Hmm. If you never recall seeing the task icons filling the task bar fully, and since TDE started with Debian modified KDE sources rather than the original upstream virgin KDE sources, which Slackware always used....
Yeah, modified sources. If that is the case then makes sense neither of us has seen the behavior of the other's desktop.
Where in the TDE sources would the rendering of taskbar task icons be? I'll investigate if I know where to go. :)
Looks like this might be the difference (kdebase/kicker/taskbar/taskcontainer.cpp):
// draw button background if (drawButton) { if (KickerSettings::showDeepButtons()) { tqstyle().tqdrawPrimitive(TQStyle::PE_ButtonBevel, p, TQRect(1, 1, width()-3, height()-2), colors, sunken ? TQStyle::Style_On : TQStyle::Style_Raised); } else { tqstyle().tqdrawPrimitive(TQStyle::PE_ButtonTool, p, TQRect(1, 1, width()-2, height()-2), colors, sunken ? TQStyle::Style_Down : TQStyle::Style_Raised);
The two pixels being subtracted, one top and bottom is the difference I see. Now that I see this, I also realize there is space between the taskbar icons (buttons).
BTW, what are deep buttons? I see no difference when enabled or disabled.
