Description micro_charly 2021-04-26 15:25:39 UTC
Created attachment 137928 [details]
A screenshot of the wrong beaviour

SUMMARY
Icons-Only Task Manager's icons shrinks too much when a lot of voices from "Global Menu" appears on the Panel, despite there is still a lot of free space. This make difficult to use, especially on smaller screens.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup Panel in this way:"Window Title"-"Global Menu"-"Panel Spacer"-"Icons Only Task Manager"-"System Tray"-"Clock"
2. Open few programs
3. Open a program with a log list of menu's voices

OBSERVED RESULT
The Icons-Only Task Manager's icons shrinks too much, making them hard to distinguish from each other.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons-Only Task Manager's icons should start shrinking just when the Global Menu voices touch them, or a little bit early

I want to add new relevant informations. Without panel spacer the behavior does not manifest. With latte-dock and his default spacer neither.

Can confirm
Comment 5 micro_charly 2021-07-14 08:08:51 UTC
My screen is a 12,5 inches 1920*1080 pixels. 
In screen settings "global scale" parameter is set to 162,5%. In Font settings force Font DPI parameter is enable and set to 156.
With this configuration i can have an enough small interface ad still a nice viewable text for the inch-age of my monitor.
