            Bug ID: 442921
           Summary: Icons in task manager shrink too much, too abruptly
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If I configure the icons-only task manager to have at most 1 row of icons, when
it comes the time to shrink icons to fir more of them, it shrinks them way more
than is necessary and in very big steps. I'd estimate at one point it shrinks
them to roughly 1/6 of the size after adding 1 more icon, which is very
unappealing and makes them hard to click and to visualize. Would be better if
the icons were shrunk progressively like latte dock does, instead of
immediately switching from big to microscopic.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the icons-only task manager to have at most 1 row of icons.
2. Start adding widgets to the panel until the right half is not available for
the task manager icons.
3. Start launching applications until the task manager is full and it becomes
necessary to shrink icons.

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons shrink too much and too abruptly.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons should shrink by the smallest amount that still makes them fit.
