgets. Use the hamburger menu of the taskbar to resize it in height, so that for example in 'icons only task manager' the icons are big enough to see a difference to before. Lock widgets again. Now, resize the vnc window Next, the taskbar goes back to 'default' settings, the resizing done above is gone... Any idea how to fix this?
Please confirm your plasma version and reopen The panel used to save it's settings based on monitor size, in newer versions thickness (the relevant one here) is global.
I checked again: plasma-5.11.4 kf5-plasma-5.41.0 tigervnc-server-1.8.0-5 all from fedora27, updates-testing repos enabled. sorry to say, but the resizing of the vnc window makes changes in the taskbar reset. Before, i had fiddled with the height, i had double-spaced clock with time and date in separate lines. Then resizing the vnc window - and the taskbar is reset to small icons, time and date in a single line neighboring each other. You were referring to a newer version, which one exactly?
Is it possible to get a video of the problem? I didn't use VNC but I used VirtualBox, changed size several times and panel height remained the same.
