Bug ID: 410430
Summary: Panel Icon Size has "Too Small Maximum Size" in new
Icons KCM
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.16.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mvourla...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I didnt know where to report it, so feel free to forward it.
In Plasma 5.16 the Icons KCM was updated. The new update breaks something
fundamental for Panels. As was discussed in previous plasma versions there
should be a way for applets in panels to remain in CompactRepresentation. The
conclusion was that the "Panel Icon Size" would be used for this. Unfortunately
the new KCM sets a maximum value for this at 64px. This is NOT enough because
for sizes > 64px it allows applets in panels to have a FullRepresentation.
A good example why this is not enough is the Latte case. When an applet is
zoomed through parabolic effect its size could even reach 256px. So when the
FolderView applet is zoomed in Latte it changes from CompactRepresentation to
FullRepresentation and vice versa.
a user reported that manually this value can be altered with:
"kwriteconfig5 --group PanelIcons --key Size 256"
In my opinion the least that Plasma must provide to users is values up to 512px
from Plasma Icon size.
This should benefit also the plasma panels users.
I will attach also a screenshot of the in-question KCM
