Is it possible to make larger cinnamon notification window icons

Post by gessel »

I'd like to have larger icons in the notification windows in Cinnamon. Mine look like this:
Notification_window.png
The icon is quite wee. It'd be more useful and pleasing if I could adjust the size, and optimally preserve aspect ratio.

I saw this and was hopeful, but alas, not relevant to Mint-Y-Dark (maybe a Yaru theme?).

And these two lonely requests for help:
viewtopic.php?p=1377433&hilit=notificat ... e#p1377433
viewtopic.php?p=2236757&hilit=notificat ... e#p2236757

I anticipate the same fate, but perhaps there's someone who knows where those icon sizes are defined.
Thanks!

There are so many reasons to dislike Windows, but the notifier is much prettier. It'd be nice if we could get a bit more out of the icon space as a visual indicator rather than 16pix micro-icons.
Same code running on Windows, much more readable icon.

You can send an image path with notify-send

Code: Select all

--hint=string:image-path:yourpath 
I wonder if there is something in #notification-body { for this.

I see notification-icon-button in
https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-theme ... nnamon.css

It would be something along those lines but would need to look up the corresponding code in the app itself to find clues to the image.

I'm a fan of padding and margin. Here are my customizations ...
