Tile/Icon size in CC Shel
Last modified: 2010-02-25 20:54:51 UTC
After using the new CC Shell for a few days now I have to say I sometimes have problems scanning the window for a given config app. I think it would help to have smaller tiles: just a 22x22 icon and the text besides that and make it look more like the nautilus listview or GTK+ filechooser for example. Perhaps there could be an option to set the icon size that would scale down the tiles automatically? I also suggest to try 32x32 icons instead of 48x48 as a default.
libslab issue. I'd also like to suggest that to save space, the text inside tiles wraps around if possible. At the minimum, any text that doesn't fit in the tile should wrap by default, as at the moment it is ellipsized regardless of whether it would be able to wrap.
Icon sizes were reduced in SVN trunk (revision 190).
Can someone with rights confirm this bug?
Ideally icon sizes should follow the preferred size from the gtk+ theme. At the very least they should follow the size of nautilus icons.
Created attachment 88403 [details] [review] Wrap names of application tiles This works nicely with the control center shell, and also together with a generic name it is not that much of a problem. Comments?
Comments?
CC'ing rodrigo.
This doesn't seem to change much, the tiles seem a bit smaller, but not that much.
This patch is not about reducing tile size. It's purpose is to avoid cut-off names because of ellipsization (see comment #1).

This patch doesn't currently work with the gnome-main-menu. It causes g-m-m to open partly out of screen, which it then corrects while being open. Need to solve that before we can consider this patch.
This patch works nicely for me; I've pushed it to master (28626cd). Magnus, g-m-m doesn't open in the wrong spot or jump... I pushed the patch for g-m-m to position itself in the right place even in small displays. Can you please test it again on your box? I don't know why it would shift positions for you...
