Some of the icons in the application grid are too big. This disrupts the regularity of the grid and makes the padding with the app launcher labels too narrow.

In the attached screenshot, examples of icons that are too large include: Firefox, XChat and VLC. Notice that the icons are scaled correctly in the dash.

This is an application bug -- nothing we can do about it.

app grid experiment

I've done some more research here. It seems to me that the issue stems from the use of padding in the GNOME hi-res application icons. This clashes with many 3rd party app icons, which often don't have padding. Compare the icons for Clocks and VLC in the attachment, for example.
Comment 3 Jakub Steiner 2013-03-10 10:17:31 UTC
I have to agree with Jasper here. Some of the app icons aren't using the space efficiently. I'll see about enlarging gedit and clocks.
Comment 4 Allan Day 2013-08-27 22:49:14 UTC
OK, let's say this is an app issue.
