Description

Applications icons in lxlauncher have a fixed size, hard-coded in the application. The problem is that we cannot control the user's display resolution. Although DDL tries to add resolution limits on CRT screens, on LCD screens it is better to use the native screen resolution to avoid a blurring effect. As a result, on very large resolutions, lxlauncher icons are very small in the screen and this is not desirable.

The solution is to patch lxlauncher so that icon size are computed as a percentage of the screen width, say between 5 and 10%. Ideally this percentage should be modifiable, either using a configuration file (say “/etc/lxlauncher.conf”) or using a command line parameter (or both!). A margin between icons should likely be computed too, using the desired icon size.
