Created attachment 169902 [details] tiny widgets SUMMARY Plasma "System widgets" (System monitor, HDD activity, Individual Core usage, etc.) horizontal size are way too small, in the attached picture, there are 3 widgets which I separated by red lines to show the tiny width. The width is sort of ~ 2x smaller than height, which renders them very hard to see. I can not control width manually, it is set automatically. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. add a widget to panel OBSERVED RESULT Widget's size horizontally is too narrow. EXPECTED RESULT It is at least 2x the vertical size, otherwise it is not really useful. Ideally, I can set the size in % or otherwise. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Graphics Platform: X11 Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I usually use just 2 widgets, just before I filed this bug, I added 3rd just to check, whether it's my "older" config or problem in general. I think the issue started when I started using Plasma 6, probably 6.0.1, but I had to recreate all of them, so they are not "very old" config. For the proportion, the picture contains neighbouring widgets too, only the "graph" widgets are affected.
Created attachment 169905 [details] Widget shrinked Same here since KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 and/or KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Similar to bug 487504 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487504 P.S. it doesn't matter if I use x11 or wayland
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/merge_requests/352
I saw the MR and went to edit QML manually, reloaded plasma (kquitapp6 plasmashell; kstart plasmashell) and now it so so much better! Now that I actually see it, 1.75 (approx 16/9) looks better than 2 times the height, but I guess that is quite subjective. Thank you Marco Martin, this was very quick!
I see that in MR there is an idea to use golden ratio from Fibonacci, that is a great idea, looks good to me.
Should be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/commit/7fd880b2c2d1991d7f30d8b681312c4de701aa91 in Plasma 6.1
Created attachment 170799 [details] Not yet... Still not solved, in my case: if I add the cpu monitoring widget to a vertical panel, it is still shrinked and therefore unreadable. KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Graphics Platform: Wayland or X11
Please open a new bug report specifically for that; it's different from what was reported here.
