Heres the icon pack thing i was talking about, and heres what’s going on.
I reset the icon pack to the default. Then I go back and show all icons have changed. Then I apply an icon pack and go back and show its changed but that some icons are smaller than others, then I apply the same icon pack again and go back and show all icons are now the same size.
I then rinse and repeat this a few times with Random icon packs.
BTW I noticed something while playing this back in the “Apply an Icon Pack” Dialog the Icon Packs are all Squashed up against each other, could you add some margin to tidy it up cheers.
I finally understood what the problem was. In fact there are two issues, one in the icon pack, one in Lighting.
The first is that the pack (tried with voxel) defines an inner icon scale 70% and also provides default backgrounds for apps without a matching icon. The issue is that these backgrounds do not take into account the 70% scale, and as a consequence apps without a matching icon pack will look larger. The icon pack scale should be applied on the original icon only, not the background nor the overlay.
The second issue is a bug in Lightning where the scale is not applied correctly on items with a matching icon and when they have already been customized. The scale is reset to 100% instead of being set to the icon pack value (here 70%). As a consequence after applying the icon pack twice, all icons are at 100% and this seems coherent, although all should be at 70%, including backgrounds which are not.
I am fed up with all these icon packs ambiguities. I will remove/hide the issue by simply ignoring the scale parameter, and if someone wants to adjust it, it would still be possible to do it manually.
There’s jus so many different ways to perform the same actions, task, etc for most stuff in this launcher, I honestly don’t think it would be even mathematically and scientifically possible to catch every single possible action and every one of the routs possible to execute it without it literally taking hundreds of thousands of years maybe millions or more (too many long equations for me) to actually completely optimize every last detail. What do you mean by manually? Like each icon?? Lol Uh Uh jus tell everyone which is the fastest way to apply them and jus rest the drawer icons when they change a pack.. Ya never know when it could be useful to not remove anything if possible.. Jus my opinion you da boss bro lol but you’ve already done things light years beyond anyone else man, but I feel ya, shit will aggravate me like that too lol

fortunately not on each icon, but once at the app drawer settings level 😉
