#109 Option for ICON Only?

[Steve Valliere]

I've put lots of effort into choosing and designing the icons for my programs and I would very much like to have an option to show a larger icon with no text. This would allow me to keep the MaxLauncher window smaller since the tiles no longer need space for text AND would allow a larger icon size to be displayed as well. Other launchers I have tried all have this option, I'm hoping that MaxLauncher will have it, too!

Have you tried modifying the theme? Customize the theme via Settings->Theme and change the following...

FavoritesButton -> FavoritesButton.ImageHeight = <some 16,="" 48,="" 64,="" 32,="" number="" eg.="" etc.="">
FavoritesButton -> FavoritesButton.Key.FontSize = 1
FavoritesButton -> FavoritesButton.Key.Text.Color = Transparent (under Standard Colors)
FavoritesButton -> FavoritesButton.Key.MouseOver.Text.Color = Transparent (under Standard Colors)</some>

TabButton -> TabButton.ImageHeight = <some 16,="" 48,="" 64,="" 32,="" number="" eg.="" etc.="">
TabButton -> TabButton.Key.FontSize = 1
TabButton -> TabButton.Key.Text.Color = Transparent (under Standard Colors)
TabButton -> TabButton.Key.MouseOver.Text.Color = Transparent (under Standard Colors)</some>

Which launchers have the option you want? I would like to have an idea of what you are trying to accomplish. Thanks.

Thanks, I'm new to this launcher, I've been using Appetizer for the past few years. I didn't realize the themes had such a high level of customization (the built-in themes appeared to only change color schemes). Anyway, I set the image height to 48, and the colors to transparent as directed, but I left the button key font size as 12 so that the 'F1' (or whatever) would still show. Now it looks great! Thanks and sorry to be a bother.

No problem. Some things you might find useful https://maxlauncher.sourceforge.io/documentation/kb.html

Same effect can be achieved via customization of Theme.

I decided to add an option instead. Try it and let me know.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxlauncher/files/MaxLauncher/Beta/1.24.1.0/?upload_just_completed=true

I also made changes to show the tooltips when text is hidden. Check changes on https://maxlauncher.sourceforge.io/downloads.html

Wow! Thanks so much! The list of changes looks like exactly what I was hoping for, but so far, any attempt to download the 1.24.1.0 beta (in any of the 4 forms) has resulted in a 503 Service Unavailable error. I will try again every hour or two in hopes that it will start working eventually. Thanks again!

EDIT: I gave the download one more quick attempt (this time from the 'recent activity" list instead of the download page) and it worked.

All of the new features work perfectly and exactly as expected, THANK YOU!
