Increase menu button size in XFCE?
Hi,
I'm running Slackware 13.37 with XFCE. I'm trying to increase the menu button size. I remember having succeeded in doing this with XFCE 4.2, but I unfortunately forgot to write down how I did that. Any suggestions? |
OK, I know now how I did increase the menu button size in XFCE 4.4 (not 4.2), but things seem to work differently with XFCE 4.6.
I've found an old series of SlackBuild scripts I wrote back in 2007, and here's the trick I used. After building the gtk-xfce-engine package, I did this: Code:
CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" \ Any clues? PS: you may ask why I do this. This will eventually become the "production desktop" to install in our public libraries. A significant number of users who will use these desktops are older persons, and I try as much as possible to take various impairments into account, so I configure a huge panel with big icons, I choose the biggest window decorations I can find, and so the menu icon size is the last problem I have to solve here. |
OK, I just stumbled over the solution. Looks like things have changes significantly from XFCE 4.4 to 4.6. The latter has adopted a gconf style configuration method. Here's the secret command:
Code:
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p '/Gtk/IconSizes' -s 'gtk-menu=24,24' |
Post scriptum: here's the screenshot I promised, so you see what it actually looks like.
