Want to change icon spacing in thunar.

cdahmedeh · 2009-10-16 02:20:58

Hello,

I really like thunar because it is simple and fast. However, I find that the icons in Compact View have too much spacing in between, even when I have set to minimum icon size.

Thanks

This is the first result returned by Google by searching: thunar icon spacing

I have already tried what was suggested on the website. However, I was only able to change the spacing in icon view and not compact view. The documentation isn't very clear about it. Would anyone mind proving clearer instructions on changing the spacing between icons in compact view.

Thanks

By adding the ThunarCompactView class ?

style "thunar-icon-view-reduced-style"
{
  ThunarIconView::column-spacing = 3
  ThunarIconView::row-spacing = 3
}
class "ThunarIconView" style "thunar-icon-view-reduced-style"
class "ThunarCompactView" style "thunar-icon-view-reduced-style"

This did not work. I also tried using

style "thunar-icon-view-reduced-style"
{
  ThunarCompactView::column-spacing = 1
  ThunarCompactView::row-spacing = 1
}
class "ThunarIconView" style "thunar-icon-view-reduced-style"
class "ThunarCompactView" style "thunar-icon-view-reduced-style"

It should work and I don't know why it doesn't. Maybe someone else will be able to help you more then me.

Sorry!

It turns out that it does, it's just that the default spacing is already 0, which is too much space for me. Are there any alternatives to Thunar ? Lightweight, quick, fully featured and GTK support. I already tried PCManFM but it doesn't have support for the MIME types. I thinks that everything is a text file.

Thanks

I don't know much about other file managers, maybe rox-filler or xfe could suit you.
