Description calypsoe 2025-06-23 09:39:24 UTC

I'd like the icons on grid view of the application launcher to be larger, the desktop icon sizes range from 'tiny' to 'huge' but the grid view icon size is fixed, even making it one size larger would be easier on the eyes.

The list view is in line with the rest of the system and probably doesn't need to be altered in any way.

What's the use case for this? How would it be better for you?

The use case is mostly the same as for the desktop and dolphin, it just makes visually identifying applications a lot easier without squinting, this has a bigger impact on HiDPI and Ultra-Wide monitors..

Thanks. I don't think we plan to offer this feature, sorry. The icons are already fairly large, and there's an incremental cost to each additional setting we add.

No problem, thanks for taking a look.
