Allow larger icons. #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The icons and 'blocks' in the main menu should be allowed to be larger 
then the 16 x 16 pixels they are limited to now. Allow up to 32x32 or 64 x 
64 in the preferences would be nice.

I used to program java so, if I am feeling up to it I might do this 
myself, and send you a diff or patch file. But its not actually that large 
of a problem currently.

Only other thing I can think of is to copy a version of the javaw.exe from 
the installed JRE to the D-Box folder and rename it D-Box.exe and setup 
the shortcut to execute it.

Hi! It's already possible to change the size of the icons, although it's a bit
awkward: If you locate the "dbox.config" file, and open it using a plain text 
editor
like notepad, vi or textedit, you can modify some "hidden" preferences. Locate 
the lines

IconWidth        := 22
IconHeight       := 22

and change 22 into whatever you like (32 or 64). I'm not sure this is a setting 
most
people care about, so i don't think I'll make a ui for this setting.

I've thought about creating a wrapper around the jar file on windows, but since 
osx
is my primary os, i'm not too familiar with windows programming. What would we
benefit from copying the javaw file?

Using the javaw and renaming it to whatever you have, you would be able to see 
the 
correct name for it in the task manager and other such things. Otherwise it 
just 
shows up as 'javaw.exe' intead of 'd-box'.

You can now change between small(16), medium(24), large(32) and X-large(48) 
icons.
will check the javaw solution.
