smaller, icon will fit to closest smaller size.

Changing "iconSize" property is a valid way to change System Tray icon size -
it simply does not have an User Interface (yet). It should work the same in
Kubuntu 20.04, I'm using larger icons as well and it still work in Plasma 5.19
beta.

Increase System Tray Icon Size in KDE:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/568793/

In Kubuntu 19.10, the work-around above works great for increasing the icon
size in the KDE System Tray widget.

However, please read the comments made under the question linked above. I'm
told that this work-around no longer work starting in Kubuntu 20.04.

Ideally, you should be able to configure the icon-size of system-tray icons
using the System-Tray's configuration GUI and not by editing some file.

Considering that these file-editing work-arounds are beginning to not work, I
really love to see gui-level-support (for modifying system-tray-icon-size) in
Kubuntu 20.04, but I'm worried its too late (Kubuntu 20.04 will be released
next month).

Manual workaround for now:

Add `iconSize=2` to ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc in the
section that has `extraItems=` in it

I'll look into fixing this properly for Plasma 5.19.

The small icons in the panel were an oddity for me to on my Lenovo X-1 Yoga. I
thought I would at least mention an oddity when applying the work-around from
above (setting IconSize to 2) -- once that is done, if I resize my panel, the
task bar icons do change in size, while before they stayed fixed. Is the
default behaviour of them staying put a bug?

I fell under the same spell with 5.8, and didn't find a solution with
askubuntu.

I have to say that it is most frustrating to read that the ui-people feel that
it is their task and not the users' prerogative to change the icon sizes.
(https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289=131736#p359606)

Also, I can't agree with comment#6: 
I have modified the file as indicated in comment#14, to '2', and now it looks
pretty much better here. Most of all, however, when I drag the vertical panel
to a larger width, automatically the icons get sorted in two - or more -
columns. 

Also, I can't see how and where and when - during installation - the size of
tray icons could or should be modified, since the '1' in
.../contents/config/main.xml seems to be part of the files under '/usr/.
Therefore, I assume that this '1' is a fixed value, possibly irrespective of
HiDPI. And not 'variable' as indicated in the comment in that file.

And then this behaviour would contradict the essence of Plasma 5: better adjust
to the varieties of screen sizes and formats. Rather, it should scale to a
certain percentage of physical screen width. 
I can't install KDE it into my Huawei 8" 1920 pixel tablet; though I wonder how
tiny it would look there.

My suggestion is a configuration of icon size (user override of the parameter
mentioned) through the (existing) context menu of the systray.

Your approach does work for me, but the file seems to be over-written with
every Plasma release. Instead, I found a solution (similarly described twice)
that I was able to follow:

Not only HiDPI users! I'm on a 1920x1080 15" screen, which nowadays is very
common. Still, icon tray sizes are way too small, and it has been so for a
whole year!

How is this possible? Why is noone fixing this extremely annoying bug? Everyone
using Plasma on a moderately modern high-end laptop will be affected by this
bug and likely believe that not much care is put into Plasma, if bugs like this
go unnoticed.

Well, seeing as though the Plasma/KDE devs don't want to help out their HiDPI
users and fix this issue (There has been one major release and multiple point
releases since the creation of this bug) they have one less user and one less
person that would recommend KDE to a friend.

I know that spiel isn't really relevant to fixing the bug, but maybe at least

I don't think this problem affects icon sizes. Also I used the code from
devicePixelRatio() to find the value 1.47674.

Good point, but even if you fix that, I think that devicePixelRatio() will
still return 1 because of: 
  qunsetenv("QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO");
  QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_DisableHighDpiScaling)

Could the problem be the method used to scale the icon size on hidpi monitors?
Looking in  plasma-framework/src/declarativeimports/core/units.cpp:
// Scale the icon sizes up using the devicePixelRatio
// This function returns the next stepping icon size
// and multiplies the global settings with the dpi ratio.
const qreal ratio = devicePixelRatio();

if (ratio < 1.5) {
return size;
} else if (ratio < 2.0) {
return size * 1.5;
} else if (ratio < 2.5) {
return size * 2.0;
} else if (ratio < 3.0) {
return size * 2.5;
} else if (ratio < 3.5) {
return size * 3.0;
} else {
return size * ratio;
}
My ratio is 1.47674, that means I have no scaling at all when there is a 1.5
factor existing. Is it reasonable? Wouldn't it make more sense to use the
factor the closest to the ratio rather than  what is done here?

I disagree with this, looking at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353834
the issue is specifically with two rows of systray icons where the icons almost
overlap, the bug report title even says "(ok if single row)". No one is
clamoring for one row of very small icons.

Or, you know, make use of the thing KDE is renowned for: configuration options.

Reality is that screen sizes are increasing, not decreasing, and downscaled
icon looks better than upscaled. If plasma wants to be future-proof then you
kind of have to have icons in bigger size available.

I guess that any variant will rub some people wrong. We simply can't account
for all tastes and any change will make one group or another angry. The
question is: which group do we want to piss off, or do we accept the problems
that come with such a configuration UI. 
Also if Guillame is correct above, that HiDPI screens make the icons stick to
16x16, that's the main issue since that would make them close to unusable. 

One solution would be to create a third size of 32x32 icons and simply skip to
that size when the panel is resized to something that could accomade them. But
that means recreating the icon theme (so its pixel aligned) and that will take
a while (IIRC only a few of the panel icons exists in 32x32)

I suspect this bug is worse on hidpi screen because plasmashell does not
respect hidpi settings (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356446) so 16x16
is really 16x16 and is not scaled up as the comment in
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/config/main.xml
indicates.

How did this bug slip into an LTS release? It should be fixed immediately. If I
booted up to a fresh install with this bug (rather than having updated to it
and not wanting to move all of my data) I would straight away install a
different DE or distro.

Alright, I got it, let me know if there's a less terrible way of doing this:
- Edit
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/config/main.xml
- Under "" you'll see:
  1
- Replace 1 by 2 or something bigger, for me 2 was exactly right.

Is there any way at all to work around this, even including recompiling stuff
to hardcode a bigger size somewhere? On a 4K 15' screen I can barely see the
systray icons.

I find this to be a problem too. I always make the panel higher, so that icons
are easy to distinguish at a glance on big screens. With this change, it feels
like we're back to the bad old xembed days of icons not scaling at all...

How about a panel option of how many rows the icons should be put into? This is
both for system tray icons and taskbar buttons.

With the latest state I have of plasma-workspace (cad0705)  at least now the
icons are in a straight line, although smaller than the previous version. Makes
things at least easier than before.

This maybe an issue VDG could be involved with.

I'm not sure what you mean by "too big for some", but systray icons did indeed
look bigger than the clock font next to them (since both got the same height,
but fonts have some padding b/c of unused accent space above and below). Having
that aligned would be a win.

But now it's not following the height of the panel at all. Fixed height systray
icons mean they will look wrong on every resized taskbar panel - proportionally
with how much it is resized.

Bringing back the proportionate design with make it much more usable for many
of us, making it aligned with the text-based plasmoids on the panel would just
make it look awesome.

Can a middle ground be at least tested? Currently, *any* resolution >  1366 x
768 in my tests (which is the one I have in my X220) makes icons unbearably
tiny and even painful to look at.

At least, where is this set in the code? If all else fails, I'll patch it for
myself...
