Hello,
The numbers of title's characters under the desktop icons is limited to 10, after, the text is on two lines :
An example : "Thunderbird" => "Thunderbi rd"
How to increase to keep the text on one line ?
I tried to decrease the police size, but no result, always two lines.
Thank you and have a good day,
André

Right-click on desktop / Configure Desktop / Advanced Options, you can select number of lines for icon text, and width of text in pixels.

If the size is in pixels that's a bug. KControl font sizes are in points, same as in word processors and text editors. Except in web browsers (other than Konq), 16px=12pt when DPI=96, 20px=12pt when DPI=120, 24px=12pt when DPI=144, etc. In most modern web browsers, 1px=1pt since several years ago. In browsers it used to be the same depends on DPI as everywhere else on the planet, but the W3 decided it needed to assign a different meaning to a long since established universal one.

It's not the font size; it's the width of the icons' text label.

Right, Thanks, I saw that.
So, it changes the organization of my Desktop.
Back to width= auto.

Right. When width of label is set in pixels instead of points, then as DPI increases, the corresponding size in pixels of the unchanged desktop font size setting in points increases, thus reducing the number of characters that fits into the space provided.
