It's about 12-15% on this laptop and maybe 20-22% on the netbook.
The settings for the Panel is in plasma-appletsrc, attached is
example
of the Panel Tray :
[Containments][3][Applets][8]
geometry=844,3,112,32
I would think that the geometry line is what's defining the size. My laptop
has 951,2,178,34 and the netbook has 716,6,216,33. What strikes me is that
third parameter. I'd try backing up the plasma-appletsrc, killing plasma then
editing that parameter to a larger number. If it doesn't work as required you
can simply replace the old file.
immutability=1
To me, that line suggests that it is locked. I don't know whether 'unlock
widgets' affects the tray or not. Have you tried that? OTOH, both my systems
have it set to 1, so it's probably correct.
plugin=systemtray
zvalue=0
I'm casting around in the dark - sheer guesswork - but as long as you make
backups first you should be able to recover if you hit a problem.
