How to Resize Launcher Icons?

hello

How to Resize Launcher Icons?

xfce docs says:

You can set a custom menu and tooltip icon size in gtk-icon-sizes with the name panel-launcher-menu and panel-launcher-tooltip. The default icon sizes are both 32px. Special widget names in this plugin are launcher-button and launcher-arrow.
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/launcher

i put  "panel-launcher-menu 2,2" into settings editor, and rebooted. did not work.

thx!

Re: How to Resize Launcher Icons?

The entry should be:

panel-launcher-menu=2,2

...note the = sign. You'll also have to restart the panel for it to take effect:

xfce4-panel -r

Re: How to Resize Launcher Icons?

Hrm,  but I did use =  .
After restart, the = was gone.

Restarting the computer is as good as restarting the panel, right?

This was all BEFORE attempting to install Wine.

Now, AFTER installing Wine, i'm getting:

# winetricks

(zenity:13700): Gtk-WARNING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string:
    'panel-launcher-menu 2,2'

(zenity:14149): Gtk-WARNING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string:
    'panel-launcher-menu 2,2'

(zenity:15073): Gtk-WARNING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string:
    'panel-launcher-menu 2,2'

(zenity:15327): Gtk-WARNING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string:
    'panel-launcher-menu 2,2'

(zenity:15463): Gtk-WARNING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string:
    'panel-launcher-menu 2,2'

(zenity:15504): Gtk-WARNING **: Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string:
    'panel-launcher-menu 2,2'
#

Any ideas?

Thx!

Re: How to Resize Launcher Icons?

The reason that you are getting that message is because the = sign is missing from that configuration parameter. The interesting thing here is why is it being removed during reboot.

.

Which distro and which version of Xfce are you using?

.

Can you do the following:
1. Run this command:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/IconSizes -s "panel-launcher-menu=2,2"

2. Post back the results of this command:

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/IconSizes

3. Restart the panel:

xfce4-panel -r

4. Check to see if the icon sizes were changed.

5. Reboot your computer and post back the results of #2 again.

.

There is no need to reboot when changing that value. Restarting xfce4-panel will suffice.
