Kubuntu - Edit width and padding of Icon-Only Task Manager Widget

I am using Kubuntu (18.10... however, it is almost same as 18.04). I want to edit width and padding of Icon-Only Task Manager Widget*.



enter image description here



My desire is to have -




  1. larger font size,

  2. padding around each line,

  3. text without cropping. For example, in the Image it says Downloads - Dolph..., instead it should say Downloads - Dolphine


Upon research, I found the code is located in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icontasks/



It does not have /contents directory. However, it points to /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/ using X-Plasma-RootPath=org.kde.plasma.taskmanager which has /contents/ui/ directory. And also contents/ui/code/layout.js and contents/ui/code/tools.js files.



I want to mention, I did not find any documentation which suggests X-Plasma-RootPath points to the codebase. I am just assuming it out of desperation.



Now, what changes do I need to make to apply padding around each line, increase the fonts and show full line without cropping.



Please do not direct me any tutorial site. I am not proficient in C++. I sometimes can find stuff but can not change stuff. I will appreciate a step-by-step guide.



What I actually need



I think there is a width and height attribute somewhere in the code, if I change it, it will work as I intend it to. I would like to know - where to make the change and how.



* This is a followup question to Kubuntu 18.10 - How to make Window List larger on Task Manager (Panel). Please check it if you need more context to this question.
