Hi. Hopefully this is the right place to report my problem. The steps to reproduce are: 1) Right click the desktop 2) Open "Desktop Settings..." 3) Icons on desktop change from size 36 ---> size 32. It would be extremely easy not to notice this, but it makes the desktop much less attractive. Only happens on the first time opening the dialog, afterwards the setting stays at 32. Notes: I am using Xfce 4.8 on Xubuntu 12.04
This should be resolved with the commit to master in: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=09f4a5e334a6858369ea69cc62ddd381250c9d62 Which also changes the default to 48 (to better match Thunar's default).
I think that you also need to change this value: diff --git a/src/xfce-desktop.c b/src/xfce-desktop.c index 399d2fc..ef9c87e 100644 --- a/src/xfce-desktop.c +++ b/src/xfce-desktop.c @@ -839,7 +839,7 @@ xfce_desktop_class_init(XfceDesktopClass *klass) g_param_spec_uint("icon-size", "icon size", "icon size", - 8, 192, 36, + 8, 192, 48, XFDESKTOP_PARAM_FLAGS)); g_object_class_install_property(gobject_class, PROP_ICON_FONT_SIZE,
Changed it to use DEFAULT_ICON_SIZE to make it less error prone if the default size changes again in the future. Pushed to master in: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=5203d9aa93e40dbddc81895fa60c8d1c99dd95f3 Thanks for spotting that!
