PATCH: Default panel size for 2.5
Last modified: 2005-08-15 01:27:20 UTC
The default panel size has changed from 22px in 2.2 to 32px in 2.4. I'm wonder if there is a specific resason for this. It causes icons to be streched unpleasantly and takes up a _lot_ of screen real estate, especially at low resolutions.
Actually it used to be 24px
Oh yeah, and I'm not talking about the default size of a newly created panel, i'm talking about the size of the panels created by default for a new user.
Created attachment 19774 [details] [review] Patch to correct default panel size
This has been discussed on d-d-l, but I can't remember what has been decided. Will this patch be applied for 2.4.1 and 2.5.x or is it WONTFIX ?
It can definately go in for 2.5 and should probably go in for 2.4.1 too.
Oh, _that's_ what happened. On my 800x600 monitor on the box I use for testing and for taking to events to demo (it's a small monitor and a very small computer, so possible to transport) I have to shrink the thing right down every time I create a new user or a demo user. Please put the panel back to its earlier size. It's bad enough at that size on 800x600, but any larger is just ridiculous.
Upgrading the priority level to High because of the attached patch.
Fixed in HEAD.
