SUMMARY, Observed result and Expected result
Since Plasma 6, IOTM scales almost perfectly with the Panel size.
However this causes some issues and inconsistencies and has a limiting factor.
1- The icons are too big for the Panel size, unless you use small Panel size,
which is small enough so that it's less enjoyable for UX perspective. At a
certain smaller size, the icons shrink more relative to the Panel size, which
frees up space inside the Panel, but that size is too small. When you increase
size from that point, icons increase more than Panel to take all the space and
from there they scale 1-1 relative to Panel size. On one machine, for example,
in Plasma 5 I was using 100px for a Panel, but on Plasma 6 I need to reduce to
66 in order to free up space around the icons. Obviously those got smaller too!
This limits the use of custom Themes because it removes a lot of space around
the icons.
I could not find a way to change IOTM size relative to Panel size.
2- When moving the Panel to the either side (compared to bottom or top), they
take even more space on either side of the icons, which again limits even more
than issue #1 because almost anything you try to draw on the sides of the icons
is drawn under the face of the icons.
No matter where the Panel is located, icons should have the same amount of
space all around to keep consistency.
That amount of space should be sufficient to allow drawing indicators around
the icons, like SVG elements "focus-bottom, focus-right, focus-left,
focus-top", etc..
Screen resolution does not seem to affect this, the same behaviors are
observed.
Plasma Style (Breeze or other ported to Plasma 6) does not seem to affect this
either, the same behaviors are observed.
