Hi All, I ran a poll on twitter for a week < https://twitter.com/jphilipz/status/1149373399770312705 >, with pleia2's help < https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/1149374615392792576 >, and 60 votes came in and 57% want it to be increased to 28 or above and 43% voted for the current 24px default. Its hard to know whether those voting for the 24px default would be happy with this vote, if they were using 19.04 and above, as the default icons there are 16x16 compared to 20x20 in 18.04. With the new algorithm for the panel of never upscaling or downscaling icons to panel_size - 4, this is another reason in favour of moving to 28px IMHO.
Some additional numbers: Ubuntu: 66px (panel is in Deskbar mode) Windows 7: 40px Regards, Yousuf Philips On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 1:44 AM Yousuf Philips <ypha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > As part of my initial UI and UX work on Xubuntu, i've been focused on > improvements to the panel properties dialog and I created a video with a > number of suggestions < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF-XHI6_37A > and > one of them was changing the default panel height.
