Emblems on Ubuntu Gutsy Desktop

| I recently upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy - but now the emblems on files
and folders are so tiny they can hardly be seen at all!
It would be nice to know how I can adjust their size.

Are you trying to say that Ubuntu isn't Debian?

That is correct. It is based on Debian - i.e. they use a similar
infrastructure/system to Debian, take Debian packages and add their own
customisations to make their distribution. Some issues will the same for
both Debian and Ubuntu, some will be specific to one of the other.

That's right.
You're a pretty quick study, eh?

In about 10 seconds, not knowing what you meant by emblems, I typed gnome
emblems in google. The second link is to a launchpad bug report #126104
regarding too small of emblems. Now 30 seconds later I know what the name
of those little symbols on my folders are, and how to adjust their size.
Here is a snip from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+...eme/+bug/126104

Re: [Bug 126104] Re: emblems are too small
a way to fix the tiny emblems is to edit
/usr/share/icons/Human/index.theme and find
[scalable/emblems]
Size=128
Context=Emblems
Type=Scalable
MinSize=32
MaxSize=256
then change Size=128 to Size=24
Now it makes no sense to me why a smaller number '24' makes the emblems
larger, and a larger number '128' makes them smaller.

The reason isn't clear - but the emblem ought to be smaller than the icon
size if it is not to look silly/impossible.
An emblem is like a kind of mini-icon which you can append to a file/
folder icon - e.g. a padlock symbol for a read-only file.
Anyway - it works!!!
Thanks for your help stonerfish
No thanks are due to those other guys.
BTW I did a lot of google searches - but I didn't know that it was a
gnome related problem. It's quite hard to find the match if you don't
know this, since the error appears in nautilus - a gnome file manager and
therefore of some relevance to a debian newsgroup.

There is nothing debian specific about the problem. So it does not fit.
However, this group is not exactly overcrowded. You get away with about
every linux related topic ;-)

Yeah, that's some great logic you have there. Yup, the problem appears in
a Gnome file manager, but nobody would ever suspect that it's a Gnome
related problem. Got it. Right.

How is Gnome directly relevant to Debian in any way?

Well, since there isn't a Gnome news group here is as good a place to
ask as any. If he used Debian that is ....

Ubuntu is notoriously well served at http://ubuntuforums.org/

Unfortunately it is too well served!
It lacks organisation because it tries to do too much!
It says there are 3,000,000+ posts - the answer to every possible
question may well be in there - but who knows?
Plus it lacks a nice newsnet interface.

There are a number of Gnome newsgroups.

That's the problem when there are no clear demarkation lines.
I saw the error in a gnome application and blamed the application.
It wasn't the application, it was a gnome related "issue".
But it was only an issue because of a config setting.
So it appeared to be a debian problem - but was a ubuntu implemention
fault (now cured on my machine!!!(.
Thanks to all concerned.

Ubuntu Gutsy Desktop is. (see subject line)
Chances are, the OP is not the first Ubuntu user to be hit by this
missconfiguration.
