Both files come with this package, but should +be adopted to your needs. + +The KDE panel windows must have a size of 45x45 pixels. We get this size by +using a size of 6x5 characters, each character has 6x8 pixels. By using +a horizontal gap of 1 pixel between characters, we get a size of + +horizontal: 6 chars * 6 pixels + 5 gaps = 41 pixels +vertical: 5 chars * 8 pixels = 40 pixels + +With a border size of 2 pixels this gives a size of 45 x 44 pixels.
