[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!

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...

[SOLVED] KDE won't remember window size or position

Everytime I start dolphin its a small window, or if I open anything with kate the window is only 5 lines long. How can I have kde always remember the window sizes it was previously at?

you can specify your preferences in systemsettings->window behaviour->window rules. Just add a new entry for the application you want to start in a specific size, position, etc.
There are tons of options there, have fun.
edit.: forgot to say that you can also specify a rule for more than one application.
Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.

[SOLVED] Very slow application launch in KDE

Hi, some days ago a nasty makefile tried to delete my / directory while I was trying to compile a program. While it didin't touch anything in my system folders, it made a big mess on my home. I recovered almost everything, but since then KDE is behaving strangely. In particular, launching an application with lancelot or with the standard KDE launcher has become painfully slow. All the KDE applications are affected, but the issue is particularly annoying with firefox. Launching it from the command line, however, resolves everything. Chromium is launched quickly in any case.
I deleted .mozilla and .kde4, but the problem is still there. I have no idea to what look at to try to understand what's going on, so I would appreciate some help...
Thanks.

Oh, you don't have to rebuild everything. Backup your configuration also, then put it back one by one and see what has gone wrong. (All those hidden files started with a dot ".").
I did mean those files are also important data, who would want to lose all the configuration that took so long to do
Shouldn't take too long to figure it out. If it's my configuration, I think I can find out what wrong in less than 15 minutes.
Good luck if you choose to do so.

[solved] KDE 4.2 Persistent Icons: How to remove permanently?

I'm having problems in 4.2 with getting rid of icons on the desktop and the taskbar. These are both from my previous 4.1 installation and also some I have deleted from 4.2 itself.
The desktop icons are/were links to applications created in the desktop folder and then dragged across onto the desktop itself. If I delete these, then next time I log on they appear as "type unknown" icons (white background with some binary numbers). I can get rid of these by deleting some config files in .kde4/share/config as detailed in post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64166. This also removes other changes I've made to the desktop such as wallpaper. Anybody got an alternative way of sorting this?
The taskbar redundant icons are a little more persistent, and I haven't found a way yet of removing these permanently. Any offers please?

Some people have reported this at bugs.kde.org: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183635.
This are probably special cases as there were only two or three reports + yours
I'm not really sure how to help in this case. Sorry.

How to create a kde panel system tray icon set?

hi, i would like to perform a modification of oxygen style to obtain a system tray composed by icons only in grayscale or b/n tones.
i tried editing the klipper icon, by desaturating all klipper.png in the various oxygen directories, and it works fine.
but in this manner all the klipper's icons used by kde are in grayscale.
now, if i change kmix icons state, also amarok's and other icons would change?
is there any method to avoid this conflict?
bye

If you don't know how to program this in, you're probably out of luck. Would be interested in someone else proving me wrong though.
hi, i can't program the system tray it would be nice if there were someone that made a patch or something else. however i decolorize some icons (kmix, klipper and kmess) in a first try and this is the (not bad) result:
http://i.imagehost.org/0045/snapshot16.png
the thing is, kde HAS options for coloring icons in different places. Problem is that KDE does not use those - at least i never managed to make it work. It only worked if i set the colors globally
i tried to use this tool: only Desktop Effects works, but it changes both desktop and panel icons....but not system tray icons!!!
wow

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

Xfce application menu plugin icon size

I'm trying to figure out how to make the application menu icon size larger than the window button icon sizes with the Greybird theme, just like it is for Greybird Classic in the picture.
I have tried the "panel-applications-menu" string in both my .gtkrc-2.0 file and in xsettings but it is either not being respected or I'm not using it correctly. What specifically controls the icon size for the applications menu icon size?

Replace blue launch icon in kde 4.1[SOLVED]

I'm not a fan of blue - does anyone know where the icon resides for the start button in kde4? I've tried under the oxygen icons to replace the kde.png, but that didn't work. It must be lurking somewhere else?
thanks.

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] 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?
Last edited by sultanoswing (2015-04-12 06:28:05)

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.

Icon size in Application folder

WHen viewing the application folder from the Dock, the icons have now been enlarged and I have to scroll through the application folder to find apps, how can I reduce the icon size within the Application folder? when viewed from the Dock?
Thanks
John

Actually, you don't even have go to the View menu for the slider. It should be at the lower right of your Finder window in Icon View. AFA the alias in your Dock, poof it and create a new one by dragging your
apps folder to the Dock. Don't do it from the Sidebar, do it from Computer/Macintosh HD/Applications.
Let us know.

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.

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..
There is also the drawer applet, which can contain the icons...
