The icons and system tray are too big in Kicker


I'm using Slackware 12.0 and I tried to customize the look of my OS to Mac-like.

I installed baghira 0.8 by using Slackbuild,and everything goes well except the K-Menu icon are too big in Kicker(The topmost of the desktop),and the system tray icons are too big as well.

Any idea on my problem?

Thank you for your reply.

Can you right-click the menu and select properties? Perhaps you'll be able to select a smaller size for the icons.

I think that you want Kicker -> Settings -> Appearance & Themes -> Icons -> Advanced -> Toolbar ( or Main Toolbar).
There is a setting for icon size.

This is a known issue that has had bug reports filed with it. I fix has never been produced the only work around I found was to increase the font size in kconfig and that would increase the size of the kicker. However this made the fonts to big, in the end I just learned to live with it.

If all you want is to reduce the size of the Kicker icons:

1. "Right-click" on the Kicker panel.
2. From the pop-up context menu, select Configure Panel....
3. In the Arrangement section, select the Size drop-down list.
4. Select a smaller size.
5. Select the Apply button.

That will only apply to the icons at the main panel,not Kicker itself.
