Misalignment of icon and filename

Post by bobfleming »

Hi,
In 13.50 I notice in the details, list and small icons view the filename in the list view appears several pixels below the corresponding icon, i.e. the base of the icon is not aligned with the base of the filename. I've used C-S-<Mousewheel> to reduce the amount of line spacing as much as possible but the issue persists. This also occurs in the tree view.

Is there a way to fix the alignment?

Screengrabs attached, one from xyp the other from win explorer.

Do you also get this with a fresh installation (virgin config) of XY?

'Doh, found the problem. Errant registry setting, so problem unrelated to xyp. Thanks for guidance.

In an effort to increase the size of the icons in details view I had created a setting called Shell Small Icon Size (I forget the registry location). It didn't have the desired effect but was responsible for breaking the layout in xyp.
