Change Icons in Task Bar


Hi Guys,

I have a question and it is how do I change the size of the Icons in the task bar.

I am using LM 17.3 Rosa.

I have looked all over and could not find any adjustment for the Icons in the task bar.

Thanks for reading.

Which desktop environment are you using, MATE, Cinnamon, or something else?

I vaguely remember that this indeed isn't easy or obvious to change.
iirc think the bar is styled with pure css. the only way i can think of is to create a copy of the theme in question and start hacking it.
a css tutorial might come in handy.

CSS

Thanks for your suggestion.

I went to the CSS web site and messed around awhile. Very interesting stuff and not sure I want to take on the task of hacking the theme. I was looking for something like clicking on the Icon and resizing it...you know something simple. LOL

Again thanks for reading and responding.


Chow,

Right click on empty area of main panel->Panel settings->set Allow Cinnamon to scale panel... to ON & adjust Panel height slider.

Is that what you're looking for?
