Description Daniel 2008-06-29 23:45:23 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Hi, I'm used to Windows XP Explorer List View.
That's why I already changed my fonts to Tahoma,8.
Luckily I can get Dolphin to look pretty similar to Explorer.
But unfortunately, the smallest grid spacing level is "small",
which is still too much spacing in my eyes.
The spacing I would like for Dolphin's view
is already used in KDE's file open dialog.
So my request is another grid spacing level: "tiny"
with spacing like in the file open dialog.

Here is a screenshot

In the foreground (the file open dialog) you see the spacing
I would like for Dolphin (in the background).

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Daniel for the suggestion! I'll take care in KDE 4.2 to make this more flexible (it's too late already for KDE 4.1).

Even better would be a slider to steplessly adjust the grid spacing,
because nearly everything else in KDE4 is steplessly adjustable.

Just to add that
1) icon spacing could also be proportional to icon size and
2) there is a lot of difference in the largest and largest-1 icon size, I want one more size option there (between them), at least for preview if not for icon.
Thanks.

SVN commit 880533 by ppenz:

Allow having a smaller text width for the icons view (Text size: "Small"), so that the same grid size can be achieved like in Konqueror for KDE 3. The default size for Dolphin will stay on "Medium".
