> - Is it or when will it be possible to configure the size of icons and fonts in the taskbar, the menu and on the desktop again?

You can change the font used in the taskbar in systemsettings | Appearance | Fonts | Taskbar

> - is possible to disable that ugly frame which surrounds all icons and wigdets as soon as you approach them?

Just lock the desktop via the RMB menu, they are only there when the desktop is unlocked.

systemsettings | Appearance | Fonts | Taskbar

is this logical?
wouldn't you search for "taskbar" first, then for the font setting of the taskbar?

also nice to have would be: you could right-click on the taskbar and choose to open the relevant systemsettings dialog.

Just an idea.

Actually, I would look for font settings exactly where I put it.

There has been a design decision sometime, somewhere that we should try to not provide twenty different ways of setting something up because that leads to clutter in the UI and is actually harder to find in the end.

To me, the System Settings way we chose for is pretty clear and also scales well.

Hmm, doesn't work overhere.
Changed the font for the task bar to '4' (it was 11), logged out and in to get it activated, and while the buttons in the taskbar are now unreadable small, the clock digits are still larger than the panel

I also noticed something new: the lower part of the panel apeares to be drawn on the top of the screen. I noticed some glitches over there, and when i clicked the glitch in the top richt corner, k-menu opened..

Pretty odd :o)

The date field respects the Small setting, the clock itself will take the rest of the space. Can you please be more specific, i.e. supplying the following information in a bugreport:

- Taskbar, Small font settings (face, size)
- Panel size
- screenshot showing the problem

Thanks.

I think that both http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157537 and http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158762 seem to be this issue. The latter seems to suggest it's fixed in trunk.
