Deskbar icons here: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7132. Perhaps if that
ticket were to be finished and accepted you could use the Ctrl+Alt+Right
Mouse Button to resize the Deskbar icons which would effectively increase
the area of the Deskbar window.
I've not tested it yet and don't know exactly whether we mean the same,
but I think that icon sizes and the size of the deskbar are different
things, although there might me some correlation. While someone want's to
have a large deskbar with plenty space for small icons, others may want to
have bigger icons only.

> How about horizontally resizing changes the width of the Deskbar and
vertically the icon size? It may be useful to have either fixed icon
sizes, like 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, as even being vector icons, not every
size renders equally nice, I think.
>Or at least have these sizes a bit "sticky" to set them more easily.
Maybe even a little overlay showing the icon size while you're dragging á
là Terminal.[[BR]]

you could remove the app name beside the icon.
Although vector icons should provide similar quality for any size I would
prefer step-wise resizing as well.
I really think these are different concepts. One is the size of the
deskbar itself, while the other is the size of its contents. They should
be treated separately. Example: The increased deskbar size (in horizontal
mode) could also be used to allow multiple rows for application buttons.
