Hi everyone,
Trying to sort some bugs on Launchpad I dug into icon sizes a bit. In previous conversations, Jon Cruz specified that Inkscape icon sizes are defined in src/icon-sizes.h: enum IconSize { ICON_SIZE_INVALID = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID, ICON_SIZE_MENU = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU, ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR, ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR, ICON_SIZE_BUTTON = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON, ICON_SIZE_DND = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND, ICON_SIZE_DIALOG = ::GTK_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG, ICON_SIZE_DECORATION };
However, those definitions seem to have strange effects in the facts. Namely:
- the toolbox has size "LARGE_TOOLBAR" but won't scale to 48 (displays as >~16) or 32 (displays as <16) http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1047321/toolbox-bar.xcf NB: I am linking to xcf images because they make it easy to compare the different sizes in different layers - the snapping toolbar has size "SMALL_TOOLBAR" but behaves the same way regarding large sizes http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1047321/toolbars.xcf - the custom size "DECORATION" affects: . the color picker: 48 makes it bigger. the rest does not change . the triangle at the end of the color picker strip: changes correctly with all sizes, so it would seem that is working correctly then. But since the color picker itself does not scale to the same height, it usually appears too big or too small compared to it. Ideally, it should always have the same height as the color picker (hence be affected by the choice of size in the picker itself, which is not the case currently) . the lock and eye icon of the layer drop down, the zoom icon at the top right corner of the canvas, and probably other places, which display the same issue as the icons above http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1047321/custom-decoration.xcf
So there is a common pattern (hence a common fix?). Overall, it seems that stock icons (i.e not Inkscape provided ones) scale, but Inkscape icons do not scale. I understand this since Inkscape icons used to be designed and rendered in a different way. However: - I thought that recent changes to the icon handling would make Inkscape icons behave as the rest (this was tested with rev 21339 and I haven't seen any icon related changes in the svn log since, and with no custom configuration in .config/Inkscape) - even if they do not behave as the rest, they should at least display at their maximum size when the GTK size it set higher that it (32 and 48).
Thanks in advance for any information on all this.
