I will work on this but without this the theme is not that broken as you show in the screenshot when you use everything from oxygen (plasma theme, icons, window decoration, ...) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1642456/VDG/KF5/OxygenDesktop.png

I remember a single one, I don't think there were that many more. Which either means that nobody uses old themes or that all good themes were updated to Plasma 5 already (or that Breeze is just perfect).

Breeze just happens to have tiny margins but it's just a peculiarity of that theme. that should be restored.

You mean the buttons? I'm not sure, look at this:

http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/5ed39d1d

It's from plasma4 compared to plasma5 (hidpi), notice how the controls have a solid 2px bottom frame while plasma4 has only a single pixel frame. It kind of looks like the theme in plasma5 is missing some opacity which would fade the bottom edge away or something.


> fix the panel "decrease margins until icons are big enough" behavior that was implemented but broken

Careful, it was broken with the new Breeze theme (the one for 5.5/5.17), then Eike fixed it. We need to ensure that doesn't break again.
