Default mcp_iconsize...?

What does the number relate to? If I put in a value of, say: '74', the row height is definitely not 74 pixels (I've measured it). I have two layouts of different widths. The icon row is now different heights, depending on which layout I use. So what I want to know is - how do I know what number to use if I want an icon row height of 74 pixels, exactly?


I put the mcp_iconsize command in the global section at the top of my WALTER document, so it should be the same for all layouts - right?

Edit:
I just commented it out, which shows that "mcp_iconsize" wasn't doing anything at all, in the first place. Why isn't it having any effect?

tcp_iconsize (and mcp_iconsize) are scalar variables; you don't set them you read them. Like 'h' or 'folderdepth'.

Thanks, White Tie. I haven't got as far as understanding 'scalar values'.

Allow me to rephrase my question:
Is there a way to alter the icon size. If so - how?

Cheers.

Actually you almost certainly have, maybe you just don't know it by those words. If you've ever done anything like "h<20" then you used h, a scalar variable, to compare height against 20 (or whatever) to make a layout change. That's it. You could do the same with iconsize, though I'm not sure why you would or whether I ever have.

IIRC no.
