[Bug 815440] Re: Icons in Dash aren't resizable
This would be one of those cliched "low-hanging-fruits", providing a big bang for a small effort. An easy fix which would go a long way in improving the UX and customer experience. But no, six years on, people are still asking for this. And then some wonder why Linux doesn't get more acceptance with the general populace. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815440 Title: Icons in Dash aren't resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Opps sorry screen shot above is here: http://divnut.com/Ubuntu/Screenshot_Unity_Lens_Icons_2012_11_09.png and I recommend the following as improvements to the Unity Lens interface: 1) Provide Unity ICON size adjustment 2) Provide Unity ICON Text size adjustment 3) Provide Unity ICON mouse over text describing the item 4) Provide a Unity Lens right side scroll widget (like normal Ubuntu windows) for Laptop users without a mouse! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815440 Title: Icons in Dash aren't resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 815440] Re: Icons in Dash aren't resizable
I think this is a real priority, its basic MMI. I defected to Xubuntu when unity first came out because the ICON size was just far to big on my 10.1 inch Netbook screen. I'm now using a Laptop with a 15.6 in screen and back with Ubuntu 12.10 installed and still the ICONS are far to big. Have a look at this screen shot: http://divnut.co.uk/Ubuntu/Screenshot_Unity_Lens_Icons_2012_11_09.png Compare the launcher ICON size (32) with the Lens ICON size, wouldn't the Laptop User and Desktop User be better off with smaller ICONs. MMI is about providing an efficient interface !! 1) Provide Unity ICON size adjustment 2) Provide Unity ICON Text size adjustment 3) Provide Unity ICON mouse over text describing the item 4) Provide a Unity Lens right side scroll widget (like normal Ubuntu windows) for Laptop users without a mouse! Apart from the above, I'm loving Ubuntu 12.10 on my HP Envy Sleekbook. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815440 Title: Icons in Dash aren't resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 815440] Re: Icons in Dash aren't resizable
At a minimum, a resize option is badly needed as the default will only be 'nice' on some platforms. On my laptop it they are gigantic. I would like to be able to dump them altogether. I can read program names and find items that way 100 times faster than trying to decipher an icon. I guess I am just an old guy that learned to read before the days of icons and so am not bothered by text. With a pull down menu I can find an item in a list of maybe 40 in just a couple of seconds and not have to do any scrolling. It is all fitting on the pull down . It is an awful lot of scrolling to get through 40 giant icons to find something. This seems like MSWindows. The large icon system on a tablet is necessary because you can't 'click' on small text, but tablets have touch screens. There is a huge inefficiency for desktop/laptop keyboard/mouse usage when you don't have a touch screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815440 Title: Icons in Dash aren't resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 815440] Re: Icons in Dash aren't resizable
This is my last remaining gripe with unity 3D. Default icons in the Launcher, Dash and Desktop are too big for a regular Desktop/Notebook. Dash needs a configuration tool for icon, text and screen sizes. Transparency control is also a big problem Dash is unusable with most desktop backgrounds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815440 Title: Icons in Dash aren't resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 815440] Re: Icons in Dash aren't resizable
I totally agree, I'm also stuck with this lack of feature. I actually love unity, it fits both my desktop and tablet. However it's a bit ironic that even though it's made to match multiple device, the menu does not fit on my netbook or tablet. If icons were resizable, and the dash window as well, all would be perfect.

they are so big on my eeepc that they disappear off screen. no way to know what those icons are or to reach the ones that are offscreen. this issue crops up in a numbers of places where there are non-resizable windows of icons where many are unreachable. disappointing release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815440 Title: Icons in Dash aren't resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/815440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
