Gnome-Do is one of most useful features installed on my system. But I hate how big the Docky's default icon size was.
So here's the easy way to resize it (the less easy way is to tweak the gconf-editor):

So here's the easy way to resize it (the less easy way is to tweak the gconf-editor):
- to resize the bar length : hover your mouse over the bar's side until you see resize icon, drag left-right to resize,
- to resize the icons : hover your mouse ove the vertical separator on the left hand side of clock applet, drag up-down to resize

At first, I looked for its configuration on Gnome-do preferences but I couldn't find any. I even tweak the gconf-editor! And must restart the gnome-do to see the effect.
I was thinking, because it is Linux I must do it the "text way" :)
You did too?

For those who like the geekier way, here's how :

For those who like the geekier way, here's how :
- run gconf-editor either by press Alt-F2 and type gconf-editor, or click the shortcut on System Tools -> Configuration Editor,
- go to /apps/gnome-do/preferences/Docky/Utilities/DockPreferences/IconSize and change it to your desired size number,
- quit gnome-do, and then start gnome do,
- enjoy

I have been trying to figure it out as well in my netbook (the default size is about 1/8 of the screen). But since I cannot find anyway to resize it, I opted not to use it. Thanks for the tip! Now I am trying docky again. :D
you're welcome...glad I can help you re-docky :) (on your new hp 2140? I read your blog)
You can change the icon size with the configuration editor by changing the key: /apps/gnome-do/preferences/Docky/Utilities/DockPreferences/IconSize
You can make it as small as you want. On my system, graphically I can only change it to some minimum size (24pt), not smaller.
hello sander,
i've tried that, but gnome do needs to be restarted to see the effect. and that 's not too newbie-friendly.imho.
thanks anyway, i'll included this method for those who want to know/tweak their Ubuntu better.
Umm yeah, so guess what, YOU ROCK! Thankyou!!!
Grrrr... all those people saying that you had to use gconf-editor! :-/
@Gerry : you're very welcome.
I like to solve things in GUI as much as possible too.
