Created attachment 154096 [details] KDE default panel SUMMARY Panel widgets not scaled evenly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add color picker and a few system monitor sensor widgets to default plasma panel 2. See how system tray icons are tiny compared to system monitor sensor, color picker and date widgets OBSERVED RESULT System tray icons are tiny compared to system monitor sensor, color picker and date widgets. EXPECTED RESULT I'd expect system tray icons to scale evenly with system monitor sensor, color picker and date widgets. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.26 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-53-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
Update: I realized that system tray widget itself has Panel Icon Size options: - Small - Scale height with panel After fiddling a bit more with my panel, I realized that the functionality is quite fragmented and complex. For example: - System tray widget has sizing option - System monitor sensor widget always takes the whole height - Date and time widget/color picket scales with them a bit weird (i.e. color picker scales up in size on 44px+ panel height while date and time widget increases in size dynamically/on each panel increase) I feel like this behavior should be much more simple and consistent.
The fact that the system tray doesn't scale with panel height is intentional; all other widgets (all of them) currently scale with the panel, so they're all consistent with each other. Of course, it depends on the content on some extent; as an example, you cannot provide icons at *any* size, as that would cause blurring. So, we draw icons as big as possible with the given size. Other widgets which don't have that issue just draw the content covering all the available space.
I guess looking back that makes sense. Blurred icons would definitely be worse. I appreciate the fast response.
