Ubuntu 16.04 desktop icon size
I'm using small icon for my desktop, after installing Wesnoth for Ubuntu 16.04, the icon is huge, and I can't resize it, is there a way to resize it? How.
Thanks for your comment/suggestion.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but that sounds like a Ubuntu issue rather than anything Wesnoth controls.

I don't think it's an Ubuntu issue, in my desktop, I'm using small icons, so when I install apps, the apps' icon showing up on my desktop are small, but after installing Wesnoth, the Wesnoth app icon is big, and there's no way for me to resize it (sometime, depending on the apps, you can resize the apps icon, but not with Wesnoth, so I'm afraid the developer did not make the icon resizeable, I'm not knowledgeable about Linux, so maybe I'm talking nosense).Pentarctagon wrote:I'm not sure I understand the question, but that sounds like a Ubuntu issue rather than anything Wesnoth controls.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 desktop icon size
Well, I use Mint rather than Ubuntu, I don't know what you mean by "small icons", and the Wesnoth Project isn't actually involved in packaging Wesnoth for any of the distros as far as I know. It might just be that nobody ever knew/felt like supporting small icon mode.
edit - either way, if you're having a graphical problem, screenshots are always helpful.

If it is only the desktop icon, that is a problem for you, search for the icon-image in your installed game folders, and maybe try to resize it yourself using any image manipulation program (e.g."The Gimp" or any other for Linux). That's what i would do myself.

Re: Ubuntu 16.04 desktop icon size
Right, I understand that I can resize it manually, but before doing it, I'd like to know if there's a smaller icon hidden somewhere during the installation. Maybe the developer forgot to create a smaller one, in Windows 10, it showed perfectly.Zap-Zarap wrote:If it is only the desktop icon, that is a problem for you, search for the icon-image in your installed game folders, and maybe try to resize it yourself using any image manipulation program (e.g."The Gimp" or any other for Linux).
