This avoids old problems, but on the other hand of course means you get unbalanced margins; the lines eat into the button. With fully-filled icons that don't have padding, that means the line can be very close to the icon. Hmm. But I trust the VDG did the math on the pro/con here.

It feels like the icon and text are hanging from the top line like a sign from a ceiling, with a lot of empty space below it. If the text label is additionally a short one, it feels like someone took the content and dragged it up-left. It just feels unharmonious and unfinished somehow. I like the appearance otherwise (I always liked the line idea, and I like the filled backgorunds in the new version), but I worry this is another case of us going with something that somehow feels half-done.

I will work on the improvements as long as needed. When i get the two ship it before saterday it will released with 5.26 and with plasma 5.8. If the ship it get later no problem.

Eike I understand what you mean. on top panel it work really really well, but on bottom panel the margins didn't fit well. So for top panel I would leave it as it is but for bottom panel I have to think about a better solution.
