Set icon size in tray
« on: February 02, 2012, 06:07:54 AM »
OK, silly question time!!  

I have Bonsai with no panel, but with "stallonetray", a stand alone tray in the dock.  The net applet icon is  22x22 - very neat.  I wish to add a clipboard thingy like "clipit" or "parcellite", both of which have 66x66 icons which is way out of scale with the net applet icon.  How the heck do I nominate a 22x22 icon?  I have tried all sorts of things through the .desktop file including scaled versions and redirections but I may be heading in the wrong direction there.  Any ideas?

Aahh cr@p - that was too easy!! Answer to silly question above was to go to "stalonetrayrc" and edit the parameters for max_geometry.  Automatically scales.  Yeah, I know, everyone already knew that ;D.


EDIT - now that was TOO easy.  Tried clipit as well but it was too big, even with the same icon as parcellite.  Parcellite is pointing to a 22x22 icon.  With clipit and parcellite in the tray they were BOTH too big, even with the same icon.  Remove clipit from the autostart file, reboot, and all is well.  Reboot seems to be required to get some of these things to stick.  This is giving me a headache ???.

Hi,
I know none of the programs you are using. You might make your posts colourful with some references and screenshots.

If you need to rescale an icon, why not recreate a ~/.icon filesystem tree and add your's there ? It will probably work. Then inside, you could put icons of the size you wish.
If ImageMagick is installed in your system:
Code: [Select]
$ convert -resize 22x22 your-icon.png your-icon.png
Think about it, while you are having headaches tweaking the look of your tiny icon images, some are having fun trying to get rid of  new brands of viruses. ;D

Why do Windows users get all the fun of strange and weird afflictions, and we don't?  It's not fair, I say!!

I think they are weird keeping the habbit of using such a twisted OS instead of taking time to get headaches due to tiny icons. ;D
