Icon and font size in the zapp launcher is not customizable. You can change the screen resolution and also the windows icon size, the zapp icon remain with the same size.
It should be customizable, because in the acutal state it is terrible to work, when an icon is to big and the icon description walk into two lines

It would also be nice if we can select more than two lines for the description. Especially in school environments we have bundles with large names
YES, YES, YES! It's NOT state of the art at all, that ZAPP doesn't use the normal design rules! Font size is much to big! Also every option should be made available for startup.
I just rolled out ZENworks2017 and my users are horrified :-(
Ditto on Klaus F comment. users are not happy at all.. should be customizable.. also having to dig for the show true on the package.json so the windows shows at startup was a little much.. that should be easier way to make the edits.
Unbelievable fixed icon size?
I agree: Icon und font size must match the windows settings, with the possibility to customize.
We have just started our zen 2017 deployment with windows 10 and already have people complaining about how big the window is, how big the icons are......
Would be nice to be able to make the icons smaller and the spacing between icons smaller and even have the option of making it look similar to the old zenworks window from previous releases if required. The size of the window and icon spacing seems to be aimed at tablet users.
The package.json file looks to have a few options but not font, icon size and spacing
Please, please. Make it possible. Our (more than thousend users) need to start their applications in ZAPP Window. They always have the symbol view activated and since they don't have NalWin anymore they can't read the application names under the Icons because Icons and fonts are too big, bold and display only a small part of the application name like "Microsoft Of..." instead of "Microsoft Office Word". Very annoying! Can we get NalWin back?
the icon is blur too because of that.
think also too
All of my customers told me the ssame. It is an absolutely must have to have customizable sizes for Icons and Text
It would be great if you'd alloud icons size and font to be customized... My customers would consider this rather to be a fix and not an enhanced feature!
We customized zapp-1.0.0.css under %Program Files (x86)%\Novell\ZENworks\zapp\assets to change the font size in the Icon view. We have not put these changes on our production workstations yet, but the results are promising in our lab. Needless to say, these changes are not supported by Micro Focus, so use at your own risk (but it's only display settings, so not a lot of risk!).
Below are the settings we changed:
.fontsStyleIconView { font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; text-shadow: 2px 2px 1px #000000; }
/* CHANGE MADE: Changed font size to 12px and added text drop shadow. */
.mainIconDivSelect-top { top: -75px; }
/* CHANGE MADE: Changed to -75px to offset the alignment changes from messing with the icon caption height. */
.iconName { width: 84px; z-index: 5; height: 65px; vertical-align: top; }
/* CHANGE MADE: Changed icon caption width to 84px (fixes centering under icon), height to 65px (more lines of text visible), and aligned the text to the top of the field. */
.iconNameSelect > p { text-shadow: none !important; /* white-space: normal; */ width: 83px; /* padding: 6px 0px 4px 0px; */ background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.35); border-right: 2px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.35); border-left: 2px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.35); border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px; position: absolute; left: -2px; box-sizing: border-box; word-break: break-word !important; padding-bottom: 3px; color: black; }
/* CHANGE MADE: Disable text drop shadow when icon is selected. */
.iconName > p { text-overflow: ellipsis; -webkit-line-clamp: 2; display: -webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; height: 100%; }
/* CHANGE MADE: Changed height to 100% to allow all available space in the icon caption field to be used. */
With Update 3, using the branding Policy, it is possible to set the size of icons (Small / Medium / Large).
