Re: panel resize?
by whatever noticed on Thursday 06/Mar/2008, @05:25
Where can we find that 'smallest readable font' in the systemsettings"

I couldn't find it, and over here, the clock also doesn't scale with the panel size (the font size stays the same, causing the panel to only show the upper part of the digits). Also, the icons for k-menu, show desktop, konqueror and filemanager to the left of the panel don't scale. They now show the upper 3/4 of the icon on the panel.

What i also noticed is that my Dutch desktop contains a lot of English text, which is odd considering that the statistic page of the translations gives the Dutch team a gold medal for their 100% translation of kde 4.0

Lat but not least: the icons on my desktop are doubled (which is an improvement, as they were tripled on my 4.01 desktop)..

Look for the "Small" setting in System Settings | Appearance | Fonts.

Please supply more information of your things in Plasma, as I wrote in the other post, the following is interesting:

- Font sizes (Taskbar, Small)
- Panel Size
- Screenshots

Easiest to address and track it is a bugreport, the Dot is a very poor tool for that kind of thing.

Thanks.

    I'm not the original poster, but I can comment on this as well. If a bug report has been opened on this, give me the ID and I'll add these there -- I couldn't find one that applied to the KDE4 issue.

    Background:
    Kubuntu 8.04 with the latest (May-6) updates applied. (kde4-4.0.3 I believe)

    When I right-click on the panel (kicker?) and choose the size to be "Tiny" there are two quickly noticeable effects (aside from the desired thin panel):
    1: The default "Digital Clock" on the right side is too big and only the upper half of the time is displayed. A work-around is to enable the "Show date" on the clock which just shrinks the time font a bit and moves it higher. (But you can't actually see the date so it's not a fix.)
    2: When I click on the "K" menu, it isn't right above the panel, rather it is shoved to the top of the screen.

    I'll attach a screen shot with annotations showing these errors.

Checked this, and i noticed that a lot of languages have been commented out in the kde4 .desktop files that opensuse ships.
Dunno if this is a suse issue or a kde issue.

I'll check this out...
