Yeah, the reason why i do not like that is the extra job of remaking the icons and the plausible extra battery drain. But thanks anyway

Does someone have the knowledge and will to do an app to make this happen? It could be pretty basic.
1. It would need to have a drop down with the applications from program menu.
2. A slider for resizing.
3. maybe an option to change to a custom icon.
4. Important to use as little power as possible (for battery).
Basically just a more slimmed QBW...

I have made my whole UI match the ApplicationShortcutApplet icons, the dial pad, the onscreen qwerty etc, i will post it all once iv finished it.

For a quick and dirty reduction in size why not just use a clear image for ApplicationShortcutApplet. (attached)
As you pro'ly know by now .desktop files look for the associated icon in the N900:\usr\share\icons\hicolor\64x64\hildon directory.
Even if you found a way to change this behavior globally for it then to say look in N900:\usr\share\icons\hicolor\48x48\hildon instead, the icons are not there and would have to be built anyway.
What I used to do on my N800 was manually reduce the size of each icon to 48 x 48 with a program like PaintShopPro or Gimp and then change the canvas size (background) of that now smaller icon back to a clear 64 x 64 background...
It was repetetive and tedious work but it kept me off the mean streets and I think I may have avoided hard jail time because of that. The N800 made me a better person.
EDIT: Attached zipped file because clear images are hard to grab... Doh!

See the icons on the lower left - office, farm, & rach
it's a one-click call. I'm sure you could do the same thing to launch applications and you can size the icon to whatever you like.
the queenbee code for a call
