Work-around in #22 is not really addressing the main problem here. Why most people want to adjust the panel height is not because they want a bigger panel - they want larger "quick launch"-icons. Icons in the panel are by default very small with 24px height and when you scale the panel up a bit you get the much better-looking larger icons.
Might seem like a minor problem, but this has serious disadvantages by making the UI crappier for many people. This was easy to fix in all the previous Ubuntu versions without any hacks. 10.04 broke it. Here is a confirmed, less time-consuming GUI work-around to work-around #22 for installing Ubuntu for non-technical users: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Keep panel height 24px - Right-click Firefox-icon and uncheck "Lock to panel" - Drag Firefox-icon to the exact centre of desktop - Rename "Firefox Web Browser" to "Internet" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And no, this is not a troll, it origins from a real life 15-year old Windows 95 user experience enhancement-trick :) >From my point of view no workarounds are needed here, but a fix would be >really nice. I would recommend raising the importance on this from "low" to "high". -- Light-themes: panel-background isn't scaling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532309 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
