Zorin 17 Gnome layout show apps icon too large

If you use the gnome layout, then open the show app menu, the application icon is very large.

I don't know if this happens only on my device or on all devices.

That's by design (Gnome design). I like it that the icons a large, when you get older and eyes begins to fail you, you'll start appreciate it as well :wink:

But I'm still 30 years old.

Isn't it designed for touchscreens, where large icons suit big fingers?

I don't know what the Gnome team was thinking, but I do like large icons.
But from closer look at the screenshot, the space between the icons could be bigger, to avoid it looks like a mess, which can be fixed by theming.

Hi, just now when I opened Zorin, the icon size change to the right size. I don't know how it works. I didn't change anything.

So I think this case is closed.

Maybe a Restart or new Login was enough for that.

Yeah, just a “glitch”, if we can say so. And 1 of the worst of issues that you can see, because might be an issue that happens once and then you can't reproduce it anymore to report it (because developers prefer to receive bug reports with issues that are reproducible 100% of the times, or at least easily with certain steps).

yes I hope it just a glitch. because I really like Zorin 17.

And probably not even the last you'll see. You can anyway post a screenshot or short video if possible, I'm interested in seeing what others can find.

Yes. It turns out that this problem sometimes still appears again. usually when switching from one layout to another. But I can't be sure how to repeat it. And it can also be normal again if you switch from one layout to another.
