[Bug 1475174] Re: Unity launcher badges too small for smaller icons

 

'Too small' is a function of screen size, pixel density, viewing
distance, and user preference.  For that reason, the only reasonable
solution for this would be to provide a user-visible per-display
configuration option with a reasonable default based on the display's
scaling factor.

This would make a good first project for someone looking to dive in to
Unity development.

Title:
  Unity launcher badges too small for smaller icons

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If, using unity-tweak, you drop the size of launcher icons down to a
  smaller size - say 32px - the badges that count things like unread
  messages are too small.

  This has been a bug since 14.04 and persists through 15.04.

  There should be a minimum size for badges so that they are always
  readable.
