    syatem tray icons

    Hi guys,
    Is there any way to increase the siz3 of system tray icons.
    I increased the size of my panel, and at the size of 49 pixel system tray icons are displayed in two lines where as I want them to be on one line. I think increasing the size of the icons might help.

    Is there any way to do that?

    You can select the size of icons here.

        I believe it's either Toolbar or Main Toolbar. Just play with one or the other and see what changes. Not the settings before you change, so you can set it back if needed.

          well none of them helped.

          Also I couldn't find bigger icons for the icons on the system tray in the icons folder. or it might be that I'm looking in the wrong folder. Do they exist?

            Well, ....

            From the online Help while on that screen:
            Advanced

            Looking at this second page of the icons control module, you will see two areas:
            • An area labelled Use of Icon. Here you can choose which particular usage of icons you want to configure, for example Toolbar or Panel.
            • A preview area where you can see how icons of the selected kind will look using the current settings. Note that the state of this preview also depends on the icon state selected in the effects below (do not worry about that now, we will explain that below).


            When you want to configure icons, first select the usage of icons you want to configure. Change the settings until you like the preview. You can then choose a different icon usage and configure that. At the end, if you are satisfied with your settings, click OK or Apply to take the changes in effect.

            There are two further options to consider, Size and Effects.

            Icon Size

            You have two options relating to icon sizes. First, you can choose from a list of icon sizes. Second, you can tell KDE to draw all icons using double sized pixels. The largest icon sizes are especially useful for visually impaired people.

            Which sizes will be offered by the icon size listbox depends on the icon theme you have selected in the icon themes control module. For example, the low color icon theme only offers the sizes 16 and 32 for desktop icons and 16, 22 and 32 for toolbar icons. The HiColor theme offers icon sizes 16, 32 and 48 as well as sizes from 64 to 128. However, as KDE can not have all these icon sizes in store, icons using size 64 to 128 will be automatically generated which may result in a loss of quality.

            If the icon sizes offered by your chosen icon theme are not enough for you, there is still the option Double-sized pixels. If this option is selected, all icons will have double sized pixels, i.e. a 2x2 block instead of normal pixels. While this makes it possible to achieve very large icon sizes, the quality is poor: icons will look “blocky”, an effect you may remember if you've grown up using a Sinclair ZX Spectrum or similar. If this is an option for you, using the large sizes offered by KDE's HiColor icon theme will always result in a much better quality than using the low color icon theme with double sized pixels.

            You can also choose animated icons. Many of the icons have animations associated with them. Enable the checkbox labelled Animate Icons, to enable this effect, but note that it may appear slow or jerky if your graphics card is old or you are low on memory.

              I searched all the folder under /usr/share/icons
              but no where I was able to find the I con for my volume control (default volume icon). Can anyone tell me where can I find it.

                You might try this one to force the icons in one row:

                edit [buttons] section in ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc, and add:
                IconMargin=4
                or
                IconMargin=5
                (default is 3)
                Save and restart kicker

                It'll basically add more padding to items on panel, possibly enough to force the icons on one row
                (of course it might also affect other items like launcher icons, making them smaller.)
                Check if you can find a setting that works for you.

                This and more kicker tweaks here:

                  Re: syatem tray icons

                  I install new icons themes, but those icons don't appear under /usr/share/icons folder

                  where should I look for newly installed icons?

                    How did you install them? In SystemSettings or KControl?
                    Check ~/.kde/share/icons
