Asked by david williams

Have editted Shell.qml, IconTile.and LauncherList.qml.

To reduce sice of Icons( as suggested for unity-2d.)

Cannot see where I have gone wrong.

Can I reload/renew relevant package?

Many thanks.
I have sorted out the problem. It took me over a day of trying but eventually sorted by reinstalling " unity-2d-Shell"
I have learnt alot on the way to the solution though.

Note:- Reinstalling unity2d did not correct the problem.

i always use this script to change size of icon in unity-2d
http://www.lffl.org/2012/04/unity-2d-script-per-cambiare-la.html

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/964512/misc/script.py

chmod +x script.py

From terminal type:

sudo ./script.py xx

Where the xx is the icon size in pixel we want (default is 48 px)

To resize the icons to 32 px we must type:

sudo ./script.py 32

sudo ./script.py 32; killall unity-2d-shell unity-2d-panel

Thanks again.

I have copied your info. and will certainly give it a go, but will wait a few weeks before using.
