Gnome panel launcher icon size

Is there a way to make GNOME panel launcher icons smaller? (like in XFCE panels...)
Or, is there any other type of launcher that can be used?

If you downsize the panel, the icons will be downsized too..
There is also the drawer applet, which can contain the icons...

Stop gnome panel launcher icons from scaling when resizing the panel

hi guys!
ive been trying to customize my gnome de and cant find the answer to this. i want to have a thick panel say around 36px with a large main menu icon and 22x22 launcher icons. i tried checking gconf-editor and dont see any option to set this. when i resize the panel to 36 px, the launcher icons follow the size of the panel. i want them to stay at 22x22 even when the panel is resized to 36 px.
below is a screenshot of what im talking about.
please let me know what you think! many thanks!
josh

hey droog!
thanks for your reply! tried that and it didnt work. i tried this:
gtk-icon-sizes = "panel=16,16:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:gtk-button=16,16"
it did change the icons in the menu bar. and the icons in the notification area. but it did not change the custom launcher icons...
do you know if they have a howto for this?

[SOLVED] KDE Panel - Application Launcher Icon Size

With the standard KDE panel, when I add an application launcher widget (it doesn't matter which one) the icon size of the launcher is too small. Increasing the size of the panel makes the icon get bigger to a point, but then it shrinks again. Is there a config file that I can override the icon size? I don't see one in ~/.kde4/share/config, is that the right place to look?

That was it! The "Panel" setting only changed the launcher icon. I guess I assumed that it would change all of the icon sizes, but so far it looks good. Thanks!

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.16: icon size not remembered

Every time I open a new "Files" instance from the Activities screen, the icon sizes default to "Medium", despite setting them to "Small" using Nautilus' setting slider.
Is there anyway to set the icon size globally to "Small" which sticks across new instances of Nautilus/Files being launched?

When Nautilus is open, click on the top panel where it says "Files", then Preferences, and set the defaults.
I think it's another "by design" decision by the GNOME devs, just like the stupidly big "small" icons.

Gnome: changing application icon size

Before gnome 3.10,according to wiki, to change app icon size it was necessary to edit "/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css".
From upgrading to 3.10 and now with 3.12,it seems it doesn't work anymore and so I have to keep large icons on my shell.
has anyone experienced the same issue?

If you downsize the panel, the icons will be downsized too..

Gnome Topicons changing icon size

Hello,
I am using the extension topicons to display tray icons in the top panel.
Yet the size of the icons is too big for my taste. Can they be reduced?

They could. It would be pretty simple if the extension made use of a CSS stylesheet as most gnome shell extensions do, but I'm seeing it doesn't have any. I just installed it for testing purposes, but did not even work.
Ask developer to implement a CSS: leave a comment on the site you just provided or look for developer's email, which should be written down in the metadata.json file inside the extension folder. You should be able to find that under ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions if you installed via website. Or ultimately, make your own stylesheet.css if you know the code internals (I really don't), and append it to the extension folder. It should not be very difficult since the main program (extension.js) is very short as it is now. Maybe someone else could help you write the css in less than a couple minutes.

Keyboard layout indicator in gnome panel, red icon instead of letters

See the image, red round icon is the keyboard notification, but it shoud be ( or was ) letters.
Any idea how to change the icon back to letters? I have 2 layouts, changing gtk theme or icon theme doesn't help.
Thanks.

edit: for the capslock-issue, go to the region panel in gnome-control-center, switch to the layout-tab and click options. There should be a list with the appropriate preferences. It defaults to shift+capslock by the way, which works fine here.

Launcher Icon Size

Hello All,
Is there a way to reduce the size of the icons in the Launcher display ? Before I did a "Restore" and installed OS 9.2.2. I had "miniature" icons in the Launcher display but now the icons are too large - take up a lot of room. I've tried going through the "View" option in the "Preferences" but there is nothing that relates to the Launcher.
Thanks for any Help !
Jack

Yo Don !
Your right ! Works like champ ! Now, tell me where in **** is any reference to this in Help ?
Anyway, I have learned something new in my 24 years of Apple computers !
Thanks Again,
Jack

Icon size in Favorites panel changeable?

I'm using CS2 Bridge (1.0.4.6), a couple of steps out of date, and trying to make use of the Favorites panel. I understand how to get things into it (I'm dragging pictures to it) and out of it (only one item at a time, ASFAIK). The icon that goes with the file name is so small as to be pretty much unusable, and I'm left with a lot of file names like _DSCxxxx.jpg which is useless. Is there any way to change the icon size in this panel?
Click once opens the file immediately in PS, option click does nothing, ctl-click gives the remove/reveal choice.
Are newer versions of Bridge better in this regard?
Ben

Ben,
>(I'm dragging pictures to it)
I had missed that earlier. The icons I was referring to in my previous post:
>The size of the icons on that panel on my machine are
very
large
are
folder
icons, not
image file icons. I now see that you would like to have larger thumbnails of your image files on your Favorites panel.
I have never, ever put anything other than folders there, and it never occurred to me that anyone else would. Obviously, I was wrong.
Obviously this clarification doesn't help at all with your problem, but I wanted to apologize in case I misled you win my earlier post.

I dug up an old applet I had written for Cinnamon (based on another applet by Tjaart van der Walt), and upgraded it to work with Gnome 3.12
For some reason, I am not able to submit it to the AUR.

Hi,
Try these 3 solutions
1. Did you start vncserver services as:
service vncserver start
2.Check that port 5901 has not been blocked by a firewall:
# nc -vz localhost 5901
You should get a connection and a termination. If you get an error, fix the firewall.
3. service iptables stop
Hope This Helps

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

[SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I upgraded earlier to Gnome 3.10. Although I've had a lot of problems.. I'm working on them one at a time.
Most of the default icons are not showing anymore. My Nautilus looks like this:
Some of the applications icons do still exist.
If I create a new user and log in, the icons are all fine. But I cannot figure out how to bring back icons on my own user account.
I tried running the command on http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/ho … e-defaults, which set my favourites and wallpaper back to default. Icons still aren't fixed.
I tried running gtk-update-icon-cache on my icons folder. Tried running xdg-user-dirs-update. Tried sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq gnome-icon-theme). Tried running /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and tried reinstalling librsvg. None of these have helped.
Thanks.

Not solved for me I'm afraid. I'm running Openbox + Tint2 setup, with quite a few Gnome applications. I use the Oxygen icon theme.
Since the upgrade to the Gnome 3.10 packages, my GTK3 applications have missing icons which only reappear if I choose the GNOME icon theme using lxappearance, which modifies ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Here's my normal settings.ini:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix
gtk-icon-theme-name=oxygen
gtk-font-name=Arimo 9
gtk-cursor-theme-name=aero-drop
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
When 'gtk-icon-theme-name=gnome' is used instead, the icons display in GTK3 applications.
Any ideas please how I can get the Oxygen theme to play nicely with Gnome 3.10 applications?
