#7132: Deskbar Resize Team Icons -----------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: jscipione | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Deskbar | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 1 Platform: All | Blocking: -----------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by jscipione): Replying to [comment:6 humdinger]: > True. Maybe it could snap to 8n pixels on vertical resize. Do we really want to do this at all though? The Deskbar "window" is not resizable, in that it has the B_NOT_RESIZABLE flag set. The ctrl+alt functionality should respect that flag and not try and resize the window. I am working on an updated patch that will resize the window both horizontally and vertically based on the user's icon size slider setting (right now it only adjusts the window horizontally). So the slider gives the user limited control over the windows size. By implementing the ctrl+alt resize functionality in Deskbar we would give the user the ability to control the windows height and width much more dramatically, and I think that is a bad thing. The Deskbar should be as wide as it needs to be and no more. Perhaps the user-interface could allow for resizing the window in a different way than a slider, but using the ctrl+alt resize functionality for this is misplaced. My main worry for this feature is that the larger icons may make the Deskbar too wide, not that we need to allow the user to make the Deskbar window wider! One option that was suggested to me would be to allow the user to get rid of the Application name labels, replaced them with a tooltip when one hovers the mouse over the icon. This might be a good way to go to allow for wider icons without making the Deskbar itself too wide. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7132#comment:7> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
