Bug ID: 502298
Summary: Icon spacing setting not available for Icons-and-Text
task manager
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager widgets
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ndawinteract...@gmail.com
CC: qydwhotm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to Icons-only task manager
2. Open settings dialog, adjust Icon Spacing setting to "medium"
3. Switch Icons-and-Text task manager
OBSERVED RESULT
The launcher, or icon only elements in the task manager is still crowded
together with smallest spacing
EXPECTED RESULT
Icon spacing for the launchers in Icons-and-Text task manager should be
adjustable, with the Icon Spacing UI element exposed in the settings dialog and
follows the settings of the Icons-only task manager. The "Medium" default in
the Icons-only task manager looks better aesthetically because the icons are
not so crowded. This also makes both task managers appear consistent in terms
of looking when switched back and forth.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro 24.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I did some digging in the code, in taskmanager code Task.qml:
Layout.maximumWidth has hard-coded width for Icons-and-text task manager, but
the width is variable according to the Icon Spacing settings for Icons-only
task manager (tasks.iconsOnly). Update the width calculation for Icons-and-text
task manager launchers to incorporate the Icon Spacing settings would fix it.
It won't break current look, as users can choose to have "Small" spacing to
make it look like current implementation. Users however, gains the ability to
choose wider spacing for launcher icons.
