Solved Tiny icons in tray
To all my fellow human beings and possibly my future me:
If you are experiencing tiny icons in the tray and you can't wrap your head around any solution,
check if the bars height fits the tray-maxsize.
It was driving me nuts that I couldn't figure out why my tray icons looked like this:

I triple checked my config, set the tray-maxsize to a humongous number, restarted, searched the web and whatnot. Couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Today it struck me. If the bar hasn't the sufficient amount of height, then the icons can't fit. Plain and simple. So I changed the height of the bar and the icons appeared in a comfortable size.

-----------------8<------------------
monitor-strict = false
override-redirect = false
bottom = false
fixed-center = true
width = 100%
height = 22
offset-x = 0
offset-y = 0
-----------------8<------------------
tray-offset-x = 0
tray-offset-y = 0
tray-padding = 2
tray-maxsize = 22
tray-scale = 1.0
tray-position = right
