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

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*.
My desire is to have -
- larger font size,
- padding around each line,
- text without cropping. For example, in the Image it says
Downloads - Dolph...
, instead it should sayDownloads - 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.

Apparently user26687 ( askubuntu.com/users/26687/user26687 ) seems to have 270 tags. He will probably not notice this question if I do not somehow contact him directly. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to do so.
