Make dock icons smaller please! #143

Open Aqua1ung opened 1 month ago

Is there a way to make the dock icons smaller please? I am using the smallest setting ("Shrink Icons"), and they still overlap the app indicators in some cases. Methinks that if you make them smaller, there will be some room left for some decent app indicators. Feel free to take some inspiration from the original Dash2Dock, just to see how they solved the problem.

For example, in the screenshot below you'll see a barely visible app indicator overlapping the Facebook icon. And the rest of the app indicators are also so small that they are barely visible too, despite the fact that I am using the "big" setting.

Please try this. Uncheck "Shrink Icons". And then set icon size to just above "zero". Edit: No very intuitive and not very precise. I've been wanting to update this. But we do have a way of make the icons very very small. I'm on a laptop though. Not sure if this is small enough for large displays

I can wait until you fix this, no biggie.

@icedman My manjaro test desktop has a 1440p screen I'll test icon sizes on that tonight once I am back from my lecture.

@Aqua1ung Typically what I do is disable shrink icons and let the dock manually scale down as I add icons to it, that might be a possible temp solution.
