Right click on the task bar, configure panel. Adjust the "size" to your desired size. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
It seems to me that nobody knows how kickoff works. Who wrote this code?Did you take it from MS;-) ?? Jokes apart I also posted some questions about it but I didn't get any reply... Cheers, G Krupanský Rastislav wrote:

I'd answer but I have no idea what the kickoff menu even is. I have a geeko menu, does that help? For geeko menu, I set Personal Settings > Appearance And Themes > Icons > Advanced. From there you set icon size to your heart's content.

Heh - viruses don't work well in Linux. :P

Me and others. The icon size is hard-coded at the moment, we may make it configurable with the next version. Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Nice job, so far! I'd vote for the option of requiring it to be user configurable, thank you. I deal with a lot of different screen sizes and resolutions and would really prefer to be able to set both the new and old style menu icon size to something more reasonable than huge. Same for the fonts while we're at it. Oh, and did I mention the other display choices such as name only, name+description, name on top+description on bottom, etc, etc? Then there is that annoying issue where you have to click back and forth to navigate through the menu levels. Drives me nuts. Couldn't there be a mouse-over with a short timeout for the left/right arrows that would send us forward/backward in the menu tree without clicking? Thanks for listening. I'm trying to use the new style menu more but there are those idiosyncracies of mine...

The browsing trough Applications menus is mine problem too. 1) Automatic vs. Manual opening: Some people think it is better as prevention of unwanted items to open, but for me it is a problem as it slows down the browsing to level that I don't want to accept. I know that there is a better option. 2) The old KDE menu style keeps on screen the whole tree. I can see where I am. With kickoff it is not the case. Even with automatic switching I would have to remember more items than I have to with KDE. The GUI is introduced as a help to reduce memorizing of file/application position and keep focus on file content, ie. actual work, which improves productivity. Reversing that in the name of clean look is against the very reason for GUI. BTW, what would be good mail list to talk again about kickoff. I like cleaner look, but functionality is above all for items like system menu. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's not true: the application browser shows a "bread crumb" at its top so you can always say in what sub-menu you are and what are its parents.

Something new. Paths that eyes follow are pressed deep in the screen, it is not easy to jump out of them :-) -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The icon size of the "old" menu style is an upstream configuration setting: try something like "kwriteconfig --file kickerrc --group menus --key MenuEntryHeight 16" and restart the panel ("dcop kicker Panel restart").
Same for the fonts while we're at it. Oh, and did I mention the other
