Bug ID: 440140 Summary: Icon resize behaviour inconsistent, affecting usability of unscaled high-resolution desktops Product: plasmashell Version: 5.22.3 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: riddervancoca...@hotmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY KDE Plasma allows icon sizes to be set for the 'Toolbar', 'Main Toolbar', 'Small Icons', 'Panel' and 'Dialogs', provided that the icon theme's index.theme file provides the necessary information and icons in the requisite sizes are available. These settings have no effect, however, on the icons in - Application Menu (and the general list of entries in the Application Launcher); - System Tray; - System Settings, side bar. They also do not affect the icons in the Dolphin side bar which - unlike other parts of the interface - has its own icon size setting. The user will not, likely, encounter any usability issues if they scale their desktop using a global scale of 175% or more since at this scale all icons should be easy to identify. However, if they set KDE Plasma to use a 100% scale they can only set some parts of the interface to use larger icons: icons in the system tray, for instance, will become, and remain, tiny on a standard 4K monitor. This behaviour is highly inconsistent - especially if one takes into consideration that, in addition to the icons used in some parts of the interface, fonts, title bar buttons and window frames, too, can be set to use an appropriate size. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use a high-resolution monitor (e.g. 4K) 2. Set global scale to 100% 3. Attempt to resize icons by using the 'Configure icon sizes' menu. OBSERVED RESULT Inconsistent results: the size of icons used in some parts of the interface can be changed, while icons used in other parts of the interface cannot. EXPECTED RESULT The size of icons in all parts of the interface can be changed.
