Re: resizing the program icons on desktop?

Ok.. now i have found the wonders of Imagemagick. To do this automatically i have installed it. "apt-get install imagemagick". And then gone to resize all in the folders using. "mogrify -resize 48x48! *.png"

It would be possible to do a script for making this even more comfortable but i do not dare to do it. Here is some reference material: http://www.perturb.org/display/Image...ze_images.html

Edit1: I'll be coming with a more complete howto and a screenie if i am successful.

Edit2: It was not successful. I managed to resize the icons but not the space. So the icons decreased but not the actual place where you press. So the space that are not occupied by the icon is now transparent. In the screenie i have put some "brackets" to illustrate this. It would be the same if i resize the brackets too.

Edit3: Made another screenie how it looks now. The same problem still exists but got it almost as i like it. The Chrome icon are in svg so it was not possible to resize. It scales automatic to the global size.

Re: resizing the program icons on desktop?

Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick here but I've found that if you keep the icons in the same folder but just change the size you can edit the icon size on the desktop.

For instance my fmms icon in 64x64 Hildon I've re-sized to 48x48 without any issue.

That is what i have done in the above screenshot. The problem in this procedure is that even though the visual part is 48x48 the transparent/clickable part still is 64x64. You can test this by clicking just beside the icon.

This would not be a problem if you have a singualar shortcut but when you do as I and put the side by side. The chance of misclick is high.

With this hildon-home, you can set the size of the shortcut widgets with the command

Code:

gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-home/task-shortcuts-size -t int 64

You should restart hildon-home after changing the size.

Thank you so much! I guess the string for me would be..

Code:

gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-home/task-shortcuts-size -t int 48

Will do some experimenting when i get home ;)

Re: resizing the program icons on desktop?

I could of course not wait.. and tried it. Worked flawlessly. Thanks again Matan. Guys like you are the real heroes of Maemo ;)

Re: resizing the program icons on desktop?

Matan: Would i be able to do the same with the contact-shortcut? Or does the .deb need to be hacked again?
