I have been updating a laptop from kde-testing and everything has been going well.
So, today I decided to also update from kde-testing on a desktop system with dual monitors. Everything is working but the icons for Bluetooth, NetworkManager, firewalld-applet, etc in the systray are now at least half the size they once were. The clock appears OK.
How does one adjust the size of those icons?
I tried making changes in "System Settings--->Appearance--->Icons--->Advanced" with no effect.

I didn't know you could adjust the size of the systray icons. FWIW however, I did the upgrade today also and didn't notice any change at all in the icon sizes. They appear the same to me. systray.png https://drive.google.com/a/bzb.us/file/d/0B96ctNl5KI2aMTBRcFFZa0o3cDA/view?usp=drive_web

Hummmm... they look about the same size to me. The difference appears to be the height of your panel. Try adjust it up and down. You'll notice that when you reach a certain height, the kicker icon will resize. If you are in between levels, you'll notice more whitespace. You also might consider putting the systray icons in multiple rows. I have my height set to just where it clicks into multiple rows... IMO that gives the best look and minimizes empty whitespace.

Adjusting the height was the first thing I tried. They remain small when I increase the height of the panel.
The images I posted don't quite do the situation justice. The laptop is a 1280x800 display while my desktop is 2560x1440.
Previously the icons were about twice the size as they are now and were almost the height of the panel. Wish I had, or could find a snapshot I took of my desktop a while ago.
