Berk, is this what you're seeing? Some of the icons are 24 tall by 22 wide. On Linux & Mac, that makes the toolbar buttons 24 by 24, so there are 2 pixels extra for each button. On Windows, the buttons are 24 by 22, so everything looks more compact. I suggest making the icons square. |

Or is it about the vcr controls? They are 16x16 and go in 24x24 buttons. |

Ken, can you give feedback here? |

I've attached an image comparing the ParaView toolbar to those used on Outlook and MSVC. Notice that the ParaView toolbar just seems to take up more room than the other toolbars. Because everything is bigger, the toolbars don't fit on a single line on a smaller display (or with the default window geometry) and having multiple toolbar lines takes more room. ParaView will have lots more toolbar buttons by the time we finish, so we should try to minimize the amount of space they used. Then again, the actual icons in the other applications look smaller. One could argue that because ParaView requires many icon buttons without standard representation, we need the larger images to convey the proper meaning. If that is the case, that's fine, but we need to make a conscious decision about it. |

I was investigating spacing :) Renamed the bug to investigate sizing. The ParaView toolbar icon sizing is the same as all my other applications on my desktop, which is why I never suspected the sizing to be different. Would it be a useful exercise to make quick and dirty 16x16 icons for paraview to compare? Then I can attach snapshots. |

We agreed to keep the icons the same size, so they can be descriptive. With the new icons coming, we should make sure they are square. |
