What about Configure Digikam -> Album View -> Tree View Thumbnail Size?
I think icon size in the toolbar is a KDE-wide settings, is it?

Thank you, Marcel, but that adjusts the icons _in_ the sidebars, not the icons
that let the user select _which_ sidebar is displayed. I am sorry for not
making that clear.

The icons that I am referring to are these on the right:
Albums, Calendar, Tags, Timeline, Search

And these on the left:
Properties, Metadata, Colours, Captions, Filters

Dotan,

Why do you want to changes these icon sizes ? It's not enough as well ?

Technically this could be done like in Kontact or Okular. In this way you can
make icons different size, show text.

Usability pro: bigger icons are more readable, easier to hit with mouse.

Gilles, the icons are tiny on my laptop. This Dell has a 129 DPI screen. I
cannot see the icons comfortably. Furthermore, even on the desktop system we
would prefer larger icons as the monitor is larger, but we sit further away
from it.

In my opinion the icons should be the same size as the toolbar icons, for the
same reasons.

Dotan,

digiKam sidebar is based on KDE component KMultiTabBar. When we append a tab to
a bar, we pass a pixmap as icon. If i change pixmap size to large value, it's
downscaled automatically by KDE.

So, it's impossible to change icon size with KMultiTabBar.

... but there is another issue for your problem. KMultiTabBar style can be
changed to always print tab title:

http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/classKMultiTabBar.html#1620e3aa198963c7d94233050139c827

Currently, VSNET style is used in digiKam, but i can add a setup to choose
KDEV3ICON style. What do you think about ?

*I* like it. I see only two potential problems:
a) bad visual feedback about which tab is active (overall problem with Oxygen
:/ )
b) how it fits on small screens - according to screenshot height of left tabs
is ca. 700px, right tabs just over 600px; could you test how it works with
minimized window to 600px of height?

With small screen, it's not adapted. For ex, on my laptop (800*1280), not all
sidebar tab are visible. In all case, by default, the current style must be
selected for digiKam

About to improve visual feedback, a ticket can be open in KDELibs...

Thanks, I filed this bug (the component needs changing, though I don't know to
what):
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183339

> bad visual feedback about which tab
> is active (overall problem with Oxygen

I agree, it is extremely difficult to determine which icon is depressed. File
the bug and link here, I will comment on it.

> SVN commit 921697 by cgilles

Thanks!

Why is the new option under Album View? Is it not valid in other views?

It's valid everywhere. AlbumView need to be renamed as General i think. i
cannot find another place for that... If you have a better idea...

I addressed weak visual feedback about KMultiTabBar with Bug 184395 report but
Oxygen developers closed this because this widget isn't under direct control of
styling engine.
