Version: 1.1 (using KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-10mdk I use panel size 46 (Normal) at 800x600 resolution. so, I need to conserve precious panel space for TaskbarApplet. so, if System Tray uses 16x16 size icons and clock is also set to its half size, and allow both the applets to be top and bottom to each other. example: [4:35] <- Clock Applet [o#<>] <- system tray (with Klipper, Kmix and kget) or [xyzabc] <- Quick Launcher [o#$-&*] <- System Tray in the above way, one can preserve more precious panel space. thanks.
honestly, this is a very bad idea. how would you know the difference between the quick launcher and the system tray icons? yes, they are different in how they behave and are used. not to mention keeping the geometry together would be nearly impossible and still have it look ok (systemtray is fairly dynamic and often fairly populated; the clock doesn't change in size, the quick launcher rarely does). having the applets stack their own UI vertically is much saner, and makes the code much simpler while allowing the user to keep the left<->right or top<->bottom ordering straight.
