Hello everyone :)
After seeing Q4OS with its big icons in Kicker's taskbar I've been searching
far and wide but haven't been able to figure out how to achieve this using
plain TDE on Debian. I managed to make the buttons themselves bigger by
adjusting '~/.trinity/share/config/ktaskbarrc' with:
[General]
MinimumButtonHeight=38
However, icons on the taskbar buttons stay small (16 px). Can somebody
enlighten me which setting Q4OS is using here to enlarge the icons on the
taskbar buttons? Or are they using a patched version of Kicker that is not
available on Debian?
Best regards,
Leskala

Set size there.

This is already set to 48. For me this only affects the TDE Menu (formerly K
Menu) icon and launcher icon sizes. The icons on the taskbar displaying the
window buttons stay at 16.

Hello, Leskala,
Judging from the taskbar code, 16x16 is hard-coded there (a bad idea IMO). If it were not,
you could change the icon size using the "Small Icon" option in the Icons
sections of TDE Control Centre (probably a bad idea too).
You should consider opening a bug here:

Not sure what menu Q4OS is using,m but in TDE there are the "standard" menu and
the "kickoff" menu. In addition to that
you can install TastyMenu or Kbfx, which provides other alternative menus too.
Before you dwelve into icon size, you should first figure out which menu Q4OS is using.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood. So you mean the width of the taskbar buttons showing the
various windows?
In such case there isn't a direct width settings AFAICT. You can choose to display
only icons, only text or icons+text,
which in turns will affect the button width, but there isn't a way to specify a min or
max width for the buttons.
Is that what you were looking for?

No, I wasn't referring to the width of the taskbar buttons either but to the
size of icons on them. Usually, TDE will display two rows of buttons with
small icons. If i set "MinimumButtonHeight=38" in the ktaskbarrc file, the
buttons themselves get larger and are reduced to one row but the icons stay
small. On the Q4OS version of TDE if you enlarge the buttons this way, the
icons will scale as well.
I attached an image showing comparison screenshots of the taskbar between
Q4OS' TDE and my TDE on Debian.
(in Q4OS they also do some other stuff like specifying a custom widgetStyle=
option just for the taskbar applet to get those neat bezels around the
buttons but I haven't been able to find the trick they use for the icon size)

Interesting, the bezels around the buttons definitely look nice, maybe something that
could be added in future as a
config option. Same goes for button min/max size and icons in them.
Would be good if you log an issue in TGW, otherwise this is likely to get lost over time.
