Large icons in KMenu

krussell · 12-03-2006, 02:04 AM

Hello :-)
I was trying to make my KMenu icons as big as in Kubuntu or SuSE. I mean, whenver you click on the KMenu the start menu appears, my question is how to change the icon size of this menu. I have tried from KControl where you can change the folder/desktop icon size, but no item for the KMenu. But in SuSE or Kubuntu there you will notice the KMenu icons are much larger and looks good as well.
can anyone give me some clue regarding this?

Control centre> Appearance & Themes > Fonts
Here (on my system anyway) is a option to change fonts for Menu:

Hello :-)
Thanks for the reply.
That means changing the font size will also change the icon size.

Oops better learn to read the question.
I do not know how to do this in Control Centre

however, if you don't mind editing config files by hand, go to
~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc

Edit/Add the entry under [menus] to
MenuEntryHeight=32 (or 22 for only slightly larger)
I guess your theme has to support the icon size you choose

then you most likely will want to change the font size too :-)

edit: run
dcop kicker Panel restart
