10.10 Netbook Edition 2D Icon and font size

[Gav Mack]

After ridding myself of my Unity nightmare with the Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2D (ubuntu-netbook-efl) I'm nearly back to what I was (very happy) with Lucid. However the nearly part is I've found the icons and related text are far too large for the desktop on my Acer Aspire One - screenshot attached. There doesnt seem to be an option to adjust these via the appearance settings so could a kindly person please give me a clue on how to do this?

Many thanks in advance.

Gav, I'v got the same effect on the same hardware.
My solution has been to change the desktop option on the login screen to the U N R option not the 2D OPTION. Hence I have he default options which are acceptable.

I too did not like the Unity theme on the the Maverick version and will stick to LTS for the meantime.

I have the same problem on a HP Mini 1000, and if I select the UNR option instead of the UNR 2D option, I'm back in the Unity desktop, which is slow as molasses with this graphics chipset. Any other suggestions?

netbook-launcher-efl is a different program to the netbook-launcher one. You need to uninstall that and install the lucid netbook-launcher file, try adding the lucid repositories. The problem happened to me in lucid as you can intsall it by6 mistake if you get it wrong.

select sources form the drop down menu

uri= http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

in the distribution put 'Lucid'

in the next box put 'main universe restricted multiverse'

click add of finish or whatever, done that should now work.

Just found out about Unity 2D (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/unity-2d-qt-now-available-in-ppa-for.html), hopefully this will solve my problems.
