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

 

I understand the metrics, and difficulties in 'too small' in modern
computing. My only issue is that whatever function does the badge sizing
is allowing metrics which render the badge unreadable.

I would have thought there are other locations where text is sized
according to graphical elements successfully. Nautilus file manager?

With that respect it might be simpler to have someone familiar with
these issues to fix?

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.
