           Summary: Blurry Icons in Panel Taskbar
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: cduquette gmail com


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

If you hover over the tooltip and compare that icon to the panel's icon you'll see it's blurrier than the tooltip. This is because the panel is being displayed at 47px instead of 48px.

Proposed fix:
If one removes the -1 from line 90 of
workspace/plasma/containments/panel/panel.cpp
(height += topHeight - 1;) you get nice sharp icons. The only problem
is the panel is drawn 1 pixel up.

This can be resolved by changing the +1 to +2 in
kdebase/workspace/plasma/plasma/panelview.cpp
(geom.moveTopLeft(QPoint(screenGeom.left(), screenGeom.bottom() -
size.height() + 1));)

The panel appears to render correctly now with these changes, but I'm
not sure if they're proper changes. Does anyone see anything wrong
with committing a fix like this? We'll also need to update the code
for when the panel is on top or the sides.
