Created attachment 174700 [details] Broken tray in 6.2 SUMMARY When expanding the notification tray to see hidden icons, the popup appears as a list/column view of labels, with small icons, instead of a grid of large icons with no labels. Screenshot attached. The 'shown' icons are just icons as normal. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install plasma 6.2.0 OBSERVED RESULT Mostly text in the 'hidden icons' tray EXPECTED RESULT Only icons in the 'hidden icons' tray SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241009 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.3 Kernel Version: 6.11.2-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090/PCIe/SSE2 Manufacturer: ASUS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There's a slender chance this is an intentional change, please keep this bug open regardless (Unless there's some other official place to track such things?), as it has considerable negative usability/accessibility impact and I would like to track those issues to resolution, regardless of their cause. I suspect it is not intentional not only because of those issues, but because I do not see any announcement of the new tray or any other reports of it or a mention in the changelog, so I supposed this may be something specific to my configuration, but a new profile did not help.
Not broken; this was an intentional design change in Plasma 6.2. :) It was done to fix multiple earlier usability, visual, and functional issues with the old square grid style, so I'm not going to keep the bug report open, sorry. Feel free to open new ones about issues you encounter with the new style, and we can look into those individually to see if they're valid and fixable without throwing out the design.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Not broken; this was an intentional design change in Plasma 6.2. :) Hey, I've unintentionally broken lots of things through intentional action. It happens :D Great to hear that this component is getting some love. I'm confident that we can sort out the new problems in a way that keeps the new fixes, too. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494578
