The title text for the icons seems tied to the icon size. As you can see on http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/icons-48px-desktop-suse110-1920x1440x144.jpg it is impossible with the amount of text allocated to 48px icons to distinguish between the various shares shown on the desktop. IOW, the icons are too small.
Better for usability reasons to start bigger rather than smaller, because if smaller to start with, it's harder to reconfigure.
If you can configure them to be smaller you can configure them to be bigger!
Only in theory. In general, when things are too small to start with, it can be difficult or impossible to navigate through settings in order to make things big enough to see. Not everyone has the visual acuity of the 18 year olds who design web sites overwhelmed with content text smaller than browser UI text.
And the text under them is NOT connected to how big the icons are.
After some experimenting I see this is true, and in KDE3 at least, that as DPI goes up, the relative allocation for the text goes down, since that space is allocated in px instead of in pt. Hopefully this is something fixed in KDE4.
You ARE using openSUSE when you are making these statements aren't you?
Sorry if I assumed you could tell that from the screenshot. It used to be that the titlebars in SUSE's default theme included the head of the SUSE mascot, but now I see in Factory that is missing. -- "Either the constitution controls the judges, or the judges rewrite the constitution."
