Add option for ToolbarIconZoomSize to control a larger icon and program title when a toolbar icon is hovered. [Enhancement idea] #637
Comments
I like all ideas related to "better introspection" so +1. Image may be helpful to more easily indicate how this should be positioned. |
For an efficient workflow (as compared to using menus, which are fine for programs I rarely use, but want available), I add a launcher icon to the toolbar for every application that I use even once a week or once a month. My icons need to be small to fit them all, so having them zoom when I hover will make them easier to see and get the right one. |
Is this OK? It doesn't need an option. |
That works great, Thanks :) |
@gijsbers I'm sorry, I should have thought of this, but what looks and feels great to me is not always right for everyone. For me the icons are beautiful, but to some others they are distracting because they pop up. Would it be possible to make a preferences/prefoverride option to turn them on/off? TaskBarShowToolTipIcon=0/1PS: I am suggesting on/off because the question to others seems to be should it pop up rather than how big should it be, and also I was looking at your naming convention, and it seems TaskBarShow is a better place for it. |
as a temporary workaround for those who didn't like it, I figured out that resizing the huge icons would minimize the issue. HugeIconSize - If you set it to 8 in ~/.icewm/prefoverride you may be happy again, that is until you find whatever else huge icons get used for… Dimension of the large iconsHugeIconSize=8 # [8-128] |
The workaround didn't work well enough and the Devs reverted the code back to before the larger icon when hovered. The large icons were great on my 1080p laptop (1920x1080) and 4k big screen (3840x2160). |
Works great, everyone is happy :) |
The idea is that when you hover over a toolbar icon currently, it displays the program title text overlaying the taskbar icon below.
This action would remain the same if ToolbarIconZoomSize=0 which would be the default value.
If ToolbarIconZoomSize=64 then it would display a zoomed to 64x64 sized icon and title text above (if toolbar at bottom) or below the toolbar icon area, similar to how the Network and CPU monitors display the tip text in a popup window above or below the tray area.
I will try to photoshop a pic of what it would look like.
