I am running Lubuntu on 13.10 and I also run Lubuntu 12 on some older laptops where Lubuntu 12.04 is the latest they can run on the hardware.
On both versions of Lubuntu I am running lxpanel with profile Lubuntu and with custom look and feel set to:
Widget: Clearlooks
Icon theme: elementry
Window Border: Clearlooks
The menu I am talking about is the menu that comes up when you click on Lubunu icon in left bottom corner which brings up other menus such as "Accessories" and I want to change the size of all the icons on this main menu and all sub-menus/apps, so for example the icon size for "Accessories" and the icon size for "LeafPad" in the Accessories menu.
I know how to change the icon itself to a different icon, but I cannot change the size of the icon.
In Lubuntu on 13.10
In my home directory I don't have a .gtkrc* file or .themes dir.
I have a .config dir and in there I have:
~/.config$ find gtk-2.0 gtk-3.0 lxpanel -type f
gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini
gtk-3.0/bookmarks
gtk-3.0/settings.ini
lxpanel/Lubuntu/config
lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel
The only one of these that mentions icons is lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel which contains:
iconsize=22
But this corresponds to the what you set when you right click on taskbar and select "Panel Setttings" in the "Geometry" tab and this effects the size of the icons on the task bar, launcher and systray and does not change the icon sizes on the menu.
I have a /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc which contains:
gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=22,22:gtk-button=16,16"
I tried changing the 22's to 30 and then sent kill -1 to PID for lxpanel and I also tried changing it to:
gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-applications-menu=30,30:panel-menu=30,30:gtk-button=16,16"
But neither change made any difference
I have a
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
but nothing obvious to change icon size in here:
grep -i size /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
GtkCheckButton::indicator-size = 14
GtkPaned::handle-size = 6
GtkRange::stepper-size = 15
GtkExpander::expander-size = 16
GtkTreeView::expander-size = 14
http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1468 seems to be asking the same question, and this post said it might not be possible, but it seems hard to believe that this is hard coded. I don't think it is to do with theme (ie I don't think there is a "big icons" theme) as the icons in the theme I am using have icons of all sizes and scalable svg icons and I can change the size of these icons fine on the desktop.
Any help on changing the icon size on the menu is much appreciated.
