Virtual Desktops - Icon Width on Taskbar

Greetings Gurus.
I run 2 "Aquarius" computers. Each using 4 multiple desktops. Unfortunately, in the task bar, the icon for each desktop takes up around 3cm or 1.5" of space, which leads to severe crowding once a few applications are opened.
On my "Mint" computer, deep in the bowels of the Virtual Desk top settings, I found a setting that enabled me to shrink the desktop icons down to the size of a normal task bar icon.
Does such a setting exist in Aquarius ? If so, where does it hide ?

T.I.A

Where did you install it from ? Aquarius uses Cinnamon 5.6.8 version.

Oops, wrong computer. That was my Mint machine
The correct desktop is KDE Plasma V 5.27.5
The installation took place about a month ago from a fresh download and has been fully updated

If this is KDE you can right click on the taskbar and go to configure icons-only task manager and adjust the icon spacing.
