[pkg-fso-maint] icons + font sizes. was: [debian] State of SHR packaging?

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Sorry that I am starting another thread -- but I just got subscribed to
this list and 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2009-March/000826.html
has no way to get the msg in mbox format, nor there is Message-ID. But I
want to follow up... and want to follow up here, not in
smartphones-userland since it is related to packaging! packages must
be such that no such tweaking should be needed

> However there are still blocking problems - tiny font and no launcher 
> icons.

ICONS:
as I've reported in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514018

copying /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
from FSO resolved the issue for me -- I see icons now ;)
sorry that it is that unscientific and I haven't troubleshooted it to a
proper fix

FONTS:
I've switched to use Xglamo
specified in /etc/init.d/nodm

X_OPTIONS="vt4 -nolisten tcp -dpi 138"

nb 138 should slightly be higher, but I've not played with it to choose
the optimum


and then in illume settings

-> Look -> Scaling
Scale with DPI - on 
Base DPI 98

-> Display -> Launcher
Icon size - Very large

Now all the fonts icons are  close to perfect sizes imho.

there is two issues though which I guess I should file against e17:

1. no scrolling in 'gadgets area'.
 in FSO scroll left<->right effects in the same as clicking left or
 right arrows -- ie switching to another open app

2. gadgets in visible panel are not 'clickable'
 when I click on battery -- nothing happens (should reveal % charged)
 when I click on added wrench for config -- no illume configuration
 comes up

 icons are clickable in 'hidden' area when I make it visible
