Package: fbpanel
Version: 6.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

I want the ability to set icon size in menus, eg. through an option "IconSize" 
in the config file. It is the same functionality as is asked for in (yesterday 
:-) ) archived bug #506769 and I can't find it, so I don't think it's 
implemented, at least not in the 6.0-2 version currently in Sid.

I have found cryptic messages on the official fbpanel mailing list pointing 
toward this functionality being addressed in upstream version 6.1, released 
2010-07-11. I quote from 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=AANLkTimqr3bqIUzTJQQJOAleDQVk3GbvayeZynC5wqHL%40mail.gmail.com
 :

"""
New Features:
....
* multiline launchbar: row height is MaxIconSize
....

Fixed Bugs:
....
2993878: set menu icons size from panel config not from gtk rc
....
"""

The "new feature" ( 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2991163&group_id=66031&atid=513128
 ) indicates that the attribute "MaxIconSize" is implemented, which may not be 
exactly the same as the wanted "IconSize", but it helps. From its name I would 
guess the option won't scale up icons smaller than MaxIconSize to MaxIconSize, 
and the SVG behaviour is left a bit undecided.

The "fixed bug" is the one on 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2993878&group_id=66031&atid=513125
 , I quote:

"""
Set menu icons size from panel config not from gtk rc
I think that config spliting between fbpanel config and gtk rc for single 
plugin is wrong.
Or do not do it at all or or lets do it for all plagin and panel and then we 
must decide where each end every option will reside
"""

It doesn't say which solution was chosen in the end though (I've tested 
controlling icon size through .gtkrc-2.0 with 6.0-2 - no effect on fbpanel).

All in all, maybe this bug is sort of fixed in the current upstream version.
