I'm not sure if this is the correct component.

When I configure an Exchange account the window resizes of the screen and I cannot access the buttons (especially on a 15" display) to continue without moving the windows and on KDE it cannot move the window of screen so I cannot access them. 

Also in the preferences the 'Calendar and Tasks' icon is huge. This means I have to scroll in the left pane and also it looks very strange.

I have uploaded some screen shots of the problems. I had to add the screenshots to a compressed gzip because I have multiple files and it doesn't allow multiple files

Thanks for a bug report. That gzip seems to be broken, the extract GUI tool has problem to work with it. You can attach several files, just do it one by one.

For the giant icon in the Edit->Properties, there had been bug #776969, and some other, which doesn't touch Preferences, but which is about the same issue, only on a different place.

The size of the New Mail Account and Account Properties dialogs is bug #783987.

Never mind, I managed to extract it on the command line, with some warnings:
> tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'
> tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.fflags'
> tar: Removing leading `../' from member names

I suppose the width of the New Account Wizard is made by you, am I right?

By the way, what is your icon theme/desktop theme? I'd like to verify that the possible changes will work, which is usually better with some data, than by trying to mimic the behaviour by "cheating" in the code/data.

One interesting part is that the GtkAssistant didn't use correct colors for the page names on the left, as it's black background with black text color. Evolution doesn't influence it, as far as I know.
Comment 3 Milan Crha 2017-07-13 09:11:45 UTC
I fixed it with the below change, tested by cheating with the icons in my icon theme. That's basically the main issue here, an application asks for an icon in certain size, but the icon theme has there stored/provides an icon of different size. That means that it's an issue of the icon theme, rather than of the application, which just relies on the icon theme to return requested data, not different data.
