Open With on Linux

Solicitous · 04-30-2010, 10:02 AM

I noticed recently that I have the option to right-click a file, select Open With and Calibre is on the list. However the problem I am having is the icon for calibre is far larger than the icons for the other apps in the list, thus making the menu rather large. Where can I change the icon to a smaller size?

I am running Ubuntu btw.

Hey! Same here. Karmic Gnome

Not a major issue, just cosmetic problem for me.

I am going to explore http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8553732
Update:
Not the solution for this.

weird I would think the menu would resize icons to be of a uniform size. Look for calibre-gui.png on your system and resize it manually.

Ha, worked a treat. The original calibre-gui.png was 510x389. Now it is 128x96 and all is well on the Ubuntu front.

Thanks.
