 Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2004 5:52 pm Post subject: KDE 3.3 and icon grid |
 |
|
After updating to KDE 3.3, the grid when aligning the icons on the desktop is too huge in it's vertical direction. I didn't have this problem with KDE 3.2.3, and I know others do have this problem, too.
See here for an example:

Anyone knows how to fix this, to get the icons closer vertically?
Regards,
Jens |

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Well, a very discussed and hated feature, search on bugs.kde.org for more detailed infos.

~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
[DesktopIcons]
DesktopGridSpacing=x,y
e.g: x=62 und y=0 works for me |

Thanks hds, this did the trick for me. I fiddled around with two parameters ("GridXSpacing" and "GridYSpacing", I don't know from where I took these from), and obviously they didn't work anymore.
LOL, ok, so I'm not the only one mad about this. Since it is configurable manually, I don't see what's the big deal to have it configurable via the "Icons" settings in the GUI.
Anyway, thanks again, I'm happy now. |

they have been in previous versions (beta2 or/and rc2), but GridYSpacing never did anything for me.
Well - yes, it would be nice if this would be configurable via the ControlCenter maybe. OTOH with x and y parameters this is more comfortable then ever IMHO.
Bug solved  |

I agree that it would be nice if this "feature" could be configured via the Controlcenter instead of editing the config file - because of the fact that so many ppl are complaining about that, they surely will do something...
it's not a bug, it's a feature!

Thank you for your hints, I was able to fix this "feature". In Konqueror I have a similar problem, but the other way round. The icons are too close to one another, so I'm not able to read longer filenames. Any ideas?
