Budgie - How to scale icons with lower panel size ?

craigtoyoracer

Mirr Yes you can change Icon and Font sizes. 🙂

Select -> Budgie Desktop Settings -> Fonts -> Interface right button and adjust size bottom right -> Select 🙂

craigtoyoracer That did it! Many thanks!

Mirr

craigtoyoracer Oh thank you, it did well for the clock font and the battery font 🙂 but the icons are still small !

elfprince craigtoyoracer That did it! Many thanks!

just when I think I've seen every budgie setting I could possibly see there is always another one! 😄

craigtoyoracer

Mirr Glad to hear.
Have you adjusted the Panel size ?
-> BDS -> Bottom Panel -> Size +/-

Also for those looking for larger text overall, try BDS -> Fonts -> Text scaling.

Mirr

brent Thanks for the links. I will check it out in detail in a couple days 🙂 if it's too complicated for me I might just switch to KDE Plasma.

Mirr

SethStorm666 Oh I hesitated between Budgie and KDE Plasma when I installed Solus. I went for Budgie because that's the one Solus seems made for. Do you think KDE Plasma works just as well than Budgie with Solus ?

SethStorm666

Mirr

Both are great on Solus.
IMO Solus got the best Budgie experience/setup out there.

SethStorm666 IMO Solus got the best Budgie experience/setup out there.

this is true. I've tried it in Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu, etc----they are budgie technically but there is no Celtic Magic. Solus the best experience IMO as well.

@Mirr I did not mean to deviate your request for help here, apologies

Mirr

craigtoyoracer Yes I did, the panel size adjusted, the left bottom icons adjusted, but not the right bottom ones, except System Tray after I selected "Scale icons with panel size" - but this setting doesn't exist for the other icons ("Notifications", "Status Indicator", "User indicator", "Raven Trigger").

EbonJaeger

The intention was that all the applet icons would have scaling with the panel implemented, but not all of them got done before we had to switch our entire focus to Wayland. It shouldn't be hard to do if someone has a little programming knowledge, especially with the examples of the other applets that it does work for. Someone just has to get around to doing it.

Mirr

EbonJaeger Thank you for your answer ! Well, if nobody takes care of that I think I will switch to KDE Plasma. Budgie seems to have not enough personalization settings to my taste for now 🙂

AlphaElwedritsch

Well, give it a try. But remember, nothing is perfect 😉
Yes, there's much more you can configure. But it's complete different...
You'll see and maybe you can give feedback here about your experience
