Large Icons, tint2 configuration

[PackRat]

Was setting up tint2 as a pager of sorts -



one issue I'm having is getting larger icons. I tried setting different panel widths and paddings, but the icons weren't expanding in the vertical. Am I missing something obvious? I was trying to get 48x48 icons.

Edit - never mind, figured it out.

Pertinent section -

task_maximum_size = width height
        width is used with horizontal panel. width = 0 to get full taskbar width
        height is used with vertical panel

was misinterpreting how that worked.

Send me your config... I would like to test along with you ... glad you got it resolved... But still, please post the config

Icons in tint2 are always a mystery and even an enigma...  You can set icon sizes in luanchers and in systray but not in tasks as I understand it

Let's see if we can resolve it

Sure - just some simple edits to the icons_only6 example file if you download the source:

I'm thinking that the height/width are not independent of one another, set one and the other calculated - set appropriate one depending on if the panel will be horizontal or vertical. Had to remember that it's an icon embedded in a task button - text hidden in this scenario - not an icon, so the maximum available icon size is selected based on the height/width, panel width, and paddings.
