Sorry it's me ranting again. Do we HAVE to have those large buttons? I find them clumsy at this size. Up to now, there was:
- a meaningful hierarchy of sizes: main tool buttons large, tool
control buttons small.
- a coordination of the sizes of the buttons and the rest of controls
(spinbuttons, etc).
Both these are now broken. Why? What for? Can we return the small size at least as an option?
I'm aware of the "other apps do it this way" argument, and I'm generally sympathetic, but I don't think it has the priority over the "yuck, it's ugly" argument. That is, when what other apps do looks nice or at least decent, borrow. When our own solution is demonstrably better, stick with it.
Hello Bulia!
Well, it was I that poited out the bug/feature in the chatroom. Before the change the stock items seemed blurry because they were scaled down from 24x24 (the normal resolution for buttons) to 20x20. As you might notice they are much crisper now.
The other thing I encountured, and the real reason I brought the issue up, was because I was trying to make the icons in the menus bigger, from 13x13-14x14-something to 16x16. This was because the current size of the icons was making them very hard to differ from eachother (especially the zoom icons). I rezised them a bit and got them up to 16x16, but then the icons in the toolbar got clipped in a very strange way, and therefore I asked around for it. I haven´t properly tested if the clipping still occur yet, but hopefully it don´t. I´ll send a mail tomorrow. I´m sorry if my request has upset you, because I was only trying to solve what I thought was a bug.
The Gimp has an approach where you can choose between small and default icons for the toolbar. Maybe something like that would work?
Nice to see your improvments on my icons. Take care! - Andreas
