If you change the taskbar size makes difference ? Can you show a screenshot ?

fabrixx commented 4 years ago

It is a particular 15 inch 4k monitor, I can put the screenshot later. This is the taskbar of gnome 3.36. If I enlarge the half number character it remains beyond the upper margin and even changing the color it mixes with the icon graphics. Now i'm with 4k 24 inch. I have seen, however, that only the number can be displayed. In this monitor the icon is always too small but if I enlarge it, the number is only slightly cut on the round of the degrees. b a

Did you try to adjust the T° font size from the meteo-qt settings?

An option to toggle icon and T° every a defined interval (seconds) would help ? To avoid to have the icon and the T° together.

I have added an option to toggle the tray icon and temperature (or Feels Like T°), may be is convenient for your screen too: https://github.com/dglent/meteo-qt/commit/99d0bcc178af411a8fd4db5abcec3abbd7c8f34b

Ok this time I didn't use Arch's meteo-qt-git package but I installed directly from the sources.

The alternation function is interesting but the icon is really too small on my 4K monitor.

Increasing the font size the first digit is cut to the left so I can't zoom in much. If I set it to 21 I get a good compromise, then I copied the gray color of the bar.

Thanks for the work you do.

I see It cannot be bigger as it reaches the maximum dimensions of an icon. Only the widgets can be bigger. I don't know what Desktop you use, maybe you have an option to set the icons size of the taskbar In LXQt fort example you have this option.

Font dialog to set the font of the T° in the system tray https://github.com/dglent/meteo-qt/commit/5d528e2f40c1ad5550b405a81a0d309a9f84b90e
