Created attachment 165389 [details] Panel width: 64 SUMMARY Icons used in "Icons-only Task Manager" have wrong vertical "spacing between icons" when the Task Manager is vertical and icons arranged in 2 columns. For "small" and "normal" they have large vertical borders. For "large" they are just large icons and not large spacing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move your Icons-only Task manager vertically. 2. Configure it to have: 2.1 Maximum columns: 2 2.2 Enable "Always arrange tasks in rows ..." 2.3 Spacing between icons: Small (please try also other options) 2.4 Apply OBSERVED RESULT Icons are "smallish", arranged over 2 columns with very large vertical spacing. See screenshot. EXPECTED RESULT Icons are "smallish", arranged over 2 columns with SMALL vertical spacing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Kernel Version : 6.7.2.zen1-1 Plasma Version : 5.27.10-2 KDE Version : 23.08.4-1 Frameworks Version : 5.114.0-1 Qt5 Version : 5.15.12+kde+r10-1 Qt6 Version : 6.6.1-3 Wayland Version : 1.22.0-1 XOrg/Wayland Version : 23.2.4-2 Appearance->Icons-: Breeze ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I suspect task manager is hard-coded to be always horizontal!
This also effects Plasma 6. Shall I file a separate bug for that?
If the code-base for the "Icons-only Task Manager" is the same, I think you don't need to file another bug here. Not sure, though.
Please don't rename the bug report. The current title is accurate. It's not the icons that are the problem, it's the box they live in.
This bug is still present in Plasma 6.0.3.1-2. Weirdly, while classic "Task manager" shows the right icon size, "Icons-Only Task Manager" has this icon height issue.
