Hi there,

prompted by some complaints on too large icons on Mac, switched the

        Did we ever get some screenshots of the perceived problem ? I asked in
some bug, but never got that back AFAIR.

this was already in place for windows

        I really think the small icons are a usability, and legibility disaster
when used on large screens - and there is a real risk of selecting them;
if the Mac people get their DPI settings together that's great, Linux
doesn't (of course).

added similar code for Mac). Gnome/KDE pick large icons unconditionally
currently - but maybe someone wants to add nice auto-sizing code
there?

        Can't be based on DPI; that is mostly fixed.

        My concern is for Windows really - I'd want the vast majority of users
on > 1024x768 to have large icons.

        Have we tested it there ?

        Thanks,

                Michael.
