Resizing launcher icons?

ricardogce · 2016-03-31 05:50:57

Hi, all. First post on the forum. I've been using Linux and XFCE for a few years, but haven't tried messing with theming till now, and was hoping someone might be able to help:

Basically, I'm using Ravefinity's Radiance Flat theme for XFCE, and I'd like to get the main panel launcher icons to be the same size as they are on the default theme, as seen in this screenshot (Radiance on top, default on the bottom):

I've looked through the CSS files, but haven't found anything. Is there a common setting I should be looking for? Thanks in advance for any info you might have.

If you increase the size of the panel the launcher icons will increase to match. Right click on the panel select Panel - Panel Preferences - Display - Row size

That's the thing, I don't want them to increase. Both rows in the screenshot are the same height, 32px. What I like about the default theme (bottom one) is that the icons are a bit smaller and more spaced out, sorta like the quicklaunch icons used to be in Windows XP. But most themes are more like the one seen in the top row, with icons occupying about 95% of the height of the panel.

So what I'm after is where to edit the theme files to make sure the launcher icons are x% smaller than whatever the default size is.

That is a different thing. You mention css files, that sounds like GTK3. I may be mistaken but I think the panel is still GTK2 although it does support GTK3 plugins etc. The theme should have a section for xfce-panel or at least a GTK2 section.

Ahh, gotcha. I'll look into GTK2. Sorry for the confusion, I'm just getting started on all this. Thanks for the pointers!

Have a look at this thread.

That's exactly what I needed! Thanks so much!
