Alt+Tab widows size

[hkjz]

hi

to change size of the icons when pressing alt+tab, i have this code

Code: Select all

#in
	nano ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
	
#paste
	xfwm-tabwin {
   	-XfwmTabwinWidget-icon-size: 64px;
   	-XfwmTabwinWidget-preview-size: 64px; }
		
#The minimum/maximum acceptable sizes for icon-size are 24/128 and for preview-size are 48/512.
	
#refresh
	xfwm4 --replace
	xfwm4 -V

problem is that "xfwm4 --replace" somehow freeze, and dont finish its action. What am i missing?

Thank you

if you are doing terminal commands, it doesn't freeze, the terminal prompt waits for the command to finish before giving the prompt back. since the window manager is running, the command has not finished and so the prompt is not returned.

use a & to fork the xfmw4 process away from the terminal process.

Code: Select all

xfwm4 --replace &

or run the command in a "runbox" rather than the terminal (hint, the whisker menu search bar will also run commands)

**edit** I suppose the expanding disks that virtualbox uses might interfere with snapshots. could be why things work in real systems and not in VB. I don't have any staticly sized VB disks. I'll have to try that.

Hi Dolphin, thanks for answer,

something however is not right, icons size are still the same
ive replaced the px for different values, and the outcome is the same

if i do it in terminal, ive got this

Code: Select all

mx@mx:~
$ xfwm4 --replace &
[1] 9250
mx@mx:~
$ Waiting for current window manager (Xfwm4) on screen :0.0 to exit: Done
[waiting prompt]

doing
xfwm4 -V

of loging off/on doesnt help, icons size are still the same
