Icons are taking over the World! In Fedora 21, that is.
I've always been afraid that the GUI generation would eventually
make Linux completely unusable, and now they've almost succeeded. :-)
In a few F21 GUI panels the icons are grotesquely large - 1.75 inches
square on a 15 inch wide monitor. Normal size would be ~0.25 in.
This makes the panel nearly incomprehensible. This occurs in, eg,
system-config-printer
system-config-firewall
virt-manager
A screenshot is attached of virt-manager running an instance of Centos
7 on the Fedora 21 host.
[No, it's not! GUI's are OK; images of them are too big for this
list. Sigh...]
The virt-manager icons are so big that that
the virtual window cannot be enlarged to a proper size.
A possible clue to the error are the messages in the root window
following the virt-manager command:
[root@datwiz ~]
# virt-manager
[root@datwiz ~]
#
(virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error:
gtk.css:67:18: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.
(virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error:
gtk.css:67:20: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.
Similar messages appear when system-config-printer is invoked.
Unfortunately these mean nothing to me.
FWIW, I installed F20 using the wonderful Live Xfce4 images ( thank you
Kevin Fenzi ), and have completely avoided the dreaded Gnome. I've
enabled multi-user.target so that neither lightdm nor gdm can destroy
my env variables.
My questions to you all:
Does anyone see these huge icons in the example programs?
Can anyone guess the problem with the Theme?
Am I the only one with the problem? On three machines, so far?
