Description John Sullivan 2001-09-10 00:33:32 UTC
To make zooming work on the desktop, we'd have to deal with how to position
icons that no longer fit in the fixed-size desktop area. This would also be
required for auto-arranging icons on the desktop. Note that bug 41737 says
"disable zoom on desktop", so we have to do either that one or this one.

Zooming on the desktop might be neat, but it doesn't seem required.

One thing that will break is the fixed size I am using for the desktop layout 
grid cell.  Of course, I can scale this based on the zoom level, but I will 
mention this for future reference.

Well, if zooming itself is not supported on the desktop, could there at least 
be some option for a default size on the icons? The icons are so huge as 
compared to what I'm used to. My default zoom level in windows is 75%, which 
seems just about right to me.

We support this now; we use the default zoom level in the desktop
view. I don't think we should support arbitary zooming though.
