F21 - Huge icons
Icons are taking over the World! In Fedora 21, that is.
I've always been afraid that the GUI generation would eventually
make Linux completely unusable, and now they've almost succeeded. :-)
In a few F21 GUI panels the icons are grotesquely large - 1.75 inches
square on a 15 inch wide monitor. Normal size would be ~0.25 in.
This makes the panel nearly incomprehensible. This occurs in, eg,
system-config-printer
system-config-firewall
virt-manager
A screenshot is attached of virt-manager running an instance of Centos
7 on the Fedora 21 host.
[No, it's not! GUI's are OK; images of them are too big for this
list. Sigh...]
The virt-manager icons are so big that that
the virtual window cannot be enlarged to a proper size.
A possible clue to the error are the messages in the root window
following the virt-manager command:
[root@datwiz ~]
# virt-manager
[root@datwiz ~]
#
(virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error:
gtk.css:67:18: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.
(virt-manager:1994): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error:
gtk.css:67:20: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.
Similar messages appear when system-config-printer is invoked.
Unfortunately these mean nothing to me.
FWIW, I installed F20 using the wonderful Live Xfce4 images ( thank you
Kevin Fenzi ), and have completely avoided the dreaded Gnome. I've
enabled multi-user.target so that neither lightdm nor gdm can destroy
my env variables.
My questions to you all:
Does anyone see these huge icons in the example programs?
Can anyone guess the problem with the Theme?
Am I the only one with the problem? On three machines, so far?
